RECORD YOUR MODEL NUMBER
(Now, while you can see it)
The model and serial number of your new TV are located
on the back of the TV cabinet. For your future convenience,
we suggest that your record these numbers here:
MODEL NO.____________________________________
SERIAL NO.____________________________________
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating
and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION: To Prevent Electric Shock, Match wide blade of plug to wide slot, fully insert.
ATTENTION: Pour éviter les chocs électriques, introduire la lame la plus large de la fiche dans la borne
correspondante de la prise et pousser jusqu’au fond.

75 OHM RF CABLE The wire that comes from an off-air antenna or cable service provider. Each end looks like a hex shaped nut with a wire
sticking through the middle, and it screws onto the threaded jack on the back of your TV.
300 TO 75 OHM ADAPTER A small device that connects a two-wire 300 ohm antenna to a 75 ohm RF jack. They are usually about an
inch long with two screws on one end and a round opening with a wire sticking out on the other end.
