Important Safeguards

1. READ INSTRUCTIONS - All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the appliance and in the oper-
ating instructions should be adhered to.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. CLEANING - Unplug TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do
not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for
cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and,
that for some specifi c reason, such as the possibility of the loss
of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to
be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may
exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning
description otherwise required in item 5.
6. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by
the TV manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use this TV near water, for ex-
ample, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in
a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
8. ACCESSORIES - Do not place this TV on an un-
stable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The
TV may fall, causing serious injury to someone,
and serious damage to the appliance. Use
only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold
with the TV.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow
the manufacturer's instructions and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. An
appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appli-
ance and cart combination to overturn.
AMEUBLES - Cet appareil ne doit être placé
que sur un meuble (avec ou sans roulettes) re-
commandé par le fabricant. Si vous l'installez
sur un meuble à roulettes, déplacez les deux
ensembles avec précaution. Un arrêt brusque,
l'utilisation d'une force excessive et des
surfaces irrégulières risquent de déstabiliser l'
ensemble et de le renverser.
9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or
bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable opera-
tion of the TV and to protect it from overheating, these openings
must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be
blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This TV should never be placed near or over a radiator or
heat register. This TV should not be placed in a built-in installation
such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or
the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCES - This TV should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company. For TVs intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT.
THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE
IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANY-
ING THE APPLIANCE.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This TV is equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fi t 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 fi t, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION - 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.
13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against volt-
age surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting struc-
ture, 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. (Fig. A)

14. LIGHTNING - For added protection for this TV 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 or cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due
to lightning and power-line surges.
15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines 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.
16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fi re or electric shock.
