xii Important Rules for Safe Operation 707-161 Rev. 3
Important Safeguards (continued)
8. Accessories: Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, bracket, or
table. The product may fall causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious
damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, bracket, or table
recommended by Scientific-Atlanta. Any mounting of the product should follow
the mounting instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended
by Scientific-Atlanta. 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.
9. Ventilation: Slots and openings in the cabinet are provide for ventilation and
ensure reliable operation of the product, and protect it from overheating. You
must not block or cover these openings. Never place the product on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other similar surface, which could block these ventilation openings. Do
not place this product in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided, or the instructions have been adhered to.
10. Heat: Locate this product away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves or other products (including amplifiers) that radiate heat.
11. Power Sources: Operate this product only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply in
your home or business, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to
the operating instructions supplied with the product. For applications other than
in North America, use a suitable attachment plug adapter to connect to the
power source. To determine the appropriate attachment adapter type, refer to
qualified technical personnel.
12. Polarization: This product may be equipped with a polarized alternating current
line plug (that is, a plug having one blade wider than the other). 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 replace your obsolete outlet. Do not attempt
to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
13. Power Cord Protection: Route power-supply cords so that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the appliance.
