apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, brack-
et, or table specified by the manufacturer,
or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is
used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord
or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.

16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance
should be serviced by qualified service personnel
when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been dam-
aged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into
the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normal-
ly or exhibits a marked change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure
damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with
recommended international global safety stan-
dards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinet
design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by
applying excessive pull force to the front, or top,
of the cabinet which could ultimately overturn the
product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by
placing electronic equipment/toys on the top of
the cabinet. Such items could unsuspectingly fall
from the top of the set and cause product damage
and/or personal injury.
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance
should be mounted to a wall or ceiling only as
recommended by the manufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be
located away from power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside
antenna is connected to the receiver, be sure the
antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built up stat-
ic charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, 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 con-
nectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connec-
tion to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken
so that objects do not fall and liquids are not
spilled into the enclosure through openings.
a) Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric
shock, this apparatus should not be exposed to rain
or moisture and objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, should not be placed on this apparatus.
22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery
leakage that may result in bodily injury, property
damage, or damage to the unit:
• Install all batteries correctly, with + and -
aligned as marked on the unit.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and
alkaline, etc.).
• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a
long time.
