5. Clean only with a dry cloth.
6. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. .A polarized plug has two blades with
one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two
blades and third grounding prong. The wide blade or third
prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet..
7. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
8. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
9. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid
injury from tip-over.
10. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
11. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has
been spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
12. This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of
these materials may be regulated due to environmental
considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please
contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries
Alliance: www.eiae.org
13. Damage Requiring Service -The appliance should be serviced
by qualified service personnel when:
•
The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;
or
•
Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the
appliance; or
•
The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
•
The appliance does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance; or
•
The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure
damaged.
14. Tilt/Stability- All televisions must comply with recommended
international safety standards for tilt and stability properties
of its cabinet design.
•
Do not compromise these design standards by applying
excessive pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet
which could ultimately overturn the product.
•
Do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing
electronic equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet.
Such items could unsuspectingly fall from the top of the
set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.
15. Wall or Ceiling Mounting- The appliance should be mounted
to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the
manufacturer.
16. Power Lines- An outdoor antenna should be located away
from power lines.
17. Outdoor Antenna Grounding- If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver, make sure the antenna system is
grounded so as to provide protection against voltage surges
and built up of static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA
No.70-1984, 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 connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
18. Object and Liquid Entry- Care should be taken so that objects
do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure
through openings.
19. Battery Usage CAUTION –To prevent battery leakage that
may result in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to
the unit:
•
Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as
marked on the unit.
•
Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and
alkaline, etc.).
•
Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long
time.

installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the
NEC that provides guidelines for proper
grounding and, in particular, specifies that
the cable ground shall be connected to the
grounding system of the building, as close to
the point of cable entry as practical.
