SAFETY
PRECAUTIONS
Electrical
energy
can
perform
many useful functions.
This
unit has
been
engineered
and
manufactured to assure
your personal
safety.
But improper
use
can
result
in
potential
electrical
shock or fire
hazards.
In order
not
to defeat
the safeguards incorporated
in
this
monitor, observe
the following basic
rules for
its installation
use
and
servicing.
And
also follow
all warnings
and instructions
marked on
your
video
monitor.
INSTALLATION
1.
Your
set is equipped
with
a
polarized
AC line
plug
(one
blade
of
the
plug
is wider
than the
other).
This safety feature
allows the
plug
to fit
into the
power
outlet
only one
way.
Should
you
be
unable
to insert the
plug
full into
the outlet,
try reversing
the
plug.
Should
it
still
fail
to fit,
contact
your
electrician.
2. Operate
the set only from
a
power
source an indicated
on the
set
or refer
to the
user's
manual
for
this information
lf
you
are not
sure of the type
of
power
supplied to
your
home,
consult
your
dealer or local
power
company.
3.
Overloaded AC outlets
and extension
cords are dangerous,
and
so
are frayed
power
cords and broken
plugs.
They may result
in a
shock
or
f ire
hazard.
Call
your
service technician for replacement.
4.
Do not
allow anything
to the rest or roll
over the
power
cord,
and
do not
place
the set where
power
cord
is
subject to
traff ic
or
abuse. This may
result
in a shock
or
fire hazard.
5. Do not
use this
set
near
water - for
example, near
a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen
sink, or laundry
tub, in
a wet basement,
or
near
a
swimming
pool,
etc.
6. Sets are
provided
with ventilation
openings in
the
cabinet to
allow heat
generated
during
operation to be released.
lf these
openings are
blocked, heat
built
up
within
the set
can
cause
failures
which
may result
in a f ire hazard.
Therefore:
o
Never
block the
bottom
ventilation slots by
placing
it
on
a
bed, sofa, rug,
etc,
o
Never
place
a
set in a
"built-in"
enclosure
unless
proper
ven-
tilation is
provided;
o
Never
cover
the
openings
with
cloth
or
other
material;
o
Never
place
the
set
near
or
over a radiator
or heat register.
7.
To avoid
personal
injury:
o
Do
not
place
a set on a
slopping shelf unless
property
secured;
o
Use
only a cart stand
recommended by the
manufacturer.
o
Do
not try to
roll
a cart
with small
casters across thresholds
or
deep
pile
carpets.
o
Wall and shelf mounted
installations
should
use
factory ap-
proved
mounting
instructions.
USE
1.
Always turn the set
off
if it is necessary
to
leave the
room for
more than a short
period
of time.
Never leave a set
on when
leav-
ing
the house. A
possible
malfunction
may
result in a
fire hazard.
2.
Caution children
about dropping
or
pushing
objects
into
the set's
cabinet openings.
Some
internal
parts
carry hazardous
voltages
and
contact can
result in a f ire or
electrical shock.
3.
Unplug
the set from the
wall outlet before cleaning
the face of
the
picture
tube.
Use a slightly damp
(not
wet)
cloth.
Do
not
use
an aerosol directly on the
picture
tube since it may overspray and
cause
electrical
shock.
4. Never
add accessories
to
a set that has not been designed
for
this
purpose,
Such
additions may result in a shock hazard.
5.
For added
protection
of the set during a lightning
storm
or
when
the set
is
to
be left
unattended
for
an extended
period
of time,
unplug
it from the wall outlet. This will
prevent
possible
shock
and
f ire hazards
due
to lightning storms or
power
line
surges.
6. Do
not bring
magnetic
devices such
as
magnets or motors near
the
picture
tube. These
things have a bad
effect on the color
purity
of the
picture.
7.
Sometimes
you
may
feel static electricity when
you
touch the
surface of the
picture
tube.
Howeve,
this is normal for
any
TV
set and
is harmless to the
human body.
