IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1. Read instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the TV is operated.

2. Retain Instructions - The saf ety and operating instructions should be retained for future ref erence

3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the TV and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. Follow Instructions - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5. Cleaning - Unplug TV from the wall outlet before cleaning - Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

6. Attachments - Do not use attachments not recommended by the TV manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture - Do not use this TV near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

8. Accessories - Do not place this TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV may fall, causing serious injury to someone and serious damage to the TV. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the TV. Any mounting of the TV should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

9. The TV and cart combination should be moved with care . Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the TV and cart combination to overturn.

10 Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable

operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

11. Power Sources - This TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of po wer supply to y our home , consult y our TV dealer or local power company. For TVs intended to oper ate from battery power , or other sources , refer to the operating instructions.

12. Grounding or Polarization - This TV ma y be equipped with a polarized alternatingcurrent line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature . If y ou are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not def eat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

13. Power-Cord Protection - Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, pa ying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the TV.

14. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Ar ticle 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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 antennadischarge unit, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure 1.

15. Lightning - For added protection for this TV during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due to lighting and power-line surges.

16. Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead po w er 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.

17. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this TV through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.

19. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening and removing covers ma y expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged. b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV. c) If the TV has been exposed to rain or water. d) If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those

controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensiv e work by a qualified technician to

restore the TV to its normal operation. e) If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way. f) When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

21. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

22. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in proper operating condition.

23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The TV should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

24. Heat - The TV should be situated a wa y from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, sto ves , or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Note to CATV system installer:

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Section 820-40 of the NEC which 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.

(Single 75 ohm cable or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)

Connect the 75 ohm cable from combination VHF/UHF antenna to the antenna jack. If your combination antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire, use the 300-75 ohm matching transformer (not included).

To prevent problems it is recommended that you use only the specified transformer. (Transformer Part No.: 1398-00301) (USA only)

CATV CONNECTIONS

For Subscribers to Basic Cable Service:

For basic cable service without a converter/descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the antenna jack on the rear of the TV.

Some cable companies offer “premium pay” channels in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable compan y. Below are illustrations f or connection of these types of con verter/ descrambler devices with the TV’s VHF antenna jack.

For Subscribers to Scrambled Cable Service:

To allow viewing of all channels through converter/descrambler. TV must be set to the output channel of the converter/descrambler (usually ch 3 or 4).

INCOMING COAXIAL CABLE

∞

Converter/Descrambler

For Subscribers to Unscrambled Basic Cable with Scrambled Premium Channels:

You may need to use a two-set signal splitter (sometimes called a “two-set coupler”) and an A/B switch box from the cable installer or an electronics supply store. With the A/B switch in “B” posi- tion you can directly tune to any non-scramb led channels using your TV’s tuning system or remote control. With the switch in “A” position, you can tune your TV to the output channel of the decoder (usually CH 3 or 4) and use the box to tune scrambled channels. Since cable systems vary, you may wish to consult your local cable company.
