Alert Guard TM Important Information
• The green READY light on the front panel of the W is the main indicator that the Alert Guard system
is receiving NWR broadcast information. If it's not lit, the Alert Guard system can't inform you of
alerts. During poor reception conditions, the Alert Guard system might not inform you of alerts even
if the green light is on.
• Generally, the Alert Guard system can fail to notify you of dangerous conditions for the following
reasons:
I. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) did not broadcast an alert. Certain
criteria must be met for NOAA to issue an alert, and only certain events are reported by NOAA.
While weather forecasting continues to improve, it is not perfectly accurate. For this reason,
situations that might be dangerous to you may be unknown to NOAA.
2. Power was lost to the _ during the time when an alert was broadcast. If power is lost for more
than 15 seconds, the Alert Guard system will notify you that power was interrupted the next
time the _[V is turned on. Any alerts issued during a power failure won't be acknowledged by the
Alert Guard system. Therefore, you might want to purchase a battery operated alert radio or have
a battery powered radio available for listening when household power fails.
3. Reception of the NOAA Weather Radio (NWR) was poor at the time an alert was broadcast. Since
NOAA only broadcasts an alert once, momentary loss of reception can prevent alerts from being
received.
4. Options in the Alert Guard menu, such as locations and the NWR channel, were not set
appropriately. Instructions within the User's Guide will help you set up Alert Guard correctly.
• Alert Guard shouldn't be your only source of information. You should always maintain personal,
family, and neighborhood safeguard systems, and remain aware of changing conditions. The Alert
Guard system relays alerts based on information provided by the NWR. The Alert Guard system is
designed to recognize all alerts currently issued over the all hazards NWR broadcast system.
Incidents (such as local traffic accidents and weather related school closings) that don't endanger
the community with immediate threats are not broadcast.
• Alert Guard coverage is limited to the U.S.,U.S. territories, possessions and associated states, within
your local geographic area. These areas are listed on pages 37-54.
• While it appears you can set up the Alert Guard system to receive alerts from across the country, it
can only receive alerts broadcast for areas close to the location of the _.
• For models 2OF67OT,27V57OT and 27F67OT, don't leave headphones plugged in when they aren't in
use. Alarms will sound through the headphones and not the ]V's speakers, causing alarms not to be
heard.
• If your IV is connected to a receiver, amplifier, home theater system, or other audio equipment,
alerts won't be audible through such devices connected to the audio output terminals of the g/;
instead, the Alert Guard system will turn on the ]V's internal speakers to sound an alarm and make
the alerts audible.
• Non-weather emergency messages, such as chemical spills, nuclear power plant emergencies, gas line
breaks, etc., are not fully implemented nationally.
• If you receive an alert that tells you to seek shelter, do so immediately and don't continue to listen
for other alerts until you are safe.
• It might take time, and after you've received several alerts, before you understand how the Alert
Guard feature works.
• While government agencies use sophisticated equipment, such as weather models, radars, and
satellites to determine an alert's effective time and duration, the end of an alert also does not
necessarily mean that related emergency events are over. Weather conditions can change rapidly,
and caution should be taken before and after alerts.

Things to Consider Before You Connect
Protect Against PowerSurges
• Connect all components before you plug any of their power cords into the wall outlet.
• Turn off the IV and/or component before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions
packed separately.
Protect Components from Overheating
• Don't block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
• Don't stack components.
• If you place components in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplifier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it
won't flow around other components.
Position Cables Properly to Avoid Audio Interference
• Insert each cable firmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the IV, route all cables down the side of the back of the IV instead
of straight down the middle of the IV.
• If your antenna uses 3OO-ohrn twin lead cables, do not coil the cables. Also, keep the twin lead
cables away from audiolvideo cables.
Important Stand and Base Safety Information
Choose the location for your IV carefully. Place the IV on a stand or base that is of adequate size and
strength to prevent the IV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could
cause personal injury and/or damage the IV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions packed
separately.
Use Indirect Light
Don't place the IV where sunlight or room lighting will be directed toward the screen. Use soft or
indirect lighting.
Cables Needed to Connect Components to Your TV
The pictures below show the cables needed for the connection represented in this book.

Alert Guard Antenna
The picture to the left shows the Alert Guard antenna packed with your IV,
specifically designed for the Alert Guard feature. Connect the antenna to the EXI
Alert Guard ANT jack on the back of the IV (go to page 8 for more information).
Don't connect the antenna to the regular IV ANT jack on the back of the IV.

Programming the Remote to Operate Other
Com gonents
The universal remote can be programmed to operate most
brands of remote controllable components. The remote is
already programmed to operate most RCA,GE,and Proscan
components.
Also, the AUXbutton can be programmed to operate most
brands of an additional remote-controllable component.
Notes:The1Vbutton can't be programmedon thisremote.
Theremotemaynot be compatible with oil brandsend modelsof
components. It else may not operate oil functions of the remote that
come with your component.
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be
programmed for your component, turn the component ON.
For example, to program the remote for a VCR, turn on the
VCR. Point the remote at the VCR, and press the VCR1 button.
Then press ON,OFF or CH + (channel up) or CH - (channel
down) to see if the VCR responds to the remote commands. If
the component does not respond, the remote needs to be
programmed.
Programming the Remote
Thereare two ways to program the remote control:
. automatic code search
. direct entry
Using Automatic Code Search
The following instructions can be used to program the remote to operate each of your
components. If you want to stop the automatic code search without programming
any of your components, press CLEAR until the indicator on the remote turns off.
1. Turn on the component you want to operate (VCR, DVD player, etc.)
2. Pressand hold the component button you want to program (VCR1, DVD, etc.).
While holding the component button, press and hold ON.OFF until the indicator
on the remote turns on, then release both buttons.
3. Point the remote at the component. Press and release PLAY,then wait 5 seconds or
until the indicator on the remote stops flashing.
At this point the remote is searching for the correct code to program. If, after 5
seconds, the component you want to operate does not turn off, press PLAYagain
to tell the remote to search the next set of codes.
Continue pressing PLAY until the component turns off or you have searched
through all of the codes. There are 20 total sets of codes. If the component does
not turn off after pressing PLAY 20 times, then the remote can't be programmed
to operate that component. Press CLEAR to turn off the indicator light.

the remote is not compatible with your component.
How to Use the Remote After You've Programmed It

AUX] to set the remote to control the component.
2. PressONoOFF to turn the component ON or OFF.
3. Usethe remote buttons that apply to that component.
Note:If you keeppressingbuttons end nothing happens,the remoteisprobably in the wrong
mode.Youmust pressthe component button that matches the eomponentyou wont to
operate(i.e.,if you went to operetetheVCR,pressVCR1on the remotecontrol toput the
remotein VCRmode.)
