IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
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 pro-
vide 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 elec-
trode. (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 cir-
cuits 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.
18. SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this TV your-
self 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.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPLI-
ANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT DAN-
GEROUS VOLTAGE CONSTITUTING A
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK IS PRE-
SENT WITHIN THIS UNIT.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into
the TV.
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK) NO
USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SER-
VICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT
THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING
AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING
THE APPLIANCE.
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 techni-
cian 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.
The important note is located on the rear of the cabinet.
SYMBOLE D'AVERTISSEMENT POUR
1. READ INSTRUCTIONS - All the safety and operating
instructions should be read before the appliance is
operated.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating
instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the appliance
and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use

force excessive et des surfaces irrégulières risquent de
déstabiliser l’ensemble et de le renverser.
5. CLEANING - Unplug TV from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol clean-
ers. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
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 plac-
ing 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.
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 liq-
uid of any kind on the TV.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupt-
ed service and, that for some specific reason, such as
the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a
CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by
the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may
exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in
the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.
6. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recom-
mended 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.

Any mounting of the appliance should follow the man-
ufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. An appli-
ance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
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, con-
venience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the appliance.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV 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 con-
nected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
