Safety Instructions For Television Receivers
1. Read and apply the operating instructions provided with your television receiver.
2. Read all of the instructions given here and retain them for later use.
3. Unplug this television receiver from the wall outlet before cleaning. De not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp
cloth for cleaning.
4. Do not use attachments not recommended by the television receiver manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
5. Do not use this television receiver near water. For example: Avoid placing it near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
6. D° not place this television receiver on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The television receiver may fall, causing serious
injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the television receiver. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer's instructions,
and should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.
6A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and _IL_'_
uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
7. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to insure
reliable operation of the television receiver and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the television receiver on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface. This television receiver should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This television receiver
should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
8. Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supplied to your home consult your television dealer or local power company. For television receivers designed to
operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.
9. This television receiver is equipped with apolarized 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 intothe outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug should still fail to fit, contact your N_G AS _'_
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do EXAMPLEOF ANTENNAGROUNDI

electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on ELECTRODESYSTEM
the television receiver. (NED ART 250, PART H)
-2-

14.If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built up static charges. In the U.S. Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code and in Canada Part I of the Canadian Electrical Code 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.
See Figure.
15. For added protection for this television receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long
pedods 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.
16. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or 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.
17. Unplug this television receiver from the wall outlet, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the television receiver.
c. ]f the television receiver has been exposed to rain or water.
d. Ifthe television receiver does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are covered bythe operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will
often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the television receiver to normal operation.
e. If the television receiver has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the television receiver exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.
18. Do not attempt to service this television receiver yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the odginal part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
20. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this television receiver, ask the service technician to perform routine safety
checks to determine that the television is in safe operating condition.
21. WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this appliance to rain or moisture.
22. CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS (POLARIZED) PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR
OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
NOTE: This equipment isdesig ned to operate inthe U.S.A., Canada and other countrieswhere the broadcasting system and
AC house current is exactly the same as in the U.S.A. and Canada.
Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Teletext or Other Fixed Image Displays,
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause apermanent "shadow image" on the picture tube. This
background image isviewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible picture
tube deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
A. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.
NOTE: The marking or retained image on the picture tube resultingfrom fixed image use isnot an operating defect and as
such isnotcovered byWarranty. This product isnotdesigned to display fixed image patterns forextended periodsof

Installation
Receiver Location
This unit is intended to be used with an optional stand or entertainment center. Consult your dealer for available options.
Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the
screen.
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting may reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or
moisture.
To insure optimum color purity, do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.
Optional External Equipment Connections
The Video/Audio connections between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best perfor-
mance, video cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic
supply house.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components
require. Also determine the length of cable you'll need.
AC Power Supply Cord
Remote Control Battery Installation
Batteries: Use two "AA" batteries.
1. Turn the Transmitter face down. To remove top cover, press down on
marking and slide cover off in the direction indicated.
2. Install the batteries as shown in the battery compartment. (Polarity (+) or
(-) must be correct.)
3. Replace the cover and slide in reverse until the lock snaps.
4. For heavy Remote Control use, replace old batteries with Alkaline
batteries for longer life.
NOTE: Incorrect installation can cause battery leakage and corrosion that
will damage the Remote Control Transmitter.
Observe the Following Precautions:
1. Batteries must be replaced as a pair.
2. Do not combine a used battery with a new one.
3.. Do not mix battery types (Example: Zinc Carbon with Alkaline).
4. Do not attempt to charge, short-circuit, disassemble, heat or burn used
batteries.
5. Battery replacement is necessary when Remote Control reacts
sporadically or stops operating the Receiver.
