1. Read, Retain and Follow Instructions
Read all safety and operating instructions before operating the appliance. Retain the safety and operating
instructions for future reference. Follow all operating and use instructions.
2. Heed Warnings
Adhere to all warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions.
3. Cleaning
Unplug this TV receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Cleaners can permanently damage the cabinet or screen. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
4. Attachments and Equipment
Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer as such additions
may result in the risk of fire, electric shock or other personal injury.
5. Water and Moisture
Do not use this TV receiver where contact with or immersion in water is possible. Do not use near bath
tubs, wash bowls, kitchen sinks, laundry tubs, swimming pools, etc.
6. 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 manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
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.
7. 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 block these openings or allow them to be blocked
by placing the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or 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 ventilation and that the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
8. Power Source
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 supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company.
9. Grounding or Polarization
This TV receiver is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than
the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. 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
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
10. 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, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the appliance.
5
11. 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.
12. 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.
13. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
14. 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.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
EXAMPLE OF 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.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 701984, 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 discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
