accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

An appliance and cart

corabination should be

moved with care. Quick

stops, excessive force,

and uneven surfaces may

cause the appliance and

cart combination to

ow_rturn.

9. Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of' the TV receiver and to protect it from overheating. Do not bk.ck these opera ngs

or allow them to be blocked _y placing the TV

receiver on a bed. sofa, rug, _r other similar

surface. Nor should it be placed over a radiator

or heat register. If the TV receiver is to be placed in a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilatio ] and that the manufacturer's instructions have been

adhered to.

10. Power Sources This TV receiver should be ,)perated only l_rom the type of power source indicated on the

marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your hon_e, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.

11. Grounding or Polarization This TV receiver is equil:ped with a polarLzed alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit in [.othe power outlet only one way. If you are unable to

insert the plug fully into the outlet, try

reversing the plug. If the p lug 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 Protection Power-supply cords should be routed so that

they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or a_ainst them, paying particular attention to c_rds at plugs, conve- nience receptacles, and ';he point where they exit from r_he appliance.

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. 70-1984, 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 conductors, location of antenna dis- charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
