IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

24)Always operate this equipment from a 120V AC, 60 Hz power source only.

25)Always make sure the antenna system is properly grounded to provide adequate protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges (see Section 810 of the National Electric Code).

30) [This item applies to projection TVs only.] If the air

temperature rises suddenly (for example, when the TV

is first delivered), condensation may form on the

lenses. This can make the picture appear distorted or

the color appear faded. If this happens, turn off the TV

for 6 to 7 hours to allow the condensation to evaporate.

31) For added protection of your TV from lightning and

power surges, always unplug the power cord and

disconnect the antenna from the TV if you leave the TV

unattended or unused for long periods of time.
