THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT

DANGEROUS VOLTAGE CONSTITUT-

ING A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK IS

PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT.

THIS SYMBOL INDICATES THAT THERE ARE IMPORTANT OPERAT- ING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUC- TIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE.

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 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 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 sur-

face. 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 manufactur-

built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides infor-

mation 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 conduc-

tors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the ground-

ing 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

extension 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 liquid of any kind on the TV.

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 improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified techni- cian 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 performance, this indicates a need for service.

20.REPLACEMENT PARTS - When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement 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.

6.

ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not rec-

 

ommended 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 damage to the appliance.

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 oper-

ating instructions.

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This TV is

equipped with a polarized 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.
