at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the apparatus.

11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. 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.

13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused  for

long periods of time.

14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required

when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,  such as if the
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, or if the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.

15. 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).

16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced  by

qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;

B. Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain;
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance;
E. The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.

17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended

international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties

• Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive
pull force to the front, or top, of the cabinet, which could ultimately

damage and/or personal injury.

18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a

wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.

19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from

20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to

the receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical 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

in bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:
•   Install all batteries correctly, with + and - aligned as marked on
the unit.

•   Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

23. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects

filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

Note to the Cable TV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the Cable TV 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 shall be connected to the grounding system of the
building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
