Note to the CATV 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.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

❏Operate the TV only on 120 V AC.
❏One blade of the power plug is wider than the other for safety
purposes and will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you
are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact your
dealer.
❏If any liquid or solid object falls into the TV, unplug it and have
it checked by qualified personnel before operating it further.

CAUTION

When using TV games, computers, and similar products with your
TV, keep the brightness and contrast functions at low settings. If a
fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen for long periods of
time at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be
permanently imprinted onto the screen. Continuously watching
the same channel can cause the imprint of station logos onto the
TV screen. These types of imprints are not covered by your
warranty because they are the results of misuse.
