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)

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. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the TV.
18.
SERVICING
- Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
- Unplug this TV from the wall outlet and
refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV.
c. If the TV has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the TV to its normal operation.
e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a
need for service.
20.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
- When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that
have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards.
21.
SAFETY CHECK
- Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask
the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that the
TV is in proper operating condition.
22.
HEAT
- This TV product should be situated away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
