Instruction Manual
CAUTION
PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS, KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS AND HEED ALL WARNINGS. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This TV set has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. However
improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safe guards incorporated in this TV set, observe the
following basic rules for antenna/ TV installation, use and servicing. All operating and use instructions should be followed.
Do not remove the cabinet cover. This may expose you to dangerous voltages. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Important Safety Instructions
Power Sources - The TV set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the TV set or as indicated in the Operation Manual.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply in your home, consult your local power company. For TV sets designed to operate from battery power,
or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Water and Moisture Warnings - Do not use the TV set near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet
basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like. The TV set should not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, should be placed on the TV set.
Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV set and to protect it from
overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the TV set on a bed, sofa, rug,or
other similar surface. This TV set should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.
Grounding or Polarization - Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. Apolarized plug has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding - type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. This plug will only fit into a
grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
Heat - Do not install the TV set near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
Cart Combination - A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
TV set and cart combination to overturn.
Accessories - Do not place the TV set on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV set may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
adult, and serious damage to the TV set. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or accessory
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the TV set, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
Power-Cord Protection - Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the TV.
Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in fire or electric shock.
Cleaning - Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a dry cloth for
cleaning the exterior of the TV set.
Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards or electric shock.
Lightning - For added protection for this TV set during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.If a
snapping or popping sound from a TV set is heard continuously or frequently while the TV set is operated, unplug the TV set and consult your
dealer or service technician. It is normal for TV sets to make occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off.
Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into the TV set through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or shortout parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV set.

Servicing - Do NOT attempt to service the TV set yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Precautions
(continued)
Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outdoor antenna is
installed, follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such
power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code in USA
and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code(ANSl/NFPA
70) in Canada provides information with respect 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.
Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to the TV set, ask the service technician to perform routine safety
checks to determine that the TV set is in proper operating condition.
Disposal - When the TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper disposal could result in a picture tube implosion.
Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of the TV set.
