Electrical energy can perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and
property damage if improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the
highest priority on safety. But IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE
HAZARD. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following instructions when
installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of your

5. Do not use this apparatus near water---for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
Do not use immediately after moving from a low temperature to
high temperature environment, as this causes condensation,
which may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

6. Clean only with dry cloth---Unplug this product from the wall
outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer instructions. The vents and
other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not
cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient
ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the
product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This
product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the
product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless

radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including

9.Grounding or 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 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.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.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. Do not use
attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of improper attachments can result in

---

13. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Sudden stops,
excessive force and uneven floor surfaces can cause the product to fall

Move carefully---

14. Lightning---Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when

unused for long periods of time.
For added protection for this television equipment 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 equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

15. Servicing---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 the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or

16. Replacement parts---In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service
person uses
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and

17.Overloading---Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles on other
equipment as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

18.Entering of objects and liquids---Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings.
High voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal
parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

19.Damage requiring service---If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from
the AC outlet, and request a qualified service person to perform repairs.

Important Safety Precautions (continued)

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER

<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. Section
810 of the National 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

<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 collide with 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

22. Power source---This product is intended to be supplied by a listed power supply indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer
or local power company. For added protection for this product 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
cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power line surges. When the
unit has to be used with another power supply voltage, the power cable must be changed. Consult your
product dealer. The socket outlet should be installed near the equipment and easily accessible. Use only
the power cord designated by our dealer to ensure safety and EMC. When connecting other products

Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.
Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries

and/or cause old batteries to leak chemicals.
Remove batteries as soon as they are non-operable. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a

rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe with a cloth.
The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75- ohm
coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. Terminal.
Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay
channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by
the cable TV company.
This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. For more
specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of
utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below. Please

“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV’s
channel keys.
“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied) : You can view the scrambled channels via the
