The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert

the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the products enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude

to constitute a risk of electric shock to person. The exclamation point within an equilateral

triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instruction in the literature accompanying the appliance.

Heat - Do not use this unit near sources of heat, including heating vents, stoves, or other appliances that generate heat. It also should not be placed in temperatures less than

5˚C (41˚F) or greater than 40˚C (104˚F ).

Mounting surface - Place the unit on a flat, even surface. Accessories - Do not place the unit on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall causing serious injury to persons and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacture, or sold with the

unit. When mounting the appliance, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. When mounting the unit, use

accessories recommended by the manufacturer. Portable cart - 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.

PORTABLE CART WARNING

S3126A

Ventilation - The unit should be situated with adequate

space around it so that proper heat ventilation is assured. Allow 10 cm clearance from the rear and the top of the unit,

and 5 cm from the each side. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation

of the unit and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. (This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.) This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Read the operating instructions carefully and completely before operating the unit. Be sure to keep the operating

instructions for future reference. All warnings and cautions in the operating instructions and on the unit should be strictly followed, as well as the safety suggestions below.

Warning

To prevent electric shock or other injuries, follow all the safety instructions when installing, operating and servicing the unit.

Installation

Attachments - Do not use attachments that have not been

recommended by the manufacturer because doing so may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or other injuries.

Water and Moisture - Do not use this unit near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

Weight and heavy objects

The unit should be moved with care by two or more people as the weight balance is not even. Do not place heavy objects on the unit.

Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into the unit through the cabinet slots because they may

contact dangerous voltage points or short-circuit parts and cause fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit. Do not put a vase or the like with water inside on this unit.

Electric Power

Power Sources - This unit should be operated only from

the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home,

consult your appliance dealer or local power company. To operate unit on battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

Grounding or Polarization - This unit is provided with a polarized alternating-current line plug (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 defeat the safety

purpose of the polarized plug.

ENGLISH

Power-cord Protection - The unit is provided with an

attachment plug with overload protection. This is a safety feature. See operating instructions for replacement or resetting of protective device. If replacement of the plug is

required, be sure the service technician has used a replacement plug specified by the manufacturer that has the same overload protection as the original plug.

Overloading - Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can result in fire or electric shock. Do not place the unit in an area where people will walk on the cord.

Outdoor Antenna

Power lines - An outside antenna system should not be

located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna

system, extreme care should be taken to avoid touching power lines or circuits because contact with them may be fatal.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 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. See the figure.

Damage Requiring Service

Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

1) When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

2) If liquid has been spilled into the unit.

3) If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.

4) If the unit does not operate normally when following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls

that are covered by the operating instructions because improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage to the unit and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation.

5) If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

6) When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

Do not attempt to service the unit yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to high voltage or other

hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required,

be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or having the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

Safety Check - After completion of any service or repairs to the unit, ask the service technician to perform a safety check to ensure that the unit is in proper operating condition.

Notes

NORMAL

• After selecting a closed caption mode, it will stay in effect until it is changed, even if the channel is changed.

• If the captions signal is lost due to a commercial or a break in the signal, the captions will reappear when the signal is received again.

• When selecting closed captions, the captioning might be delayed momentarily.

• If the channels are changed, the captions might be delayed momentarily.

• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the closed caption decoder text may not appear. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

• When activating the closed captioned decoder, there will be a short delay before the closed captioned text appears on the screen.

• The captions will appear in places on the screen where they will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of the screen. News programs will usually show three-line closed captions which scroll onto the screen. Most other shows provide two or three lined captions placed near the character who is speaking so the viewer can follow the dialogue.

• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the caption mode.

• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during closed captioning. This is normal with closed captioning, entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the closed captioned signal.

• Words in italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign languages or words requiring emphasis. Words that are sung usually appear enclosed by musical notes.

• For television programs broadcasting with closed captions, look in your TV guide for the closed captions symbol (CC).
