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 your T_

• Keep the safety and operating instructions for future I-eference.

• 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 can inci-ease the risk of fire, electric shock, oi-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.

• Do not place the TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table where it can fail. A falling TV can cause 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 manu facturer or sold with the TV_ Follow the manufacturer% instruc

tions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory rec ommended by the manufacturer. Move the FV and cart with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn.

• Provide ventilation for the TV receiver. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for yen tilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the TV receiver on a bed, sd'a, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a

radiator or heat register. If you place the FV receiver on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you've followed the manufacturer% instructions fur mount

ing.

• 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,

• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV 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.

EAFFIY 1

• 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 TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a

lightning storm or when left unattended and unused fur long periods of thne. This will pre vent damage to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.

• 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 fail 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 i-esult 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 TV[

• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the TV, 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 about 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

if"the TV has been exposed to rain or water if"the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions

if"the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged when the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance

• If you make adjustments yourself', adjust only those controls that are covered by the operat

ing instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and wiII often require exten sive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to normal.

• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses i-eplacement 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 T_/] ask the service techniciarl to

perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in a safe operating condition.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

Do not insta[] near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, or other apparatus

(including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9) 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 replace
