Some Important Don'ts

HE "don’ts’ for householders are many, but some of the most important areDon’t interfere with the plug connection to hot point or lighting point. Don’t interfere with the set while the current is on. Don’t remove the earth wire from the set; it may serve the dual purpose of earth for the radio circutt and protection for the whole set. Dowit wnder any circumstances use the power supply mains (as was done in the Brooklyn fatality) for aerial or earth wires. Dow t, if the supply plug ts in anunsuitable position put in extensions; call in a licensed electrician. Don’t under any conditions use such material as bell wire or other low-grade material to connect your set with the plug. Don’t, tf a fuse blows out, replace it yourself. If you have a spare fuse-holder fitted with fuse wire, you may replace the defective one with it, but if you haven't, call in a registered wireman.
