Important Safeguards

1. READ INSTRUCTIONS - All the safety and operating instructions

should be read before the appliance is operated.

2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions

should be retained for future reference.

3. HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the appliance and in the

operating instructions should be adhered to.

4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use instructions

should be followed.

5. CLEANING - Unplug TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do

not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and,
that for some speci c reason, such as the possibility of the loss
of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to
be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may
exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning
description otherwise required in item 5.

6. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by

the TV manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7. WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use this TV near water, for

example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

8. ACCESSORIES - Do not place this TV on

an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table. The TV may fall, causing serious injury
to someone, 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.
Any mounting of the appliance should
follow the manufacturer’s instructions
and should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart
combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.

9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back

or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating, these
openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. This TV should never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This TV should not be placed in a built-in
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is
provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

10. POWER SOURCES - This TV should be operated only from the type

of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company. For TVs intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This TV is equipped with a

polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will  t into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to  t, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the appliance.

13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - 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. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, 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. (Fig. A)

14. LIGHTNING - For added protection for this TV receiver during a

lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due
to lightning and power-line surges.

15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located

in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.

16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and extension

cords as this can result in a risk of  re or electric shock.

17. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects of any kind into

this TV through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a  re or electric shock.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.

18. SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening

or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to quali ed service personnel.

19. DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug this TV from the wall

outlet and refer servicing to quali ed service personnel under the

following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV.
c. If the TV has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating

instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by
the operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a quali ed technician to restore the TV to its normal

operation.
e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance, this

indicates a need for service.

20. REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement parts are required, be

sure the service technician uses replacement parts speci ed by
the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original
part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in  re, electric shock,
injury to persons or other hazards.

21. SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this

TV, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to
determine that the TV is in proper operating condition.

22. HEAT - This TV product should be situated away from heat

sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products
(including ampli ers) that produce heat.
