'NEC - NATIbNAL ELECTRICALCODE

$2898A

13.Outdoor Antenna gi_0Undlng-lf an ' _' ' antenna

outside or

cable system is connected to the TV/VCR, be sure the

antenna or cable 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 No. 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-dis-

charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and re-

quirements for the grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

14.Lightning-For added protection for this TVNCR 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 TVNCR due to lightning and

power-line surges.

15.Power Lines-An outside antenna system Should not be

located in the vicinity of overhead 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 touch-

ing such power lines or circuits as contact with them might

be fatal.

16.Overloading-Do 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 TVNCR through openings as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or shortout partsthat could result

in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kindon

the TVNCR.

18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR yourself

as opening orremoving covers may expose you to danger-

ous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to quali-

fied service personnel.

19.Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TVNCR from

the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the

TV/VCR.

c. If the TV/VCR has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the TV/VCR does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are

covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjust-

ment of other controls may result in damage and will often

require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore

the TVNCR to its normal operation.

e. If the TV/VCR has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When the TV/VCR exhibits a distinct change in perform-

ance-this indicates aneed for service.

20.Replacement Parts-When replacement parts arerequired,

be sure the service technician has used replacement parts

specified by the manufacturer that have the same charac-

teristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions

may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons orother

hazards.

21.Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs

to this TV/VCR, ask the service technician to perform

routine safety checks to determine that the TV/VCR is in

: proper operating condition.

22,Heat-This TVNCR product should be situated away from

heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or

other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

For safe operation and satisfactory performance of your

unit, keep the following in mind when selecting a place •

for its installation: •

• Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away from

sources of intense heat.

• Avoid dusty or humid places.

• Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper

heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes

at the top and bottom of the unit. Do not place the

unit on a carpet because this will block the ventilation

holes.

Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.

Do not pull on the power cord when disconnecting it

from an AC wall outlet. Grasp it by the plug.

If, by accident, water is spilled on your unit, unplug

the power cord immediately and take the unit to an

authorized Sears service center for servicing.

Do not put your fingers or objects into the TV/VCR

cassette holder.

Do not place anything directly on top of the unit.

• Install unit in a horizontal position.

• Avoid locations subject to strong vibration.

• Do not place the unit near strong magnetic fields.

• Do not move the unit from a cold to a hot place or

vice versa.

Moisture condensation may occur inside the unit when

it is moved from a cold place to a warm place, or after

heating a cold room or under conditions of high humid-

ity. If a tape is played in a TV/VCR which has moisture,

it may damage the tape and TV/VCR. Therefore when

the condensation occurs inside the unit turn the POWER

button on and allow at least 2 hours for the unit to dry

out.

Set the clock accurately for proper automatic timer

recording. If the Public Broadcasting Station (PBS) is

available in you area, follow "AUTO CLOCK

SETTING". If it is not, follow "MANUAL CLOCK

SETHNG".

AUTO CLOCK SETTING

You can have the TV/VCR set the clock automatically

by using the Public Broadcasting Station (PB S) channel

in your area. Once you have set the clock by using the

following procedure, the TV/VCR will automatically

monitor the correct time and date being broadcast by the

PBS station in your area, using a new service called

Extended Data Service (XDS).

Make sure ...

• Confirm that the antenna connections are correct.

• The cable converter box must be turned on if your

TV/VCR is connected directly to it. (See NOTES)

• Use the remote control for the following steps.

NOTES:

• Auto clock setting only needs to be set once, but can

be done again if the clock's time has become

incon_t for some reason.

• If the TV/VCR is connected directly to a cable

converter box, the local PBS station must be selected

on the cable box itself, and the TV/VCR must be set

to the output channel of the cable converter box

(usually channel 3 or 4), to be able to set up and

automatically correct the clock.

The TV/VCR cannot control the channels of the

cable converter box.

• the TV/VCR must search through all the available

channels. It must scan each channel for a couple of

minutes to determine if that channel is transmitting

the XDS signal, because the PBS station will send

this signal only once every minute. This search could

take up to 2 hours. You may want to start this channel

search at night when the unit is not in use.

• if the time that is automatically set by this selected

PBS station is incorrect, it may not be your local PBS

station, but one from a different time zone. Or there

is a case that no channel is broadcasting the XDS

signal in your area, as shown by no time being set

even after an overnight search. In these cases, you

must manually enter the correct local PBS station, or

set the clock manually, turning off the Auto Clock
