Wall or Ceiling Mounting ~ The appliance should be mounted to
a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
Ventilation — The appliance should be situated so that its location or
position does not interfere with its proper ventilation. For example, the
appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface
that may block the ventilation openings; or, placed in a built-in instal-
lation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the flow of air
through the ventilation openings.
Heat — The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other appliances (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
Power Sources — The appliance should be connected to a power
supply only of the type described in the operating instructions or as
marked on the appliance.
Polarization — The polarization of the plug is a safety feature. The
polarized plug will only fit the outlet one way. If the plug does not fit
fully into the outlet, try reversing it. If there is still trouble inserting it,
the user should seek the services of a qualified electrician. Under no
circumstances should the user attempt to defeat the polarization of the
plug.
Power-Cord Protection — Power-supply cords should be routed so
that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, especially near plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the appliance.
Cleaning — The appliance should be cleaned only as recommended
by the manufacturer.
Power Lines — An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.
Nonuse Periods — The power cord of the appliance should be
unplugged from the outlet when left unused for a long period of time.
Object and Liquid Entry — Care should be taken so that objects do
not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
Damage Requiring Service — The appliance should be serviced
by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;
or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D.: The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
Servicing — The user should not attempt to service the appliance
beyond that described in the operating instructions. All other servicing
should be referred to qualified service personnel.
Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is con-
nected to the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges. Article $10 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-
charge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the antenna-dis-
charge
unit,
connection
to
grounding
electrodes,
and
requirements
for
the grounding electrode. See Figure 73.1.
