deterioration of the TV's performance. If the set will be  
subjected to these conditions, steps should be taken to  
reduce the humidity and temperature of the area where the  
TV is located.  
WARNING  
To guard against injury, the following basic safety  
precautions should be observed in the installation, use, and  
servicing of the set.  
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.  
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.  
Attachments  
Do not use attachments not recommended  
by the manufacturer, as they may cause  
hazards.  
Do not place any objects, especially heavy  
objects, on top of the set. The object may  
fall from the set, causing injury.  
Grounding or Polarization  
Cleaning  
This set may be equipped with a polarized alternating current  
line plug (a plug having one blade wider than 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 still fails to fit, contact  
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat  
the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
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.  
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.  
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 still fails 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.  
Installation  
Always use two or more people to lift or move the set. The  
set is heavy and the bottom surface is flat. Serious injury can  
result from trying to move the set by yourself alone, or from  
unsteady handling.  
Alternate Warning  
For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug  
Install the set on a stable, level surface.  
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.

Connecting Additional Equipment  
Ventilation  
Lightning  
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.  
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.  
Never cover the slots and openings  
with a cloth or other materials.  
Service  
Damage Requiring Service  
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to  
qualified service personnel under the following conditions:  
Never block the slots and openings  
by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug  
or other similar surface.  
When the power cord or plug  
is damaged or frayed.  
Never place the set in a confined  
space, such as a bookcase or built-in  
cabinet, unless proper ventilation is  
provided.  
If liquid has been spilled  
into the set or objects have  
fallen into the product.  
Do not place the set near or over a  
radiator or heat register, or where it is  
exposed to direct sunlight.  
If the set has been exposed to  
rain or water.  
Power-Cord Protection  
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.  
If the set has been subject to  
excessive shock by being  
dropped, or the cabinet has  
been damaged.  
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.  
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 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.  
When the set exhibits a distinct change in  
performance — this indicates a need for service.  
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.  
Servicing  
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.  
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
