iMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTUONS (Continued)

if an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, 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 Nationaf Electrical Code 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

_-Z_ Caution _..f)

Precautions regarding batteries

,_ tmproper use of batteries can restJit in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion Be sure to follow the instructions befow

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (-) indications

• Different types of batteries have different characteristics Do not mix batteries of different types

• Do not mix old and new batteries Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries andlor cause old batteries to leak chemicals

• Remove batteries as soon as they are depleted Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash if chemical leakage is found, wipe it offwith a cloth

• The batteries supplied with the LCD TV set may have a shorter operating time due to storage conditions

• If the remote control is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control

= Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor

window of the main unit Objects between the remote control and

sensor window may prevent proper operation

Cautions regarding use of the remote control

.. Do not apply shock to the remote control In addition, do not

expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place it in an area

with high humidity

= Do not install or place the remote control in direct sunlight The

heat may cause deformation of the unit

,,, The remote control may net work properly if the remote sensor

window is in direct sunlight or strong lighting tn such a case, change the angle of the lighting or main unit, or operate the

remote control closer to the remote sensor window

Preparation (Continued)

,ran n n ,H,,n-

• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended

The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems

1 A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that

can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied)

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

2A 300-ohm system is a fiat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a

75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (not supplied)

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna A: Using a VHFiUHF combination outdoor' antenna

B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas

• Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to ANT (Antenna terminal) on the real of the main unit

cable to the LCD TV set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT terminal

• Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels", Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company This converteddescrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company ) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company One possible method of utilizing the converter/ descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied)

"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view atl unscrambled channels by using the TV's channel keys "B" position on the RF switch (not supplied):You can view the scrambled channels via the converterldescrambier by

• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the
