THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANY- ING THE APPLIANCE.

The important note is located on the rear of the cabinet.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

1.READ INSTRUCTIONS - All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.

2.RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS - The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

3.HEED WARNINGS - All warnings on the appliance and in the oper- ating instructions should be adhered to.

4.FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use instructions should be followed.

5.CLEANING - Unplug TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted 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 recommended by the TV manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7.WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use this TV near water, for ex- ample, 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 damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manu- facturer, or sold with the TV.

Any mounting of the appliance should follow S3126A the manufacturer’s instructions and should

use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appli- ance and cart combination 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 exces-

sive et des surfaces irrégulières risquent de déstabiliser l’ensemble et de le renverser.

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 overheat- ing, 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 provided 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 marking 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 po- larized alternating-current line plug (a plug having 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.

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, convenience 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 volt- age 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, connec- tion to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

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.
