1-2
2. Read and comply with all caution and safety-related notes on or inside the cabinet.
3. Design Alteration Warning
— — — —
Do not alter or add to the mechanical or electrical design of this unit. Design
alterations and additions, including, but not limited to, circuit modifications and the addition of the items such
as auxiliary audio and/or video output connections might alter the safety characteristics of this TV Monitor and
create a hazard to the user. Any design alterations or additions will void the manufacturer’s warranty and will
make you, the service, responsible for personal injury or property damage resulting therefrom.
4. Observe original lead dress. Take extra care to assure correct lead dress in the following areas: a. near sharp
edges, b. near thermally hot parts
—
be sure that leads and components do not touch thermally hot parts, c. the
AC supply, d. high voltage, e. antenna wiring. Always inspect in all areas for pinched, out-of-place, or frayed
wiring. Do not change spacing between components, and between components and the printed-circuit board.
Check AC power cord for damage.
5. Components, parts, and/or wiring that appear to have overheated or are otherwise damaged should be
replaced with components, parts, or wiring that meet original specifications. Additionally, determine the cause
of overheating and/or damage and, if necessary, take corrective action to remove any potential safety hazard.
6. PRODUCT SAFETY NOTICE
—
— —
—
Many electrical and mechanical parts have special safety-related
characteristics some of which are often not evident from visual inspection, nor can the protection they give
necessarily be obtained by replacing them with components rated for higher voltage, wattage, etc. Parts that
have special safety characteristics are identified in this service data by shading with a mark on schematics
and by shading or a
＊
mark in the parts list. Use of a substitute replacement part that does not have the
same safety characteristics as the recommended replacement part in this service data parts list might create
shock, fire, and/or other hazards.
7. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV receiver, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static changes.
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 to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode.
