into this TV as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Avoid spilling liquid of any kind onto the
TV.

English
10) Power Sources — This TV should be operated only from the type of power
sources indicated on the electrical nameplate. If you are not sure of the type of
power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company. For TV’s intended to operate on battery power or other sources,
refer to the operation instructions.
11) Grounding or Polarization — This TV is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). 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
should still fails to fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
12) Power Cord Protection — Power supply cords should be routed so that they
are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against
them. Pay particular attention to cords or plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the appliance.
13) Overloading — DO NOT overload wall outlets and extension cords as this
may result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
14) Power Lines — An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines, electric lights and 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 avoid touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them may be fatal.
15) Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an
outside antenna or cable system is
grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built-up static
charges, follow Article 810 of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70, which
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
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. (Fig. A)
16) Lightning Precaution — For added protection for the TV receiver during a
lightning storm or when it is left unattended for extended periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to the TV due to lightning and power line surges.
17) Modifications — Any changes or modifications to this product that are not
expressly approved by the Federal Communications Commission could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
18) Servicing — Do not attempt to service the TV by yourself, as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage and other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
