IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• Never expose the set to rain or water. If the set has been exposed to rain or water,
unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer to servicing personnel.
13 Choose a place where light (artificial or sunlight) does not shine directly on the
screen.
14 Avoid dusty places, since accumulated dust inside the chassis may cause failure of
the set when high humidity persists.
15 The set has slots, or openings in the cabinet for ventilation purposes, to provide
reliable operation of the receiver, and to protect from overheating. These openings must
not be blocked or covered.
• Never cover the slots or openings with cloth or other material.
• Never block the bottom ventilation slots of the set by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug, etc.
• Never place the set near or over a radiator or heat register.
• Never place the set in a "built-in" enclosure, unless proper ventilation provided.
