12. Use only with a cart,stand, tripod, bracket,or table
specified by the manufacturer,or sold with the appara-
tus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving
the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,such as power-
supply cord or plug is damaged,liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into apparatus,the apparatus has been exposed to rain
or moisture,does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. This product may contain lead and mercury.Disposal of these mate-
rials may be regulated due to environmental considerations.For dis-
posal or recycling information,please contact your local authorities or
the Electronic Industries Alliance:www.eiae.org
16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be
serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;or
B. Objects have fallen,or liquid has been spilled into the appli-
ance;or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain;or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or
exhibits a marked change in performance;or
E. The appliance has been dropped,or the enclosure damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended
international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of
its cabinet design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive
pull force to the front,or top, of the cabinet which could ultimately
overturn the product.
• Also,do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic
equipment/toys on the top of the cabinet.Such items could unsus-
pectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage
and/or personal injury.
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufac-
turer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away
from power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is
connected to the receiver,be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built up
static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code,ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure,grounding of the lead-in wire to an anten-
na discharge unit,size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-
discharge unit,connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode.See Figure below.
21. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that
objects do not fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure
through openings.comply with recommended international global safe-
ty standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinet design.
22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that
may result in bodily injury,property damage, or damage to the unit:
• Install all batteries correctly,with + and - aligned as marked on
the unit.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline,etc.).
Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

Note to the CATV system installer: This
reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC
that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
