Important Safeguards
For your protection, please read these
instructions completely, and keep this
manual for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all
warnings, cautions and instructions placed
on the set, or described in the operating
instructions or service manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic
safety precautions should be observed in the
installation, use, and servicing of the set.
Use
Power Sources
This set should be
operated only from the
type of power source
indicated on the serial/
model plate.
If you are not sure of the type of electrical
power supplied to your home, consult your
dealer or local power company. For those
sets designed to operate from battery power,
refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized AC
power cord plug (a plug having one blade
wider than the other), or with a three-wire
grounding type plug (a plug having a third
pin for grounding).
Follow the instructions below:
For the set with a
polarized AC power
cord plug
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 have a
suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug by
forcing it in.
Alternate Warning
For the set with a
three-wire grounding
type AC plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type
power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you
are unable to insert the plug into the outlet,
contact your electrician to have a suitable
outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall
outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles
beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire
or electric shock.
Always turn the set off
when it is not to be used.
When the set is left
unattended and unused
for long periods of time,
unplug it from the wall
outlet as a precaution
against the possibility of
an internal malfunction
that could create a fire
hazard.
Object and Liquid
Entry
Never push objects of any
kind into the set through
the cabinet slots 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 set.
