THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT DANGEROUS VOLTAGE CONSTITUT­ING A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT.
THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERAT­ING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUC­TIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE.
VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar sur­face. This TV should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufactur­er’s instructions have been adhered to.
only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For TVs intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the oper­ating instructions.
equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug(a plug having one blade wider than the 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 your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, con­venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
side antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, 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. (Fig. A)
14. LIGHTNING - For added protection for this TV
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 or cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should
not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or cir­cuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and
extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. OBJECTAND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push
objects of any kind into this TV through openings 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 TV. SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this TV
18. yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE - Unplug this TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or
frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the TV. c. If the TV has been exposed to rain or water. d. If the TV does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions, as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified techni-
cian to restore the TV to its normal operation. e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way. f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance,
this indicates a need for service.
REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement parts
20. are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards.
21. SAFETY CHECK - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to per­form routine safety checks to determine that the TV is in proper operating condition.
22. HEAT - This TV product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
FCC WARNING - This equipment may generate or use radio frequency energy. Changes or modifications to this equip­ment may cause harmful interference unless the modifications are expressly approved in the instruction manual. The user could lose the authority to operate this equipment if an unautho­rized change or modification is made.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be con­nected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
