Important Safeguards
13
An outside antenna system should not be
located in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or cir-
cuits. When installing an outside antenna sys-
tem, extreme care should be taken to keep
from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
14
Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in fire or electric
shock.
15
Never push objects of any kind into this tele-
vision equipment through openings 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 television equipment.
16
Do not attempt to service this television equip-
ment yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified ser-
vice personnel.
17
Unplug this television equipment from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified ser-
vice personnel under the following conditions:
(a) When the power-supply cord or plug is
damaged or frayed.
(b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into the television equipment.
(c) If the television equipment has been
exposed to rain or water.
(d) If the television equipment does not oper-
ate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that
are covered by the operating instructions as
an improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the TV receiver to its normal opera-
tion.
(e) If the television equipment has been
dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
(f) When the television equipment exhibits a
distinct change in performance - this indi-
cates a need for service.
18
When replacement parts are required, be sure
the service technician has used replacement
parts specified by the manufacturer that have
the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock or other hazards.
19
Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this television equipment, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to deter-
mine that the television is in a safe operating
condition.
20
If an outside antenna or cable system is con-
nected to the television receiver, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to
provided some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges.
