power company. For those sets
designed to operate from battery
power, refer to the operating instructions.

three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin
for grounding).
Refer to the following instructions:

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 still fails to fit, contact
your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Alternate Warning
For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug

unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to
have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the grounding plug.
Overloading

beyond their
capacity, since this can result in fire or electric shock.
Always turn the set off when it is not to be used. When the

unplug it from the wall outlet as a precaution against the
possibility of an internal malfunction that could create a fire
hazard.

heavy storm. Lightning may strike while you are holding
the cable or cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your TV
and wait for the weather to improve.

electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the set.

popping sounds, particularly when being
turned on or off.
Installation
