cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol clean-
ers. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

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.

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 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.

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 sur-
face. 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 manufactur-
er’s instructions have been adhered to.

10. POWER SOURCES - This TV should be operated only

from the type of power source indicated on the mark-
ing label. If you are not sure of the type of power sup-
ply 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 oper-
ating 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 perfor-

mance, 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
