ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
COMBINATION VHF/UHF ANTENNA
(Single 75 ohm cable or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)
Connect the 75 ohm cable from combination VHF/UHF antenna to the antenna jack.
If your combination antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire, use the 300-75 ohm
matching transformer (not included).
To prevent problems it is recommended that you
use only the specified transformer. (Transformer

these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally
provided by the cable company. Below are illustrations for connection of these types of converter/
descrambler devices with the TV's VHF antenna jack.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. Read instructions - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the TV is
operated.
2. Retain Instructions - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference
3. Heed Warnings - All warnings on the TV and in the operating 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.
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 example, 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 unstable cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table. The TV may fall, causing serious injury to someone
and serious damage to the TV. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the
TV.
Any mounting of the TV should follow the manufacturer's instructions,
MODEL NO.______________
and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
9. The TV and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the TV and cart combination to
overturn.
10 Ventilation - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating, and 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 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.
11. 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 TV dealer
or local power company. For TVs intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to
the operating instructions.
12. Grounding or Polarization - This TV may be equipped with a polarized alternatingcurrent 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.
13. 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 TV.
14. 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 voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regard 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-

15. Lightning - For added protection for this TV 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 lighting and power-line surges.
16. 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 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.
17. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles
as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this TV through openings 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 TV.
19. Servicing - Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening and removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
20. Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
a) When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV.
c) If the TV has been exposed to rain or water.
d) If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the TV to its normal operation.
e) If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f) When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.
21. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has
used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the
original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
22. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in proper operating condition.
23. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The TV should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended
by the manufacturer.
24. Heat - The TV should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
