IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
1. READ INSTRUCTIONS  
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION  
All the safety and operating instructions should be read  
before the unit is operated.  
This unit is equipped with a polarized alternating current  
line plug (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, Instead of the polarized alternating-current line plug,  
your unit may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type  
plug (a plug having a third grounding pin). This plug will  
only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This too, is a  
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the  
outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete  
outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the  
grounding-type plug.  
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS  
The safety and operating instructions should be retained  
for future reference.

All warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions  
should be adhered to.

All operating and use instructions should be followed.  
5. CLEANING  
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not  
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.  
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION  
6. ATTACHMENTS  
Power-supply 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.  
The manufacturer of this unit does not make any  
recommendations for attachments, as they may cause  
hazards.

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 onto or against such  
power lies 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.  
An appliance and cart  
combination should be moved  
with care. Quick stops,  
excessive force, and uneven  
surfaces may cause the

unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's  
instructions have been adhered to.

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

THE CAUSES OF INTERFERENCE  
Incorporated in your TV set is the most up-to-date technology to eliminate  
interference. Local radiation however, can create disturbances which in turn, can  
noticeably affect the picture. Proper installation and a good antenna are your best  
safeguards against these disturbances.  
Interference  
Moving ripples across the screen are caused by nearby transmitting or receiving shortwave radio  
equipment.  
Diathermy  
Herringbone pattern and partial picture loss can result from the operation of diathermy equipment  
from a nearby medical center or hospital.  
Snow  
Weak TV signals from long distant stations result in an unsteady picture and give the effect of  
falling snow. An antenna adjustment or antenna amplifier may be needed.  
Ghost  
Multiple images caused by TV signals reflected back from surrounding buildings, hills, aircraft, etc.  
are minimized by proper antenna positioning.  
Car Ignition  
Nearby cars and electrical motors can cause small streaks across the picture or make the picture  
roll.
