. pe of power source indicated on the
jrial/model plate. If you are not sure of
\e type of electrical power supplied to
our home, consult your dealer or local power company,
or those sets designed to operate from battery power,
-‘fer to the operating instructions,
irounding or Polarization
his set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug
1 plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a
iree-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin
>r grounding).
ollow the instructions below:
or the set with a polarized AC
*ower cord plug
his plug will fit into the power outlet only
ne way. This is a safety feature. If you are
nable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
le plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your
lectridan to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat
le 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 groundingtype 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.
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 your
dealer or seirice technician. It is normal for
some TV sets to make occasional snapping or
popping sounds, particularly when being
turned on or off.
Installation
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, 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.
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 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.
L
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
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
CONTACHNG SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the anteima 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,
cormection 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.

Lightning
For added protection for this television receiver during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, implug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the
receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.
Service
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power cord or plug is
damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled into the set.
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.
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.
