5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance

with the manufacturers instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat regis-

ters, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-

type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and third ground­ing prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your
safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, con­sult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particu-

larly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table

specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the app-

aratus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving

the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for

long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is

required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.

15. This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these

materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations.
For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local
authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org

16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced

by qualified service personnel when:

A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or

B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appli-

ance; or

C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or

exhibits a marked change in performance; or

E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended

international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties

• Do not compromise these design standards by applying exces­sive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could ulti­mately overturn the product.

• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electron­ic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could
unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product dam­age and/or personal injury.

18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to

a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from

power lines.

20. OutdoorAntenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to

the receiver, 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 Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70­1984, 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 connectors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.

21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects

do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through
openings.

a) Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this appa­ratus should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.

22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that may

result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:

• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as marked on
the unit.

• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).

• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

Example of Antenna Grounding
as per NEC - National Electric Code

Note to the 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.
