Safety Instructions for Television Receivers

1. Read and apply the operating instructions provided with your television receiver.

2. Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for later use.

3. Unplug this television receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.

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

5. Do not use this television receiver near water. For example: Avoid placing it near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

6. Do not place this television receiver on an unstable cart, stand or table. The television receiver may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the

and should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.

6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and _l_J_"

uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

7. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to insure
reliable operation of the television receiver and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the television receiver on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface. This television receiver should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This television receiver
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

8. Operate 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 television dealer or local power company. For television receivers designed to
operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

9. This television 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 N_.=.....=_.----GAS'_

Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Teletext or Other Fixed Image Displays.

The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the picture tube. This
background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible picture

tube deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
A. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.

B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.

NOTE: The marking or retained image on the picture tube resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as

such is not covered by Warranty. This product is not designed to display fixed image patterns for extended periods of
time.
