FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY
1. This television set is 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.
2. When the power cord or plug is damaged
or
frayed, unplug this television set from the wall
outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel.
3. Do not overload wall outlets
and extension
cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.
4. DO not allow anything to rest on or roll over the
power cord, and do not place the TV where the
power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This
may result in a shock or fire hazard.
5. Do not attempt to service this television set
yourself
as opening or removing
covers may
expose you to dangerous voltage or other haz-
ards. Refer all servicing
to qualified
service
personnel.
6. Never push objects of any kind into this televi-
sion set through 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
television set.
It the television set has been dropped
or the
cabinet has been damaged,
unplug this tele-
vision set from the wall outlet and refer ser-
vicing to qualified service personnel.
If liquid has been spilled into this television
set, unplug it from the wall outlet and refer
service to qualified service personnel.
9.
DO not subject your television set to impact of
any kind.
Be careful not to damage the pic-
ture tube surface.

before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners.
Use a damp cloth for
cleaning.
11-1. Do not place this television set on an unsta-
ble cart, stand, or table.
The television set
may fall, causing serious injury to a child or
an adult, and serious damage to the appli-
ance. Use only with a cart or stand recom-
mended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
television set. Wall or shelf mounting
should
follow the manufacturer's
instructions,
and
should
use a mounting
kit approved by the
manufacturer.
11-2. An appliance and cart combination should be
moved
with care.
Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination
to overturn.
