Damage Requiring Service
— Unplug the set from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
— When the power cord or plug is
damaged or frayed.
— If liquid has been spilled into the
set.
— If the set has been exposed to
rain or water.
— If the set has been subject to
excessive shock by being dropped,
or the cabinet has been damaged.
— 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 the set exhibits a distinct change in
performance—this indicates a need for service.
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 substitutions may result in fire, electric
shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check
— Upon completion
of any service or repairs to the set,
ask the service technician to
perform routine safety checks (as
specified by the manufacturer) to
determine that the set is in safe
operating condition, and to so
certify.
When the set reaches the end of its
useful life, improper disposal could
result in a picture tube implosion.
Ask a qualified service technician
to dispose of the set.
