SAFETYINSTRUCTIONS

i

t r i

i

Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a

thunder or lighting storm.

When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure not to
install the TV by the hanging power and signal

cables on the back of the TV.

O

Do not allow an impact shock or any objects to fall

into the product, and do not drop onto the screen
with something.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :

@

It is recommend that appliances be placed upon a

dedicated circuit; that is,a single outlet circuit which

powers only that appliance and has no additional

outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification

page of this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not connect too many appliances to the same

AC power outlet as this could result in fire or elec-
tric shock.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall out-

lets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords,
frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire
insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions

could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically
examine the cord of your appliance, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration,

unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and

have the cord replaced with an exact replacement

part by an authorized servicer. Protect the power
cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as

being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall
outlets, and the point where the cord exits the
appliance.

Do not make the TV with the power cord plugged
in. Do not use a damaged or loose power cord. Be
sure do grasp the plug when unplugging the power

cord. Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the
TV.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or electrical

O

shock, do not expose this product to rain, moisture
or other liquids. Do not touch the TV with wet

hands. Do not install this product near flammable

objects such as gasoline or candles or expose the
TV to direct air conditioning.

Do not expose to dripping or splashing and do not

@

place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, cups,

etc. on or over the apparatus (e.g. on shelves above
the unit).

GROUNDING

O

Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to
prevent possible electric shock. (i.e. a TV with a

three-prong grounded AC plug must be connected
to a three-prong grouned AC outlet) If grounding

methods are not possible, have a qualified electri-

cian install a separate circuit breaker.

Do not try to ground the unit by connecting it to

telephone wires, lightening rods, or gas pipes.

Breaker

DISCONNECTING DEVICE FROM MAINS

@

Mains plug is the disconnecting device. The plug
must remain readily operable.
