For added protection for this television 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. This will prevent damage to the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.

ServiceDamage Requiring Service

Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

- When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

- If liquid has been spilled into the set.

- If the set has been exposed to rain or water.

- If the set has been subject to excessive shock by being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.

- If the set does not operate normally when following the

operating instructions.

Adjust only those controls

that are specified in the operating instructions.

Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the set to normal operation.

-When the set exhibits a distinct change in performance—this indicates a need for service.

Servicing

Do not attempt to service the

set yourself since opening

the cabinet may expose you to dangerous voltage or other

hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician certifies in writing that he has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

Safety Check

Upon completion of any service or repairs to the set, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks (as specified by the manufacturer) to determine that the set is in safe operating condition, and to so certify.

When the set reaches the end of its useful life, improper disposal could result in a picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified service technician to dispose of the set.
