Objects have fallen, or liquid has spilled into the Component; or C. The Component has been exposed to rain; or D. The Component does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; or WARNING - TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE. CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT. ATTENTION: POUR EVITER LES CHOCS ELECTRIQUES, INTRO- DUIRE LA LAME LA PLUS LARGE DE LA FICHE DANS LA BORNE CORRESPONDANTE DE LA PRISE ET POUSSER JUSQU' AU FOND. 16. To prevent electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an extension cord, receptacle or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure. Pour preevenir les chocs electriques ne pas utiliser cette fiche polarisee avec un prolongateur, un prise de courant QU une autre sortie de courant, sauf si les lames peuvent etre inserees a fond sans laisser aucune pariie a decouvert. 17. Grounding or Polarization - Precautions should be taken so that the grounding or polarization means of the Component is not defeated. 18. Internal/External Voltage Selectors - Internal or external line voltage selector switches, if any, should only be reset and re-equipped with a proper plug for alternate voltage by a qualified service technician. See an Author- ized Carver Dealer for more information. 0-29v 19. Attachment Plugs for Alternate Line Voltage (Dual voltage models only) - See your Authorized Carver Dealer for information on the attachment plug for alternate voltage use. This pertains to dual-voltage units only. This apparatus does not exceed the Class A/Class B (whichever is applicable) limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations .of the Canadian Department of Communica- tions. ATTENTION - Le present appareil numerique n'emet pas de bruits radioelectriques depassant las limites applicables aux appareils numeriques de class A/de class B (selon Ie cas) prescrites dans Ie reglernent sur Ie brouillage radioelectrique edicte par les ministere des communications du Canada. EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN ARTICLE 810-"RADIO AND TELEVISION EQUIPMENT" ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT +---(NEC SECTION 810·20) 1-+--- GROUNDING _I .•-I-~ __ CONDUCTORS (NEC SECTION 810-21) POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H) NEC-NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE. NOTE TO CATV INSTALLER This reminder is to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guide- lines for proper grounding and in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical. OUTSIDE 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-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
