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.
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 fi t 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 fi t, 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 fi re 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 fi re 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 qualifi ed service personnel.
19.
DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
- Unplug this TV from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualifi ed 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
qualifi ed 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 specifi ed by the manufacturer that
have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions
may result in fi re, electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards.
