IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION: PLEASE ADHERE TO ALL WARNINGS ON THE PRODUCT AND IN THE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. BEFORE
OPERATING THE PRODUCT, PLEASE READ ALL OF THE SAFETY AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS. RETAIN THIS
LITERATURE FOR REFERENCE. Follow all instructions...
Positioning the appliance
1. Do not place your appliance on an unstable cart, stand, shelf or table.
Serious injury to an individual, and damage to the appliance, may result
if it should fall. Your salesperson can recommend
approved carts and stands or shelf and wall mounting
instructions. 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.
2. Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are
provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the appliance
and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked
or covered. The openings should never be covered with a cloth or other
material, and the bottom openings should not be blocked by placing the
unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This appliance should
never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This appliance
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless
proper ventilation is provided.
3. Do not expose the appliance to rain or use near water . . . for example,
near a bathtub, swimming pool, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, etc.

"Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40
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."
4. 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. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect 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 discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.

THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT DANGEROUS VOLTAGE CONSTITUTING
A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT.
THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING
AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANY-
ING THIS UNIT.
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of over-
head 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.
Plug in the power cord
5. The design of many appliances does not require a polarized AC line
plug (one blade wider than the other). However, if your appliance is
equipped with a polarized AC line plug, it is a safety feature which
prevents the plug being inserted incorrectly. If you have
difficulty inserting the plug, try reversing it. If the plug
still does not fit fully into the outlet, contact your electri-
cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of this polarized plug.
6. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate the
appliance where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.
Cleaning
7. Before cleaning, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Do not apply
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners directly to the unit. Use a dry cloth
for cleaning.
Service & Repair
8. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
A. If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
B. If liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
D. If the appliance has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
E. If the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance.
F. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operat-
ing instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered in the
operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the appliance to normal operation.
9. Upon completion of any service or repair, request the service techni-
cian's assurance that only Factory Authorized Replacement Parts that
have the same characteristics as the original parts were used, and that
routine safety checks have been performed to determine that the appli-
ance is in safe operating condition. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.
10. Never add accessories that have not been specifically designed for use
with this appliance.
11. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the set is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the set
due to lightning or power line surges.
