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
television set, unplug it from the
wall outlet and refer service to
qualified service personnel.
9. Do not subject your television
set to impact of any kind. Be
careful not to damage the picture
tube surface.
NO!
10. Unplug the television set from the
wall outlet before cleaning. Use a
damp cloth for cleaning. Do not
use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
11-1.Do not place the television set on
Coins
an unstable cart, stand, or table.
The television set may fall, causing
serious injury to a child or an adult,
and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart or
stand recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the
television set. Wall or shelf
mounting should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions, and
should use a mounting kit
approved by the manufacturer.
11-2.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.

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.
• Never cover the slots or
openings with cloth or other
material.

• Never block the bottom
ventilation slots of the set by
placing it on a bed, sofa, rug,
etc.
• Never place the set near or
over a radiator or heat register.
• Never place the set in a "builtin" enclosure, unless proper
ventilation is provided.
17. An outside antenna system
should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines
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
disconnect antenna. This will
prevent damage due to lightning
and power-line surges.

of the type of power supply at
your home, consult your
television dealer or local power
company. For television sets
designed to operate from battery
power, refer to the operating
instructions.
IF THE TELEVISION SET DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY
22. If you are unable to restore
normal operation by following
the detailed procedure in your
operating instructions, do not
attempt any further
adjustments. Unplug the set
and call your dealer or service
technician.
Service
FOR SERVICING AND MODIFICATION
25. Do not use attachments not
recommended by the television
set manufacturer as they may
cause hazards.
20. If the television set does not
operate normally by following the
operating instructions, unplug
the television set from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Adjust only those controls that
are covered in the instructions
as improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage
and will often require extensive
work by a qualified service
technician to restore the
television set to normal
operation.
23. Whenever the television set is
damaged or fails, or if there is a
distinct change in performance
that indicates a need for service,
unplug the set and have it
checked by a qualified service
technician.
26. When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service
technician has used
replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer that have the
same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
- 3 -
21. If your television set is to remain
unused for a period of time,
(such as when going on a
holiday), turn the television set
?
OFF and unplug it from the wall
outlet.
24. It is normal for some television
sets to make occasional
snapping or popping sounds,
particularly when being turned on
or off. If the snapping or popping
is continuous or frequent, unplug
the set and consult your dealer or
service technician.
27. Upon completion of any service
or repairs to the television set,
ask the service technician to
perform routine safety checks to
determine that the television is in
safe operating condition.

Television Location
This television is intended to be used with a stand or entertainment center. Consult your dealer for available options. Locate
for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright lights (including reflections) will fall on the screen. Use
of some types of fluorescent lighting may reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from excessive heat or moisture. To
ensure optimum color purity do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, external speakers) nearby.
Optional External Equipment Connections
The Audio/Video connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best
performance, video cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic
supply house.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components
require. Also determine the length of cable you’ll need.
AC Power Supply Cord
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT OF
AC OUTLET AND FULLY INSERT. DO NOT USE A PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER
OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADE CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE. FOR
SOME MODELS THAT ARE NON-POLARIZED, THE USE OF AN AC ADAPTOR CONNECTOR MAY
BE NECESSARY.
