Important Safety Information, continued

•Do not place the TV/VCR on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV/VCR may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the unit. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recom- mended by the manufacturer or sold with the TV/VCR. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions

when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recom- mended by the manufacturer. Move the TV/VCR and its cart with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit and cart to overturn.

•Operate your TV/VCR 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 dealer or local power company.

•Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV/VCR is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still doesn’t fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.

•Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they are unlikely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, con- venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

•Unplug the TV/VCR from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent 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 vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keep 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 electric shock.

•Do not insert foreign objects through openings in the unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV/VCR.
