FCC Notice
Class B digital device
This equipment has been tested and found
to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this

When mounting a TV on the wall, make
13
sure not to install the TV by the hanging
power and signal cables on the back of
the TV.
CAUTION concerning the Power Cord:
14
It is recommend that appliances be
placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is,
a single outlet circuit which powers only
that appliance and has no additional
outlets or branch circuits. Check the
specification page of this owner’s
manual to be certain.
Do not connect too many appliances to
the same AC power outlet as this could
result in fire or electric shock.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded
wall outlets, loose or damaged wall
outlets, extension cords, frayed power
cords, or damaged or cracked wire
insulation are dangerous . Any of these
conditions could result in electric shock
or fire. Periodically examine the cord of
your appliance, and if its appearance
indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of the
appliance, and have the cord replaced
with an exact replacement part by an
authorized servicer. Protect the power
cord from physical or mechanical abuse,
such as being twisted, kinked, pinched,
closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay
particular attention to plugs, wall outlets,
and the point where the cord exits the
appliance.
Do not use a damaged or loose power
cord. Do not pull on the power cord to
unplug the TV. Grasp the plug when
unplugging the power cord.

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 as death or
serious injury can occur.
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 (NEC) in the U.S.A. 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.
