Important Safeguards

CAUTION:

Please read and retain for your safety.

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This TV set 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 TV set, observe the following basic rules for its

installation, use and servicing. Also follow all warnings and instructions marked on your TV set.

INSTALLATION

1 Your TV 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 fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. Should it still fail to fit,
contact your electrician.

2 Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the operating

instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your
TV set dealer or local power company. For battery operation, refer to the operating instructions.

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 fire hazard. Call your service technician for replacement.

4 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the TV set where power cord

is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard.

5 Do not use this TV set near water – for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a

wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.

6 If an outside antenna is connected to the TV 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 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 requirements for the grounding electrode.

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

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

8 TV sets are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow heat generated during operation to be

released.

Therefore:

— Never block the bottom ventilation slots of a portable TV set by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug, etc.
— Never place a TV set in a “built-in” enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
— Never cover the openings with a cloth or other material.
— Never place the TV set near or over a radiator or heat register.

9 To avoid personal injury:

— Do not place a TV set on a sloping shelf unless properly secured.
— Use only a cart or stand recommended by the TV set manufacturer.
— Do not try to roll a cart with small casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets.
— Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting kit

approved by the manufacturer.

Use

10 Caution children about dropping or pushing objects into the TV set through cabinet openings. Some

internal parts carry hazardous voltages and contact can result in a fire or electrical shock.

11 Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or an aerosol cleaner.

12 Never add accessories to a TV set that has not been designed for this purpose. Such additions may result

in a hazard.

PORTABLE CART WARNING (Symbol provided by RETAC)

13 For added protection of the TV set during a lightning storm or when the TV set is to be left unattended for

an extended period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent
damage to product due to lightning storms or power line surges.

14 A TV set and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven

surfaces may cause the TV set and cart combination to overturn.

Service

15 Unplug this TV set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the

following conditions:
A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the TV set.
C. If the TV set has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the TV set does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those

controls that are covered in the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV set to
normal operation.

E. If the TV set has been dropped or damaged in any way.
F. When the TV set exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for service.

16 Do not attempt to service this TV set yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

17 When replacement parts are required, have the service technician verify in writing that the replacement

parts he uses have the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use of manufacturer’s specified
replacement parts can prevent fire, shock, or other hazards.

18 Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV set, please ask the service technician to perform the

safety check described in the manufacturer’s service literature.

19 When a TV set reaches the end of its useful life, improper disposal could result in a picture tube

implosion. Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of the TV set.

20 Note to CATV system installer.

This reminder is provided to call the 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.

up V-CHIP ratings limits, these programs will not be blocked. See page 27 for information on
how to block unrated programs.

Note (for Canadian viewers): The V-Chip function is based on specifications designed for
the United States and therefore may not work properly in Canada.

US V-Chip Ratings

U.S. PARENTAL RATING SYSTEMS
Programs with the following ratings are appropriate for children.

 TV Y is Appropriate for All Children

Programs are created for very young viewers and should be suitable for all ages, including
children ages 2 - 6.

 TV Y7 is for Older Children

Most parents would find such programs suitable for children 7 and above. These programs
may contain some mild fantasy violence or comedic violence, which children should be
able to discern from reality.

Programs with the following ratings are designed for the entire audience.

 TV G stands for General Audience

Most parents would find these programs suitable for all age groups. They contain little or
no violence, no strong language, and little or no sexual dialog or situations.

 TV PG Parental Guidance Suggested

May contain some, but not much, strong language, limited violence, and some suggestive
sexual dialog or situations. It is recommended that parents watch these programs first, or
with their children.

 TV 14 Parents Strongly Cautioned

Programs contain some material that may be unsuitable for children under the age of 14
including possible intense violence, sexual situations, strong coarse language, or intensely
suggestive dialog. Parents are cautioned against unattended viewing by children under 14.

 TV MA Mature Audiences Only

These programs are specifically for adults and may be unsuitable for anyone under 17
years of age. TV MA programs may have extensive V, S, L, or D.

Viewing Guidelines

In addition to the ratings categories explained above, information on specific kinds of content
are also supplied with the V-Chip rating. These types of content may also be blocked. The
content types are:

• V/FV is for VIOLENCE/FANTASY VIOLENCE

• S stands for SEXUAL CONTENT

• L stands for strong LANGUAGE

• D stands for suggestive DIALOG

Movies Ratings

 NR – Not Rated

This is a film which has no rating. In many cases these films were imported from countries
which do not use the MPAA ratings system. Other NR films may be from amateur
producers who didn’t intend to have their film widely released.

NR (Not Rated) Programming may contain all types of programming including children’s
programming, foreign programs, or adult material.

 G – General Audience

In the opinion of the review board, these films contain nothing in the way of sexual content,
violence, or language that would be unsuitable for audiences of any age.

 PG – Parental Guidance
