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 potent!am

electrica! 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.

(POLARIZED-TYPE)

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.
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.

By displaying fixed images for extended periods of time, can leave a subtle but permanent ghost

image in your picture. This is referred to as "burn-in". To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern.

Examples include, but are not limited to the following:

Stock-market report bars

o Shopping channel loges and pricing displays
o Video game patterns or scoreboards
o Bright station loges

o Internet web sites or other computer-style

images.

o DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs

Broadcast, cable, satellite channels or digital
television tuners/converters.

For example...

TV off

Note: Warranty DOE8 NOT cover screen
burn-in or uneven picture tube aging.

Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster wilt keep your TV clean.
If you wish to wipe down the television, first unplug it. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth, slightly

moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water to help
remove spots of oily dirt.

o DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.
o DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.
o DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV's surface.

o DO NOT rub or scrub the TV harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.

The screen is treated with an electrostatic-proof coating. When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a
soft cloth. If the screen is very dirty, wipe it down with a cloth dipped in a diluted kitchen cleaner

and thoroughly wrung-out. Then wipe immediately after with a clean, dry cloth.

Do not apply alcohol, organic solvents (like acetone), acidic or alkaline cleansers to the screen.

These will remove the coating layer and cause discolorations.

Do not push or hit the screen. This could cause scratches on the screen surface and image

distortions.

This TV has three color projection tubes: one for red, green, and blue. When mixed together
in the proper portions, the output of these three color tubes can produce any color. To produce

these colors, however, the beams must be precisely aligned over each other so that the colors
can be mixed. The produce of aligning these picture beams is called "convergence".

Attention:

° Please have your TV on for at least 20 minutes before using this feature.
° This adjustment will be needed only when the colors of the characters/lines are separated

and tack in distinction. If not, please don't perform the adjustment.

Colors may become separated after the TV has been moved, or
over a long period of time if regularly subjected to tow levels of

vibrations. If the colors become separated, please perform the
adjustments below again, in the beginning, please be sure to
perform AUTO convergence adjustment.
