IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE
ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE.
The important note is located on the rear of the cabinet.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
1. READ INSTRUCTIONS - All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the appliance and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. CLEANING - Unplug TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and,
that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss
of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to
be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may
exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in the cleaning
description otherwise required in item 5.
6. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by
the TV manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use this TV near water, for
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub,
in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
8. ACCESSORIES - Do not place this TV on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The
TV may fall, causing serious injury to someone, and
serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended
by the manufacturer, or sold with the TV.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow
the manufacturer’s instructions and should
use a mounting accessory recommended by
the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
AMEUBLES - Cet appareil ne doit être placé
que sur un meuble (avec ou sans roulettes)
recommandé par le fabricant. Si vous l’
installez sur un meuble à roulettes, déplacez
les deux ensembles avec précaution. Un arrêt
brusque, l’utilisation d’une force excessive
et des surfaces irrégulières risquent de
déstabiliser l’ensemble et de le renverser.
9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the
cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation
and to ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the TV on a bed,
sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV should never be placed
near or over a radiator or heat register. This TV should not be
placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions
have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCES - This TV should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company. For TVs intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This TV is equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still
fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from the appliance.
13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, 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. (Fig. A)
14. LIGHTNING - For added protection for this TV receiver during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due
to lightning and power-line surges.
15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should
be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY - Never push objects of any kind into
this TV through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock.
