Important Safety Information

Important Safety Information (continued)

●

Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this set is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.

●

Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won’t be walked on or pinched by objects 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 set 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.

●

Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

●

Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set.

●

Do not attempt to service the set yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug the set 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 the unit or if objects have fallen into the set

if the set has been exposed to rain or water

if the set does not operate normally by following the operating instructions

if the set has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged

when the set 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 set 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 set.

●

Upon completion of any service or repairs to this set, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the set is in a safe operating condition.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful

interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
