This appliance is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than 

the other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow 

the instructions below:

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 have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized 

plug by forcing it in.

insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat 

the safety purpose of the grounding plug.

this can result in fire or electric shock. 

Unplug the power cord of the appliance from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.

To disconnect the cord, pull it out by grasping the plug. Never pull the plug out by the cord.

Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or 

against them, paying particular attention to the plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord exits 

from the appliance.

For added protection for this appliance during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and 

unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
