CAUTION

When using TV games, computers, and similar products with your TV, keep the brightness

and contrast functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen

for long periods of time at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be permanently imprinted onto the screen. Continuously watching the same channel can cause the imprint of station logos onto the TV screen. These types of imprints are not covered by your warranty because they are the results of misuse.

grounding-

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.

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.

Attachments

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

Water and Moisture

Do not use power-line 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.

Disconnect all cables and cords from the

set before attempting to move the set.

Do not allow children or pets to climb up

onto, or push against, the set. The set may

fall, causing serious injury.

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.

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 should still fail to fit, contact you 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.

Antenna Grounding According to the NEC

Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for Antenna Grounding.

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.

oiplug

When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

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.
