ELECTRODE SYSTEM
(NEC ART 250, PART H)
S2898A
13.Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV/VCR, be sure the
antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some
protection 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 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. (Fig. A)
19.Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV/VCR 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/VCR.
c. If the TV/VCR has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the TV/VCR does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are
covered by the operating instructions, as improper adjust-
ment of other controls may result in damage and will often
require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the TV/VCR to its normal operation.
14.Lightning-For added protection for this TV/VCR 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/VCR due to lightning and
power-line surges.
e. If the TV/VCR has been dropped or damaged in any way.
f. When the TV/VCR exhibits a distinct change in perfor-
mance-this indicates a need for service.
15.Power Lines-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.
20.Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are required,
be sure the service technician has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same character-
istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other haz-
ards.
21.Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to
this TV/VCR, ask the service technician to perform routine
safety checks to determine that the TV/VCR is in proper
operating condition.
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/VCR through openings as they may touch dan-
gerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in
a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
the TV/VCR.
22.Heat-This TV/VCR product should be situated away from
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
18.Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR yourself
as opening or removing covers may expose you to danger-
ous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to quali-
fied service personnel.

Shield it from direct sunlight and keep it away
from sources of intense heat.
Avoid dusty or humid places.
Avoid places with insufficient ventilation for proper
heat dissipation. Do not block the ventilation holes
at the top and bottom of the unit. Do not place the
unit on a carpet because this will block the ventila-
tion holes.

TV/VCR. Therefore when the condensation occurs
inside the unit, turn the POWER button on and allow
at least 2 hours for the unit to dry out.
ature differences are extreme.

CABLE WITH CONVERTER/
DESCRAMBLER BOX OR SATELLITE
BOX
If your cable service supplies you with a converter
box or if you use a satellite system, you can use the
basic connection shown here.
By using this connection you can also record scram-
bled channels. However, channel selection must be
made with the converter box or satellite box. This
means that channels cannot be changed using the
TV/VCR Remote Control. Unattended timer record-
ing is limited to one channel at a time.
MOBILE CONNECTION
WARNING:The driver should never watch
the TV/VCR while operating a motor vehicle.
CAUTION: If you use the TV/VCR with the
vehicle’s engine off, recharge the vehicle’s
battery after about every 4 hours of use to
prevent it from running down. After you fin-
ish using the TV/VCR be sure you unplug the
car-battery cord from the cigarette-lighter
socket.
1) The supplied indoor antenna is adequate when
your vehicle is stationary. For best reception on
the road, use a high-quality VHF/UHF mobile TV
antenna.
2) Attach the car battery cord to the DC13.2V con-
nector on the back of the TV/VCR. Then, connect
the other end to your vehicle’s cigarette-lighter
socket.
