14. If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. In the U.S. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code and in Canada Part 1 of the Canadian Electrical Code 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.
See Figure.
15. For added protection for this television 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. This will prevent damage to the receiver due to
lightning and power-line surges.
16. 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.
17. Unplug this television receiver from the wall outlet, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. b. If liquid has been spilled into the television receiver. c. If the television receiver has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the television receiver does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions asimproper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the television receiver to normal operation.
e. If the television receiver has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the television receiver exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.
18. Do not attempt to service this television receiver yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
20. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this television receiver, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the television is in safe operating condition.
21. WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
22. CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT US'E THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
NOTE: This equipment is designed to operate in the U.S.A., Canada and other countries where the broadcasting system and
AC house current isexactly the same as in the U.S.A. and Canada.
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.

Installation
Receiver Location
Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the
screen. Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or
moisture.
To insure optimum color purity do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fan, other speakers, etc.) nearby.
Optional External Equipment Connections
The Video/Audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best perfor- mance, video cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic
supply house.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components require. Also determine the length of cable you'll need.
AC Power Supply Cord
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE
SLOT OF AC OUTLET AND FULLY INSERT. DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG
WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADE CAN BE FULLY
INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
Polarized Plug
Remote Control Battery Installation & Replacement Battery Installation
Batteries: Use two "AA" batteries.

Observe the Following Precautions:
1. Batteries must be replaced as a pair.
2. Do not combine a used battery with a new one.
3. Do not mix battery types (Example: "Zinc Carbon" with "Alkaline").
4. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn used batteries.
5. Battery replacement is necessary when Remote Control reacts sporadically or stops operating the Receiver.
