Important Safeguards

For your 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 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 IJ(-_'_------_
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 service
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. _p

• Nevercovertheslotsandopeningswitha

Power-Cord Protection

Do not allow anything to rest on or roll I_l

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.

WITHTHEMISALMOSTINVARIABLYFATAL.

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.

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, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to
the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.
