To c,,_u_c that plctmc ,_clccn pcrlormancc is of the highest quality, avoid rubbing any object t)l material on tile sclccn that could scJatcl_ or damage its surface. When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive). Please see the directions in the Cleaning and Care section of this manual for further details.

CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or TV information channel) which shows a constant non-moving pattern on the TV screen, can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source the pattern of the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the video

source OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

If an outside antenna is connected to the television receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70-1975, 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 antenna-discharge unit,

connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements

for the grounding electrode.

NOTE: It is essential that any TV signal lines that are to enter the home be grounded at the exact same point as the power service grounding. This applies regardless of any other grounding to those systems.

NOTE to CATV System Installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system

installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as

close to the point of cable entry as practical.
