IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read before operating equipment
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance
with the manufacturers instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat regis-
ters, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-
type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than
the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your
safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particu-
larly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the app-
aratus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving
the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
15. This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these
materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations.
For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local
authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org
16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced
by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appli-
ance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended
international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties
of its cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could ultimately overturn the product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could
unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to
a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to
the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric 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 connectors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through
openings.
a) Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.
22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that may
result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:
• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as marked on
the unit.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.).
• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.
Example of Antenna Grounding
as per NEC - National Electric Code
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC
that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

A
nels (VHF 2—13 and UHF 14—69). Your connection is
easy because there is only one 75Π(ohm) antenna plug on
the back of your TV, and thats where the antenna goes.
If yourantenna has a round cable(75 ohm) on the end,
then you’re ready to connect it to the TV.
1
If yourantenna has flat, twin-lead wire (300 ohm), you
first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a
300- to 75-ohm adapter.
Push the round endof the adapter (or antenna) onto the
75Π(ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of
2
the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

T
he AutoLock™ feature receives and
processes data sent by broadcasters or
other program providers that contain program content advisories. When programmed
by the viewer, a TV with AutoLock™ can
respond to the content advisories and block
program content that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence,
sexual situations, etc.). This is a great feature
to censor the type of programming children
may watch.
In the AutoLock™ section, you ll learn how
to block channels and programming that is
not rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You
will also find out how to turn these blocking
features ON or OFF. Following are brief
explanations of some terms and ratings related to the AutoLock™ feature.
AutoLock™ offers various Blocking
Options from which to choose:
BLOCKING: The BLOCKING control is
what can be thought of as the master switch
for AutoLock™. This control affects the settings you have chosen for blocking programs
according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or
for blocking programs that have no rating or
are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is
OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is
disabled. When the BLOCKING control is
ON, blocking will occur according to the settings you have chosen.
NO RATING: ALL programming with no
content advisory data can be blocked if NO
RATING is set to ON.
Programming that has No Rating is not
encoded with any rating information from the
MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any programming could fall into this category.
You also can block individual channels or
block programming based on ratings of the
MPAA and TV broadcasters. (See a description of the ratings on this page.)
