IMPORTANT INFORMATION: OPTIONAL STAND

Matching stands were designed to be used with 25 inch and larger table
model TV(s) included in this book. The recommended stands are provided

with hardware to secure the TV to the stand so that it cannot be easily

pushed off, pulled off or tipped over. Your GE dealer can help you choose
the appropriate stand for your TV.

Caution: If you choose not to use the stand recommended for your TV,
take precautions that the stand or other furniture the TV is placed on is
properly located and of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from
accidentally being pushed off, pulled off, or tipped over. This could cause
damage to the TV and/or personal injury.

STEP 2:

Connect your TV. This is a basic
connection from an antenna, cable

box, or VCR to your TV. Connect the
cable from your cable system or off-air
antenna to the cable-in jack on the

back of the TV, as shown.

STEP 3:

Plug in the TV. Plug the end of the power cord into the

wall outlet, matching the wide blade of the plug with the

panels: point and select.

ahead and make the change or go to a place you

have indicated. (You can also select an item by
