IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
n 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.
Section 810 of the National 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 elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

n For added protection for this television equipment during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and dis-
connect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equip-
ment due to lightning and power-line surges.
n An outside antenna system should not be located in the vi-
cinity 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.

PREPARATION
W Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window.
Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent
proper operation.
Cautions regarding use of remote control
W Do not expose the remote control to shock.
In addition, do not expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place
in an area with high humidity.
W Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat
may cause deformation of the unit.
n The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window
of the main unit is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such a
case, change the angle of the lighting or LCD TV set, or operate the
remote control closer to the remote sensor window.
If the remote control fails to operate the LCD color TV functions, replace the batteries in the remote
control.

is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV,
consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler
provided by your cable TV company is explained below.
Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and 8) is required (not supplied).
