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.

(POLARIZED-TYPE)

3

7 An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines

or other electric light 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.

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.

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

Parental Guidance means the movie may contain some contents such as mild violence, some brief nudity, and strong language. The contents are not deemed intense.

❒ PG-13 – Parents Strongly Cautioned

Parents with children under 13 are cautioned that the content of movies with this rating may include more explicit sexual, language, and violence content than movies rated PG.

❒ R – Restricted

These films contain material that is explicit in nature and is not recommended for unsupervised children under the age of 17.

❒ NC-17 – No One Under 17

These movies contain content which most parents would feel is too adult for their children to view. Content can consist of strong language, nudity, violence, and suggestive or explicit subject matter.

❒ X – No One under 18

Inappropriate material for anyone under 18.
