DANGER: Invisible laser radiation when open and interlock failed or defeated. Avoid direct exposure to beam. A CONSUMER GUIDE TO PRODUCT SAFETY 1. Read Instructions - Read the safety and operating instructions before operating the system. 2. Retain Instructions - Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference. 3. Follow all warnings on the system and in the operating instructions. 4. Follow Instructions - Follow all operating and use instructions. 5. Water and Moisture - Do not use the system near water; for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc. 6. Carts and Stands - Use the system only with a cart or stand that is recommended by the manufacturer. A system and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces can cause the system and cart combination to overturn. 7. Ventilation - Place the system so its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the system should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that might block the ventilation openings; or placed in a built-in-installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that might impede the flow of air through the ventilation openings. 8. Power Sources - Connect the system to a power supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as marked on the system. 9. Grounding or Polarization - This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. 10. Power Cord Protection - Route power-supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the points where they exit from the system. 11. Cleaning - Clean the system only as recommended by the manufacturer. 12. Power Lines - Locate an outdoor antenna away from power lines. 13. Nonuse Periods - Unplug the power cord from the outlet when the system is to be left unused for a long period of time. 14. Objects and Liquid Entry - Take care that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings. 15. Damage Requiring Service - The system should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or B. Object have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the system; or C. The system has been exposed to rain; or D. The system does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or E. The system has been dropped; or the enclosure damaged. 16. Heat - Situate the system away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 17. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-in static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrodes. 18. Servicing - Do not attempt to service the system beyond what is described in the operating instructions. All other servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure. (CJD/all-07/12/94)
