FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY

1. This television set is equipped 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.

2. When the power cord or plug is
damaged or frayed, unplug the
television set from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.

3. Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can res ult in
fire or electric shock.

4. Do not allow anything to rest on or
roll over the power cord, and do not
place the TV where the power cord
is subject to traffic or abuse. This
may result in a shock or fire haz ar d.

5. Do not attempt to service the
television set yourself as
opening or removing covers may
expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer
all servicing to qualified service
personnel.

6. Never push objects of any kind

into the television’s cabinet slots
as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts
that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the television set.

7. If the television set has been
dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged, unplug the television
set from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service
personnel.

8. If liquid has been spilled into the

PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR TELEVISION SET

12. Do not use the television set
near water, for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming
pool, etc.

• Never expose the set to rain or
water. If the set has been
exposed to rain or water,
unplug set from wall outlet and
refer to qualified service
personnel.

13. Choose a place where light
(artificial or sunlight) does not
shine directly on the screen.

PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR TELEVISION SET

16. If an outside antenna is
connected to the television set ,
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, NFPA
No. 70-1975, 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
electrode, and requirements for
the grounding electrode.

6-1. Note to CATV system inst aller:

(Only for television sets with
CATV reception) This reminder
is provided to call CATV system
installer’s attention to Article
820-40 of the NEC that provides
guidelines for proper grounding
and, in particular, specifies that
the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding
system of the building, as close
to the point of cable entry as
practical.

Important

14. Avoid dusty places, since
accumulated dust inside the
chassis may cause failure of the
set when high humidity persists.

15. The set has slots or openings in
the cabinet for ventilation
purposes which provide reliable
operation of the receiver and
protect the TV from overheating.
These openings must not be
blocked or covered.

or other electrical lights or power
circuits, or where it can fall into
such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care
should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or
circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.

18. For added protection for the
television set during a lightning
storm, or when it is unused for
long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and
