tioncode 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 inthe cleaning descrip-
tion othenvise required in item 5.
6. Attachments-Do not use attachments not recom-
mended by the "rv 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. Accessobes-Do not place this TV on an unstable
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV may
fall, causing sedous injury to someone, and seri-
ous damage to the appliance. PO_A_ECA.TW...,NG
Use only with a cart, stand, tri-
pod, bracket, or table recom-
mended by the manufacturer, or
sold with the TV.
Any mounting of the appliance
should follow the manufacturer's
instructions and should use a
mounting accessory recommended by the manu-
facturer. An appliance and cart combination
should be moved with care. Quick stops, exces-
sive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the
appliance and cart combination to overturn.
9. Ventlletion-SIots 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 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 abookcase or rack unless
proper ventilation is provided or the manufactur-
er's instructions have been adhered to.
lO.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 homo, consult your appli-
ance dealer or local power company. Per 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 elec-
tncian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12.Power-Cord Prctectlen-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 padicular attention to cords
at plugs, convenience 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
provide some protection against voltage surges
and buitt-up static charges. Article 810 of the
National Electrical Cede, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, pro-
vibes 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-dis-
charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.
(Fig. A)
14,Lightning-Eor added protection for this TV receiv-
er dunng a lightning storm, or when it is left unat-
tended and unused for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna or cable system, This will prevent dam-
age to the TV due to lightning and power-line
surges.
tS.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 intosuch power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touch-
ing such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.

extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire
or electric shock.

self as opening or removing covers may expose
you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer
all servicing to qualified service personnel.
