13. LIGHTNING  
To protect your unit 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 unit due to lightning and power line  
surges.  
14. POWER LINES  
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, or other electric light or 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.  
15. OVERLOADING  
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.  
16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY  
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could  
result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.  
17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to  
provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/  
NFPA 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.  
18. SERVICING  
Do not attempt to service this unit 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 unit 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.  
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the unit.  
c . If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by  
the operatingin structions, as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive  
work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to its normal operation.  
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.  
f . When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.  
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS  
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or  
those that have the same characteristics as the original part.  
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.  
21. SAFETY CHECK  
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the  
unit is in proper operating condition.  
22. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING  
The product should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.  
23. HEAT  
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including  
amplifiers) that produce heat.  
24. 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.

CLOSED CAPTION  
WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?  
Text: The Text Closed Caption Mode will usually fill 1/2 of full  
This television has the capability to decode and display Closed screen with a programming schedule or other information. After  
Captioned television programs. Closed Captioning will display selecting a Closed Caption Mode, it will stay in effect until it is  
text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate changed, even if the channel is changed. If the Captions signal  
and display text in another language.  
is lost due to a commercial or a break in the signal, the  
Captions will reappear when the signal is received again. If the  
channels are changed, the Captions will be delayed  
approximately 10 seconds.  
TO VIEW CLOSED CAPTIONS  
Press the TV/CAP/TEXT button on the remote control to switch  
between normal TV and the two Closed Caption Modes  
(Captions and 1/2 of Full Screen Text).  
The Captions will appear in places on the screen where they  
will least interfere with the picture, usually on the bottom of the  
screen. News programs will usually show three-line Closed  
Captions which scroll onto the screen. Most other shows  
provide two or three lined Captions placed near the character  
who is speaking so the viewer can follow the dialogue. Words in  
italics or underlined describe titles, words in foreign languages  
or words requiring emphasis. Words that are sung usually  
appear enclosed by musical notes. For television programs  
broadcasting with Closed Captions, look in your TV guide for  
the Closed Captions symbol (CC).  
Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the  
screen in English or another language (depending on the  
setting of the Closed Captions CH. 1/2 button). Generally,  
Closed Captions in English are transmitted on Captions  
Channel 1 and Closed Captions in other languages are  
transmitted on Captions Channel 2.  
• When activating the Closed Captioned Decoder, there will be a short delay before the Closed Captioned text appears on the  
screen.  
• Closed Captioned text is only displayed in locations where it is available.  
• If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.  
• Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed Captioning,  
especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not  
allow time for editing.  
• When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may not be seen or may interfere with Closed  
Captions.  
• Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.  
• If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear with  
strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.
