IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

PLEASE READ ALL THESE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING YOUR TV RF, CEIVER AND RETAIN

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE. FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS MARKED ON

THE TV RECEIVER.

Ventilation

1. Read Instructions All the safety and operating instructions should be

read before the appliance is operated.

2. Retain Instructions The safety and operating instructions should be

retained for future reference.

3. Heed Warnings All warnings on the appliance and in the operating

instructions should be adhered to.

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

5. Cleaning

Unplug this TV receiver from the wall outlet before

cleaning. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

l"Warning: r

Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners to clean you TV. Cleaners may permanently damage your screen.

6. Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the TV receiver manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. Water and Moisture

Do not use this TV receiver near water -- for ex- ample, 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 receiver on an unstable cart,

stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV receiver may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the TV receiver. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the manu- facturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

Slots and openings inthe cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV receiver and to protect it from over-

heating, and these openings must no_: be blocked or covered. The openings should never

be blocked by placing the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV receiver should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat regi ster. This TV receiver should not be placed in a built-in insl:allation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper

ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have beer_ adhered to.

10. Power Sources This TV receiver shou!:d be operated only from

the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of

power supplied to you_: home, consulL your appliance dealer or local power company. For

TV receivers intended to operate from battery power, or o_her sources, refer to the operating

instructions.

11. Grounding or Polarization This TV receiver is equipped with a polarized

alternating-current 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 you 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 youc obsolete outlet. Do

not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized

plug.

12. 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, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, conve- nience receptacles, and the point where they

exit from the appliance.

An appliance and cart combination should be

moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance

and cart combination to

overturn.

13. Lightning For added protection for this TV receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it

from the wall outle_ and disconnect l:he antenna or cable sy:_tem. This will prevent damage to the

TV receiver due to ightning and power-line surgc's.

14. Power Lines 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.

15. Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16. Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into this TV receiver 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 receiver.

17. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV receiver, be sure the antenna or cable

system is grounded so as to provide some protec- tion against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/ NFPA No.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 conduc-

tors, location of antenna discharge unit, connec- tion to grounding electrodes, and requirements for

the grounding electrode.

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING

18. Servicing Do not attempt to service this TV receiver yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other

hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service Unplug this TV receiver from the wall outlet

and refer servicing to qualified service person- nel under the fol:Lowing conditions:

(a) When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged.

(b) If).iquid has been spilled, or objects have

fallen into the TV receiver.

or water.

(d) If the TV receiw_r 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 extensive work by a qualified technician 1:orestore the TV receiver to its normal operation.

(e) If the TV receiver has been dropped or the

cabinet has been damaged.

(f) When the TV receiver exhibits a distinct

change in perfo]:'mance -- this indicates a need for service.

20.
