Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions  
and instructions placed on the set, or described in the  
operating instructions or service manual.  
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.  
WARNING  
To guard against injury, the following basic safety  
precautions should be observed in the installation, use, and  
servicing of the set.Use

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.  
Do not place the set near or over a  
radiator or heat register, or where it is  
exposed to direct sunlight.  
Power-Cord Protection  
Service  
Damage Requiring Service  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to  
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:  
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.  
Grounding or Polarization  
This set may be equipped with a polarized  
alternating current line plug (a plug  
having one blade wider than 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 still fails to fit, contact your  
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the  
safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
When the power cord or  
plug is damaged or frayed.  
If liquid has been spilled  
into the set or objects have  
fallen into the product.  
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.  
If the set has been exposed to  
rain or water.  
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA  
SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP  
FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR  
CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST  
INVARIABLY FATAL.  
If the set has been subject to  
excessive shock by being  
dropped, or the cabinet has  
been damaged.  
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.  
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.

User Guide  
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.
