• Unplug this television from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service technicians under the following conditions:

• When the power cord or plug is damaged

or frayed.

• If liquid has been spilled into the

television.

• If the television has been exposed to rain

or water.

• If the television does not operate normally

by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, because incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage and often requires extensive work by a qualified technician to restore normal operation.

• If the television has been dropped or the

case has been damaged.

• When the television exhibits a distinct

change in performance.

Installing batteries in the remote control

Before using the remote control, you must install batteries. Use two AAA size batteries (not supplied). The batteries may last about one year depending on how much the remote control is used. For best performance , we recommend the batteries should be replaced on a yearly basis, or when the remote operation becomes erratic. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types.

• Never connect the AC plug to other than the specified voltage (120V 60 Hz). Use the attached power cord only.

• If the polarized A C cord does not fit into a non-polarized A C ou tlet, do not file or cut the blade. It is y our respo nsibili ty to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.

• If you cause a static discharge when touching the television and the television fails to work, unplug the televisi on from th e AC outlet, then plug it back in. The television should work normally.

2 Install two AAA batteries (not supplied).

3 Replace the battery compartment cover.
