-4-

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:

When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

If liquid has been spilled into the television receiver.

If the television receiver has been exposed to rain or water.

If the television receiver does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls

that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of othercontrols may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the television receiver to normal operation.

If the television receiver has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

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 alt 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 USE 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 is exactly 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.
