Important Safeguards

For vour protection, please read these instructions completely, and keep this manual for future reference.

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 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). Follow the instructions 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 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 onlv fit into a grounding-type jx)wer 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.

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.

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 vour dealer or service technician. It is normal for .ч>те T\' sets to make tKcasional snapping or ptipptng si>unds, particularlv when lining turned on or off.

Installation Water and Moisture :V:

Do not use power-line operated sets L. near water — for example, near a ^ bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming рсю1, etc.

Accessories

Do not place the set on an unstable cart, ‘ stand, 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 bv the manufacturer for the specific model of TV. 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.

Ventilation

The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back cc bottom are provided for necessary ventilation. To erv?uj-e 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.

Important Safeguards (continued)

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.

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 pow’er circuits, or where it can come in contact with such pow'er lines or circuits.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,

EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTAaiNG 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.

Aittonna Grounding According to the NEC Refer to section 54-3tXI of Canadian EUvtrical CXhIc for Antenna Grounding.
