Cable fV Installer:
This reminder is provided to call your attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical
Code (Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to
the point of cable entry as practical.
Important;
This television is a table model and is designed to sit on a firm, flat, surface. Don't place the TV on
soft carpeting or similar surface because the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit will be blocked resulting in
reduced lifetime from overheating. To assure adequate ventilation for this product, maintain a spacing of 4 inches
from the top and sides of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces.
Also, make sure the stand, cabinet, or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being
accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage the TV. Refer to
the Important Safety instructions packed separately.

How V-Chip Works for the USA and Canada
V-Chip reads the program's age-based rating (TV-MA, "1%:-14,etc.) and content themes [(Violence
(V), Adult Language (L), etc.)]. If you have blocked the rating and/or content themes that tile
program contains, you will receive the message telling you that tile program is blocked from
viewing.
