IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
CAUTION:
Please read and retain for your safety.
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This TV
set has been engineered and manufactured to assure your
personal safety. But improper use can result in potential elec
-
trical shock or fire hazards. In order not to defeat the safe-
guards incorporated in this TV set, observe the following
basic rules for its installation, use and servicing.
And also follow all warnings and instructions marked on your
TV set.
INSTALLATION
1Your TV set is equipped with a polarized AC line plug (one
blade of the plug is wider than the other).
This safety feature allows the plug to fit into the power out-
let only one way. Should you be unable to insert the plug
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
Should it still fail to fit, contact your electrician.
2Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated
on the TV set or refer to the operating instructions for this
information. If you are not sure of the type of power supply
to your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power
company. For battery operation, refer to the operating
instructions.
3Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are danger-
ous, and so are frayed power cords and broken plugs.
They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service
technician for replacement.
4Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord,
and do not place the TV set where power cord is subject to
traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard.
5Do not use this TV set near water — for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
basement, or near swimming pool, etc.
6If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, 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 provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting struc-
ture, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
