IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS  
ANTENNA  
DISCHARGE UNIT  
(NEC SECTION 810-20)

tions should be read before the appliance is operated.  
2. Retain Instructions-The safety and operating instruc-  
tions should be retained for future reference.  
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the  
appliance and cart combination to overturn.  
ELECTRIC  
SERVICE  
EQUIPMENT  
9. Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet and the  
back or bottom are provided for ventilation and to  
ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it  
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked  
or covered. The openings should never be blocked by  
placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar  
surface. This TV should never be placed near or over a  
radiator or heat register. This TV should not be placed  
in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack  
unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufac-  
turer’s instructions have been adhered to .  
10. Power Sources-This TV should be operated only from  
the type of power source indicated on the marking  
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply  
to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local  
power company. For TVs intended to operate from bat-  
tery power, or other sources, refer to the operating  
instructions.  
11. Grounding or Polarization-This TV is equipped with a  
polarized alternating-current line plug(a plug having  
one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into  
the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.  
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet,  
try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,  
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.  
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.  
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.  
GROUNDING CONDUCTORS  
(NEC SECTION 810-21)  
3. Heed Warnings-All warnings on the appliance and in  
the operating instructions should be adhered to.  
4. Follow Instructions-All operating and use instructions  
should be followed.  
5. Cleaning-Unplug TV from the wall outlet before  
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol clean-  
ers. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.  
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninter-  
rupted service and that for some specific reason, such  
as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code  
for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged  
by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may  
exclude the reference to unplugging the appliance in  
the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.  
6. Attachments-Do not use attachments not recommend-  
ed by the TV manufacturer as they may cause hazards.  
7. Water and Moisture-Do not use this TV near water, for  
example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or  
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming  
pool, and the like.

NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE  
POWER SERVICE GROUNDING  
ELECTRODE SYSTEM  
(NEC ART 250, PART H)  
S2898A  
tection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.  
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA  
No. 70, provides information with respect to proper  
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, ground-  
ing of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size  
of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge  
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and require-  
ments 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 TV due 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 out-  
side antenna system, extreme care should be taken to  
keep from touching such power lines or circuits as  
contact with them might be fatal.  
16. Overloading-Do not overload wall outlets and extension  
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 TV through 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 are covered by the  
operating instructions, as improper adjustment of other controls  
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by  
a qualified technician to restore the TV to 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  
to persons or other hazards.  
8. Accessories-Do not place this TV on an unstable cart,  
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV may fall, caus-  
ing serious injury to someone, and serious damage to  
the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,  
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or  
sold with the TV.  
PORTABLE CART WARNING  
Any mounting of the appliance  
should follow the manufacturer’s  
instructions and should use a  
mounting accessory recommended

21. Safety Check-Upon completion of any service or repairs to this  
TV, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks  
to determine that the TV is in proper operating condition.  
22. Heat-This TV product should be situated away from  
heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or  
other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
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 pro-  
moved with care. Quick stops,

MAINTENANCE  
CABINET CLEANING  
Sometimes a performance problem can be easily solved by checking seemingly apparent but often over-  
looked possibilities. Before arranging for service, check these items. It could save your time and money.  
PICTURE SCREEN CLEANING  
Wipe the front panel and other exterior sur-  
faces of the TV with a soft cloth immersed  
in lukewarm water and wrung dry.  
If the LCD panel should require cleaning, wipe  
it with a cotton or soft cloth. Before cleaning  
the picture screen, disconnect the power cord.  
Never use a solvent or alcohol. Do not  
spray insecticide liquid near the TV. Such
