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:

Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners to clean your 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 poo!, and the like.

8. Accessories

Do not place this TV receiver on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV receiver may fhl[, 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 t]ae manufacturer, or sold with the TV receiver. Any mounting of the appliance should follow the

manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufac-

turer.

An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and unewm surfaces may cause the appliance

and cart combination to overturn.

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 over- heating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the 'IV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV receiver should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. '['his TV receiver 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.

10. Power Sources This TV receiw_r 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 TV receivers intended to operate from battery

power, or other 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 t'ail 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 o_:against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, conve- nience 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 he 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.

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 receiw._r l'rom the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service person- nel under the following conditions: (a) When the power-supply cord or plug is

damaged.

(b) If liquid has been slpilled, or objects haw_

or water.

(d) If the TV receiver does not operate normally

by following the operating instructions.

Adjust only those controls that are covered

by the operating in,_tructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in

damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore 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 performance --- this indicates a need for service.

20. Replacement Parts When replacement parts are required, be sure

the service technician has used replaceraent parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original pan;.

Unauthorized substitutions may result i[n fire, electric shock or other hazards.

21. Safety Check Upon completion of any service or repairs to this

TV receiver, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the TV

receiver is in safe operating condition.

_Warning:

Do not leave stationary images, such as stock market reports or video games, on-screen for

more than 10 minutes. Still patterns such as these can scar the TV, causing permanent damage to the picture tubes.
