Important Safeguards
For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and
keep this manual for future reference.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and
instructions placed on the set, or described in the operating
instructions or service manual.
WARNING
Cleaning
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions
should be observed in the installation, use, and servicing of the set.
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before
cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use
Power Sources
This set should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the 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.
Use a cloth lightly dampened with water for
cleaning the exterior of the set. If a snapping or
popping sound from a TV set is continuous or
frequent while the TV is operating, unplug the TV
and consult your dealer or service technician. It is
normal for some TV sets to make occasional
snapping or popping sounds, particularly when
being turned on or off.
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 (a plug having a third pin for
grounding).Follow the instructions below:
Installation
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated sets near
water — for example, near a bathtub,
For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug
washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
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.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand,
table or shelf. The set may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage
to the set. Use only a cart or stand recommended
by the 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.
Alternate Warning
For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug
This plug will 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.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the
back or bottom are provided for necessary
Overloading
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to protect it
from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked
or covered.
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or electric shock.
❑
Never cover the slots and openings with a
cloth or other materials.
Always turn the set off when it is not to 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.
❑
Never block the slots and openings by
placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface.
❑
❑
Never place the set in a confined space, such
as a bookcase, or built-in cabinet, unless
proper ventilation is provided.
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.
Do not place the set near or over a radiator
or heat register, or where it is exposed to
direct sunlight.

Power-Cord Protection
Service
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the
power cord, and do not place the set where the
power cord is subject to wear or abuse.
Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
Antennas
❑
❑
❑
❑
When the power cord or plug
is damaged or frayed.
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.
If liquid has been spilled into
the set.
If the set has been exposed to
rain or water.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY 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.
If the set has been subject to
excessive shock by being
dropped, or the cabinet has
been damaged.
❑
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.
Antenna Grounding According to the NEC
Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for Antenna
Grounding.
❑
When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance — this
indicates a need for service.
Antenna lead-in wire
Servicing
Ground clamp

Do not attempt to service the set yourself since
opening the cabinet may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to
qualified service personnel.

equipment
Replacement Parts
Antenna lead-in wire
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.
Power service grounding electrode
NEC: National Electrical Code
system (NEC Art 250 Part H)
Lightning
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
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.
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 certify. When the set reaches
the end of its useful life, improper disposal could
result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified
service technician to dispose of the set.
