10. Power Sources

This TV receiver should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on
the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your home,
consult your appliance dealer or local
power company. For _I;Vreceivers in-

tended to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to ';he operating

instructions.

11.

Grounding or Polarization
This TV receiver is eq_:ipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a
plug having one blade voider than the

other). ']?his 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 ou.tlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug.

12.

Power-Cord Protect:ion

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, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the appliance.

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 outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system.
This will prevent damage to the TV receiver
due to lightning and power-line surges.

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 protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges.
