THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT
THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING
AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING
THE APPLIANCE.
The important note is located on the rear of the cabinet.
1. Read instructions-All the safety and operating instruc-
tions should be read before the appliance is operated.
2. Retain Instructions-The safety and operating instruc-
tions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings-All warnings on the appliance and in
the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. Follow Instructions-All operating and use instruc-
tions 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.
8. Accessories-Do not place this TV on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV may fall,
causing serious injury to someone, and serious dam-
age to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tri-
pod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufac-
turer, or sold with the TV.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and
should use a mounting accessory
recommended by the manufactur-
er. An appliance and cart combi-
nation should be moved with
care. Quick stops, excessive
force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart com-
bination to overturn.
AMEUBLES- Cet appareil ne doit être placé que sur
un meuble (avec ou sans roulettes) recommandé par
le fabricant. Si vous l’installez
sur un meuble à roulettes,
déplacez les deux ensembles
avec précaution. Un arrêt
brusque, l’utilisation d’une force
excessive et des surfaces
irrégulières risquent de désta-
biliser l’ensemble et de le ren-
verser.
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 pro-
vided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been
adhered to .
10. Power Sources-This TV should be operated only
from the type of power source indicated on the mark-
ing 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 battery 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 hav-
ing 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.
PORTABLE CART WARNING
S3126A
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, conve-
nience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the appliance.
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 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 support-
ing 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)
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 outside antenna system, extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power lines or cir-
cuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and exten-
sion 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 liq-
uid 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 other hazards. Refer all servic-
ing to qualified service personnel.
19. Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV from the
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel 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 improp-
er 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.
21. Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or
repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to per-
form 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.
