Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions
and instructions placed on the set, or described in the
operating instructions or service manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety
precautions should be observed in the installation, use, and
servicing of the set.Use
Use
Power Sources
This set should be operated only
from the type of power source
indicated on the serial/model
plate. If you are not sure of the 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).
Refer to the following instructions:
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 still fails to fit, contact
your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Alternate Warning
For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug
This plug will only fit into a
grounding-type power outlet.
This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to
have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not
overload wall
outlets,
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.
Do not disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a
heavy storm. Lightning may strike while you are holding
the cable or cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your TV
and wait for the weather to improve.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the set
through the cabinet slots as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the set.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer, as
they may cause hazards.
Do not place any objects, especially
heavy objects, on top of the set. The
object may fall from the set, causing
injury.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall outlet
before cleaning or polishing it. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a cloth lightly dampened with
water for cleaning the exterior of the set.
If a snapping or popping sound from a
TV set is continuous or frequent while the TV
is operating, unplug the TV and consult your
dealer or service technician. It is normal for
some TV sets to make occasional snapping or
popping sounds, particularly when being
turned on or off.
Installation
Always use two or more people to lift or move the set. The
set is heavy and the bottom surface is flat. Serious injury can
result from trying to move the set by yourself alone, or from
unsteady handling.
Install the set on a stable, level surface.
Water and Moisture
Do not use powerline operated sets
near water — for
example, near a
bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near a
swimming pool, etc.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, table, or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious
injury to a 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 TV. Any mounting of the product
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.
Connecting Additional Equipment
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 block the slots and
•
openings by placing the set on a
bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface.
•
Never place the set in a confined
space, such as a bookcase or built-in
cabinet, unless proper ventilation is
provided.
• Do not place the set near or over a
radiator or heat register, or where it is
exposed to direct sunlight.
Power-Cord Protection
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over
the power cord, and do not place the set where
the power cord is subject to wear or abuse.
Grounding or Polarization
This set may be equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than other). 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 still fails to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an 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 circuits, or where it can come in contact with such
power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING 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 protection against voltage surges 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, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode.

•
plug is damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled
into the set or objects have
fallen into the product.
• If the set has been exposed to
rain or water.
• If the set has been subject to
excessive shock by being
dropped, or the cabinet has
been damaged.
If the set does not operate
•
normally when following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are specified in the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage
and will often require extensive work
by a qualified technician to restore the
set to normal operation.
• When the set exhibits a distinct change in
performance — this indicates a need for service.
User Guide
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set
yourself since opening the cabinet may
expose you to dangerous voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician certifies
in writing that he has used
replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same
characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs
to the set, ask the service technician to
perform routine safety checks (as specified
by the manufacturer) to determine that the
set is in safe operating condition, and to so
certify. When the set reaches the end of its
useful life, improper disposal could result
in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified
service technician to dispose of the set.
