IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION:
Please read and retain for your safety.
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This TV set has been engi-
neered and manufactured to assure your personal safety. But improper use can
result in potential electrical shock or fire hazards! In order not to defeat the safe-
guards incorporated in this TV set, observe the following basic rules for its installa-
tion, use and servicing.
And also follow all warnings and instructions marked on your TV set.
INSTALLATION
1 Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one blade of the plug is
wider than the other).
This safety feature allows the plug to fit into the power outlet only one way. Should
you be unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
Should it still fail to fit, contact your electrician.
2 Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer
to the operating instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply to your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power company.
For battery operation, refer to the operating instructions.
3 Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed
power cords and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard.Call your
service technician for replacement.
4 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the
TV set where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock
or fire hazard.
5 Do not use this TV set near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.
6 If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, 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 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 requirements for the grounding
electrode.
