IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Read before operating equipment
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.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install
in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radia-
tors, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug.A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other.A grounding
type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong.The wide blade or third prong are provided
for your safety.When the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician for replace-
ment of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience recepta-
cles, and the point where they exit from the appara-
tus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. 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 any 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 nor-
mally, or has been dropped.
15. This product may contain lead and mercury.
Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to
environmental considerations. For disposal or recy-
cling information, please contact your local authori-

16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance
should be serviced by qualified service personnel
when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been dam-
aged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into
the appliance; 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 international global safety standards
for tilt and stability properties of its cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by
applying excessive pull force to the front, or top, of
the cabinet which could ultimately overturn the
product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by plac-
ing electronic equipment/toys on the top of the cab-
inet. Such items could unsuspectingly fall from the
top of the set and cause product damage and/or
personal injury.
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should
be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommend-
ed by the manufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna 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 information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and sup-
porting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding connec-
tors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Figure below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken
so that objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled
into the enclosure through openings.
22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery
leakage that may result in bodily injury, property
damage, or damage to the unit:
• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as
marked on the unit.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and
alkaline, etc.).
• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a
long time.
