ELECTRIC
SERVICE
EQUIPMENT
9. Ventilation-Slots 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 a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufac-
turer’s instructions have been adhered to .
10. 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 home, consult your appliance dealer or local
power company. For TVs intended to operate from bat-
tery 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 electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. Power-Cord Protection-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
particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
appliance.
GROUNDING CONDUCTORS
(NEC SECTION 810-21)
3. Heed Warnings-All warnings on the appliance and in
the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions-All operating and use instructions
should be followed.
5. Cleaning-Unplug TV from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol clean-
ers. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninter-
rupted service and that for some specific reason, such
as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code
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 in
the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.
6. Attachments-Do not use attachments not recommend-
ed by the TV 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.

tection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
No. 70, provides information with respect to proper

other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
19. Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service per-
sonnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the TV.
c. If the TV has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the TV does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the
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 TV to its normal operation.
e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance-this indicates a need for service.
20. Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are
required, be sure the service technician uses replace-
ment parts specified by the manufacturer that have the
same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury
to persons or other hazards.
14. Lightning-For added protection for this TV receiver during
a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent
damage to the TV due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. 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 into
such power lines or circuits. When installing an out-
side antenna system, extreme care should be taken to
keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
16. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
17. Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind
into this TV through openings as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.
18. Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV yourself as opening
or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or
8. Accessories-Do not place this TV on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV may fall, caus-
ing serious injury to someone, and serious damage to
the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or
sold with the TV.
PORTABLE CART WARNING
Any mounting of the appliance
should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions and should use a
mounting accessory recommended
by the manufacturer. An appliance

21. Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
TV, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks
to determine that the TV is in proper operating condition.
22. Heat-This TV product should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
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 pro-
