specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the app-
'w__\.Jw aratus When a cart is used use caution when moving,
the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in arty way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate uormally, or has
been dropped.
15. This product may contaiu lead and mercury. Disposal of these

16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced
by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled irrto tire appli-
ance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended
irrternational global safety standards for tilt arrd stability properties
of its cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying exces-
sive pull force to the t}ont, or top, of the cabinet which could ulti-
mately overturn the product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electron-
ic equipmeut/toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could
unsuspectingly fall from tile top of tire set arrd cause product dana-
age arrd/or personal irrjury.
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to
a wall or ceiling only as recommeuded by the manufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor arrtenna should be located away from
power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - 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.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-
1984, provides irrl_rmation with respect to proper grounding of
the mast arrd supporting structure, grounding of tile lead-in wire to
an arrtenna discharge unit, size of grounding conuectors, location
of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, arrd
requiremeuts for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall arrd liquids are not spilled irrto the enclosure through
openings,
a) Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this appa-
ratus should not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled
with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.
22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that may
result in bodily irrjury, property damage, or damage to the unit:
• Install all batteries correctly, with + arrd - aligned as marked on
the unit.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon arrd alkaline, etc.).
• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.
Note to the 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. ]
