WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not expose the TV to
rain or moisture.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the appliance.
CAUTION
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF
PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT.
CAUTION
When using TV games, computers, and similar products with your
TV, keep the brightness and contrast functions at low settings. If a
fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen for long periods of
time at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be
permanently imprinted onto the screen. Continuously watching
the same program can cause the imprint of station logos onto the
TV screen. These types of imprints are not covered by your
warranty because they are the result of misuse.
Note on Caption Vision
This television receiver provides display of television closed
captioning in accordance with §15.119 of the FCC rules.
Note on Cleaning the TV
Clean the TV with a soft dry cloth. Never use strong solvents such
as thinner or benzine, which might damage the finish of the
cabinet.
Note to CATV System Installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for
proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground

to the point of cable entry as practical.
Use of this television receiver for other than private viewing of
programs broadcast on UHF or VHF or transmitted by cable
companies for the use of the general public may require
authorization from the broadcaster/cable company and/or
program owner.
