and wait for the weather to improve.
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.
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
Attachments
Use
Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer, as
they may cause hazards.
Do not place any objects, especially
heavy objects, on top of the set. The
object may fall from the set, causing
injury.
Power Sources
This set should be operated only
from the type of power source
indicated on the serial/model

three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin
for grounding).
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.

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.
