Important Safety Information
Always be careful when using your TV receiver. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and
maintaining your machine.
•Read all safety and operating instructions before operating the TV receiver.
•Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
•Heed all warnings on the TV receiver and in the operating instructions.
•Follow all operating and use instructions.
•Unplug the TV receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
•Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions may result in the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.
•Do not use the TV receiver where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.
•Provide ventilation for the TV receiver. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the TV receiver on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Information, continued
•Do not place the TV receiver on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV receiver may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the TV receiver. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions
when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the TV receiver and its cart with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit and cart to overturn.
•Operate your TV receiver only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
•Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
•Unplug the TV receiver from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
Save These Instructions
•Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.
•Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
•Do not insert foreign objects through openings in the unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV receiver.
• Ground outdoor antennas. If an
outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV
receiver, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section
810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984,
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 anten- na-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ii.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Information, continued
•Do not attempt to service the TV receiver yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
-when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged
-if liquid has been spilled on or objects have fallen into the unit
-if the TV receiver has been exposed to rain or water
-if the TV receiver does not operate normally by following the operating instructions
-if the TV receiver has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
-when the TV receiver exhibits a distinct change in performance
If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV receiver to normal.
•When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.
•Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV receiver, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the TV receiver is in a safe operating condition.
