Important Safeguards
For your protection, please read these instructions
completely, and keep this manual for future reference.
Carefullyobserveand comply with all warnings, cautions
and instl"uctionsplaced on the set, ordescribed in the
operating iust1"uctlonsor service manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety
precautions should be observed in the installation, use,
and servicing of the set.
Use
Power Sources
This set should be operated only from the _
4
type of power source indicated on the L" _
serial/model plate. If you are not sure of _-_==_
the type of electrical power supplied to
your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
For those sets designed to operate from battery power,
refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a
three-wire grounding type plug _ plug having a third pin
for grounding).
Follow the instructions below:
For the set with a polarized AC
power cord plug _/_-_-_==:
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 fail to fit,contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Alternate Warning
For the set with a three-wire
grounding type AC plug
This plug wiU only fit into a grounding-
type power outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords II
or convenience receptacles beyond their ][
capacity, since this can result in fire or ]_
electric shock. _ -'_
Always turn the set off when it is not to /"w--,
be used. When the set is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet as a
precaution against the possibility of an
internal malfunction that could create a fire hazard.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the
set through the cabinet slots as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the set.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended
by the manufacturer, as they may cause
hazards.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before
cleaning or Polishing it. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth
lightly dampened with water for cleaning
the exterior of the set. Ifa snapping or popping sound from a
TV set is continuous or frequent while the TV *,2-.,r-
is operating, unplug the TV and consult your
dealer or service technician. Itis normal for .
some TV sets to make occasional snapping or
popping sounds, particularly when being
turned on or off.
Installation
Water and Moisture
DO not use Power-line operated sets near
water -- for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool, etc.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, _, /'gJ/"
stand,tableorshelf.The setmay fall, '_._/.=_/
causing serious injury to a child or an _=_.v
adult, end serious damage to the set. Use _\_._ _4_
only a cart or stand recommended by the C._ ,--x_
manufacturer for the specific model of TV.
An appliance and cart combination should
be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
Ventilation ....
The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or
bottom are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure
reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from
overheating, these slots and openings must
never be blocked or covered. _. j.
• Never cover the slots and openings with a _ _-_r
cloth or other materials.
• Never block the slotsand openings by
placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or
other similar surface.
Important Safeguards (continued)
• Never place the set in a confined space,
suchasa bookcase,or built-in cabinet,
unlessproper ventilation isprovided.
• Do not place the set near or over a radiator _.
or heat register, or where it isexposed to _,_ _'_-
direct sunlight
Power-Cord Protection
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over [_l[ [
the power cord, and do not place the set ]_.._JJ[
where the power cord is subject to wear or _
abuse.
Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions
below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such
power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREMECARESHOULD BETAKEN TO KEEPFROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES ORCIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOSTINVARIABLY FATAL.
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 Electrical Code (NEC) in
USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in
Canada 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.
ii
Antenna Grounding According to the NEC
Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for
Antenna Grounding.

Lightning
For added protection for this television 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. This will prevent damage to the
receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.
Service
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
• When the power cord or plug is
damaged or frayed. _.. '_m'_w-
• If liquid has been spilled into the set.

• If the set does not operate normally
when following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are specified in the operating
instructions. Improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and
will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the set to normal operation.
• When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance
-- this indicatesa need for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to servicethe setyourself
sinceopening the cabinet may expose you to
dangerousvoltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified servicepersonnel.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same
characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs
to the set, ask the service technician to
perform routine safety checks (as specified
by the manufacturer) to determine that the
set is in safe operating condition, and to so k/
