Lightning storms
For added protection for this TV 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. This will prevent damage to the
receiver due to lightning and power line surges.

This TV set is designed to operate on a 120 V
AC supply only. Take care not to connect too
many appliances to the same AC power outlet
