WWWWAAAARRRRNNNNIIIINNNNGGGG

To gu ar d against injury, the following basic safety
precautions should be observed in the installation,
use, and servici ng of the set.

UUUUsssseeee

Power Sources

This set should be operated
only from the type of power
source indicated o n the
serial/model plate.
If you are not sure of th e

type of electrical power
supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local
power company. For those sets designed to operate
from battery power, refer to the operating
instructions.

Grounding or Polarization

This set is equipped with a polarized AC power
cord plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other), or with a three-wire grounding type plug (a
plug having a third pin for grounding).
Follow the instruction s below:

For the set with a
polarized AC power
cord plug

This plug will fit 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 fit, contact
your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the saf et y purpose of the polarized
plug by forcing it in.

Alternate Warning

three-wire grounding
type AC plug

This plug will only fit into a grounding-ty pe power
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the p lug into the outlet, c ontact you r
electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do
not defeat the safet y purpose of the groundi ng

Overloading

Do not overload w all ou tlets,
extension cords or
convenience receptacles
beyond their capacity, since
this can result in fire or
electric shock.

Always turn the set off when
it is not to be used. When the
set is left unattended and
unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall
outlet as a precaution against

the possibility of an internal malfunction that
could create a fire hazard.

Object and Liquid
Entry

Never push objects of any
kind into the set through the
cabinet slots as they may
touch dangerous volta ge
points or short out parts that
could resu lt in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the se t.

Attachments

Do not use attachments not
recommended by th e
manufacturer, as they may
cause hazards.

Cleaning

Unplug the set from the wall

child or an adult, and serious
damage to the set. Use only a
cart or stand recommended
by the manufacturer for the
specific model of projection
TV.

An appliance an d cart
combination should be
moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and
uneven surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.

Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the
back or bottom are provided for necessary
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set,
and to protect it from overheating, these slots and
openings must never be blocked or covered.

- Never cover the slots and
openings with a cloth or
other materials.

- Never bl ock the slots and
openings by placing the set

Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding

outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions
below.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circu i ts , or w he re it can
come in contact with such power lines or circuits.

WHEN INS TALL ING AN OUTDOOR
ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE
SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR
CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS
ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to
provide some prot ectio n agai nst v oltage surg es and
built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC)
in USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical
Code in Canada 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, loc at i on of antenna discharge uni t ,
connectio n t o grounding electrodes , and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
