FCC RF INTERFERENCE STATEMENT

NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limit for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.

If these equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measure.

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Correct the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio, TV technical for help.

• Only shielded interface cable should be used.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operation and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product.

WARNING : FCC regulations state that any unauthorized changes or modifications to this equipment

not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. U.S.A. ONLY

Note to CATV system installer : This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention

to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code 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.

This product utilizes tin-lead solder, and fluorescent lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations.

safety precautions

The present set has been designed and manufactured to assure personal safety. Improper use can result in electric shock or fire hazard. The safeguards incorporated in the present unit will protect you if you observe the following procedures in installing, using and servicing. The present unit is fully transistorized and does not contain any element that can be repaired by the user.

• Read these instructions : All functional instructions must be read and understood before operating the product.

• Keep these instructions : It is recommended to keep these safety guidelines and operating instructions in a safe place for future reference.

• Heed all warnings : All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.

• Follow all instructions : All operating instructions must be followed.

• Attachments / Accessories : Only use the attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer. Using inadequate attachments can result in accidents.

• Power source : This product must operate according to the power source indicated on the specification label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local electric company. For the units designed to operate on batteries or another power source, refer to the operating instructions.

• Power cord protection :

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

• Overloading : Do not

overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

• Influx of objects and liquids : Never let

AC 100~240V

objects into the product through vents or openings. Due to the high voltage flows in the product, inserting a foreign object in the product can cause electric shock and/or shorten internal elements. For the same reason, be careful not to spill water or other liquids over the product.

• Servicing : Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

• Repair : Unplug the AC cord from the outlet, and request a qualified service person to perform repairs when:

a. The power cord or plug is

damaged.

b. A liquid is spilled on or an

object is dropped into the product.

c. The product has been

exposed to rain or water.

d. The product does

not function properly as described in the operating instructions. Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of controls out of the instructions can cause damage, which often requires a qualified

technician for extensive adjustments. e. The product has been dropped or damaged. f. The product displays an abnormal condition.

Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the product needs servicing.

• Replacement parts : In case the product

needs certain parts to be replaced, make sure that the service engineer uses the replacement elements either specified by the manufacturer, or with the same characteristics and performance as original ones. Using unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

• Safety checks : Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

• Polarization : 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 a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Caution : To prevent electric shock, match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.

Attention : Pour éviter les choc électriques, introluire la lame la plus large de la fiche dans la borne correspondante De la prise et pousser jusqu’au pond.

• Cleaning : Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use only with a dry cloth to clean this apparatus. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

• Water and moisture : Do not use this product near water such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement. TV set shall not be exposed to dripping or slashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the TV set.

• Stand : Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Unstable installation is likely to make the product fall resulting in serious injuries as well as material damage. Use only the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.

• When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart / apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

• Ventilation : The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block them since insufficient ventilation can overheat and/or shorten the product’s life span. Do not place the product on the bed, sofa, rug or other similar surfaces since they can block ventilation openings.

does not affect your product’s performance.

• If an outside antenna is connected to television equipment, 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 Electrical Code provides information concerning proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure as well as of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, the size of grounding conductors, the location of antenna-discharge unit, the connection to grounding electrodes and the requirements for grounding electrode.

• As a measure of additional protection of this television equipment, unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. This will prevent the equipment from being damaged by lightning and power-line surges.

• Outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric or power circuits including the place where it can fall onto such power lines or circuits. Installing outside antenna system requires a full care to keep such power lines or circuits out of reach as it may be fatal to touch them.
