DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol,
within an equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's
enclosure that may be of a sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to a
person.
The exclamation point within an equilateral
triangle, is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

CAUTION
DO NOT OPEN
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
15. Televisions are designed to comply with the
recommended safety standards for tilt and stability.
Do not apply excessive pulling force to the front, or
top, of the cabinet which could cause the product to
overturn resulting in product damage and/or personal
injury.
16. Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as
recommended by the manufacturer.
17. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical
circuits.
18. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver
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
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides
information with respect to proper grounding for the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the
lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
NEC National Electric Code
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is
provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to
Article 820-44 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.
