added protection for this "IV 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.

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 touch-
ing such power lines or circuits as contact with them might
be fatal.

not overload
wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind into
this TV through openings
as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or shortout parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.

not attempt to service this TV yourself
as
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
