un meuble (avec ou sans roulettes) recommandé par le

fabricant. Si vous l’installez sur

un meuble à roulettes, déplacez

les deux ensembles avec précau-

tion. Un arrêt brusque, l’utilisa-

tion d’une force excessive et des

surfaces irrégulières risquent de

déstabiliser l’ensemble et de le

renverser.

9. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet and the

ensure reliable operation of the TVand to protect it

from overheating, these openings must not be

blocked or covered. The openings should never be

blocked by placing the TVon a bed, sofa, rug, or

12. Power-Cord Protection-Power-supply cords should be

routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or

pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying

particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience

receptacles, and the point where they exit from the

appliance.

13. Outdoor Antenna grounding-If an outside antenna or

cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the

antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide

some protection against voltage surges and built-up

static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPANo. 70, provides information with

respect to proper grounding of the mast and support-

ing structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an

antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,

location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to

grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode. (Fig. A)

14. Lightning-For added protection for this TV 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 or cable

system. This will prevent damage to the TVdue to

lightning and power-line surges.

15. Power Lines-An outside antenna system should not be

located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or

other electric light of power circuits, or where it can

fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing

an outside antenna system, extreme care should be

taken to keep from touching such power lines or cir-

cuits as contact with them might be fatal.

16. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and exten-

sion cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric

shock.

17. Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any

kind into this TVthrough openings as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could

result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of

any kind on the TV.

18. Servicing-Do not attempt to service this TV yourself

as opening or removing covers may expose you to

dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing

to qualified service personnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service-Unplug this TV from the

wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service per-

sonnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or

frayed.

b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into

the TV.

c. If the TV has been exposed to rain or water.

d. If the TV does not operate normally by following the

operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that

adjustment of other controls may result in damage and

will often require extensive work by a qualified tech-

nician to restore the TVto its normal operation.

e. If the TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.

f. When the TV exhibits a distinct change in perfor-

mance-this indicates a need for service.

20. Replacement Parts-When replacement parts are

required, be sure the service technician uses replace-

ment parts specified by the manufacturer that have the

same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury
