Precautions regarding batteries
Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion Be sure to lol_ow the instructions below
* Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (-) indications
- Different types of batteries have different characteristics DO not mix batteries of different types
" Do not mix otd and new batteries Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old
batteries to leak chemicals
* Remove batteries as soon as they are depteted Chemicals that leak from baltedee can cause a rash if chemical
leakage is Iound, wipe it oft with a cloth
The batlertes supplied with the LCD TV set may have a shorter operating time due to storage conditions
If the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control

Connection
The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than these forblack & white lelevia[on
reception For th}a reason, a good quality ouldoor antenna ts strongly recommended
The following is a brieI exptanatien of the type o! connections that are p_'owided with the various antenna systems
1 A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily
be attached to a te_'minalwithout lools (not eupp!ied)
2 A 300-ohm eyslern is a fiat "twin4ead" ceb}e that can be attached to a 75-ohm

(The breaking of internal circuit, etc )
J
A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup When connecting the 75-ohm Coaxial cable
to the set, screw the 75*ohm cable to the ANT terminal
. Some cable TV companies alter "premium pay channels" Since the signals of these premium pay channels are
scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company
This converter/descrambter is necessary tar normal viewing of the scrambled channeJs (Set your TV to channe_ 3
or 4, typically one of these channels is used it"this is unknown, consult your cable TV company ) For more
specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the
conver_er/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below
Please note'_An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied)
_A"position on the RF switch (not supplled): You can v_ew all unscrambfed channels by using the TV's channel keys
