IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS 
- 6 - 
9  Attachments -- Do not use attachments unless recommended by the video product manufacturer as they 
may cause hazards. 
Caution: Maintain electrical safety.  Power-line operated equipment or accessories connected to this unit 
should bear the UL listing mark or CSA certification mark on the accessory itself and should not have been 
modified so as to defeat the safety features.  This will help avoid any potential hazard from electric shock or fire.  
If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel. 
10  Water and Moisture -- Do not use this video product near water -- for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, 
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like. 
11  Accessories -- Do not place this video product on an unstable card, stand, tripod, bracket or table.  The 
video product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance.  Use only 
with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the video product.  
Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting 
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. 
11A  An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care.  Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven 
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn. 
 
12  Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the video product, 
be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and 
built-up static charges.  Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information 
with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, 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 electrode.  See example below: 
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING 
 
13  Power Lines -- An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or 
other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.  When installing an 
outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching or approaching such power lines 
or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.  Installing an outdoor antenna can be hazardous and should be 
left to a professional antenna installer. 
USE 
14  Cleaning -- Unplug this video product from the wall outlet before cleaning.  Do not use liquid cleaners or 
aerosol cleaners.  Use a damp cloth for cleaning. 
15  Object and Liquid Entry -- Never push objects of any kind into this video product through openings as they 
may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.  Never spill 
liquid of any kind on the video product. 
 
16  Lightning -- For added protection for this video product during a lightning storm, or when it its left 
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or 
cable-system.  This will prevent damage to the video product due to lightning and power-line surges.
