The unit is designed withslots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openingswith any object, and do not place the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar sur-face. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the TV receiver on a rack orbookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you’ve followed the manufactur-er’s instructions for mounting.• Operate your TV receiver only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealeror local power company.• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV is equipped with a polarizedalternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into thepower outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, tryreversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
ENG 2• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won’t be walkedon or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords atplugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.• Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during alightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will pre-vent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.• Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinityof overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into suchpower lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful tokeep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electricshock.• Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerousvoltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna orcable system is connected to the TV, be sure theantenna or cable system is grounded so as to providesome protection against voltage surges and built-upstatic charges. Section 810 of the National ElectricalCode, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides informationabout proper grounding of the mast and supportingstructure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antennadischarge unit, size of grounding conductors, locationof antenna discharge unit, connection to groundingelectrodes, and requirements for the grounding elec-trode.• Do not attempt to service the TV yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel underthe following conditions:- when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged- if liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit- if the TV has been exposed to rain or water- if the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions- if the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged- when the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance• If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operat-ing instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require exten-sive work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to normal.• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement partsspecified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in a safe operating condition.ANTENNALEAD IN WIREANTENNADISCHARGE UNIT(NEC SECTION 810-20)GROUNDINGCONDUCTORS(NEC SECTION 810-21)GROUND CLAMPSPOWER SERVICE GROUNDINGELECTRODE SYSTEM(NEC ART 250, PART H)GROUND CLAMPELECTRICSERVICEEQUIPMENTNEC — NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODEEXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDINGThis device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules.

User InstructionsThe Federal Communications Commission RadioFrequency Interference Statement includes the fol-lowing warning:NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found tocomply with the limits for a Class B digital device,pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits aredesigned to provide reasonable protection againstharmful interference in a residential installation. Thisequipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio fre-quency energy and, if not installed and used in accor-dance with the instructions, may cause harmful inter-ference to radio communications. However, there isno guarantee that interference will not occur in a par-ticular installation .If this equipment does cause harmful interference toradio or television receptions, which can be deter-mined by turning the equipment off and on, the useris encouraged to try to correct the interference by oneor more of the following measures:•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.•Increase the separation between the equipment andreceiver.•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuitdifferent from that to which the receiver is connect-ed.•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TVtechnician for help.User InformationChanges or modifications not expressly approved bythe party responsible for compliance could void theuser’s authority to operate the equipment.If necessary, consult your dealer or an experiencedradio/television technician for additional suggestions.You may find the booklet called How to Identify andResolve Radio/TV Interference Problems helpful. Thisbooklet was prepared by the Federal Communica-tions Commission.
