substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.  
12. 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, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience  
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.  
21. Safety Check- Upon completion of any service or repairs to this video  
product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine

as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers)  
that produce heat.  
13. 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. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with regard 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. (Fig. A)
