Note to the CATV system 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.
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with a dry cloth.
7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturers instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves,
or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding
type plug has two blades and third grounding prong.The wide blade or third
prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods
of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the
apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally,
or has been dropped.
15. This product may contain lead or mercury. Disposal of these materials may
be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling
information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries
Alliance: www.eiae.org.
16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by qualified
service personnel when:
A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; or
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; or
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked
change in performance; or
E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended international
global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabinets design.
• Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to
the front, or top, of the cabinet which could ultimately overturn the product.
• Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing electronic equipment/
toys on the top of the cabinet. Such items could unsuspectingly fall from the
top of the set and cause product damage and/or personal injury.
18. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The appliance should be mounted to a wall or
ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
19. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from power lines.
20. Outdoor Antenna Grounding - If an outside antenna is connected to the
receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides
information with respect to proper grounding of the mats and supporting
structure grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna-discharge unit, size
of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to
grounding electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode. See
Figure below.
21. Objects and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not fall and
liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
a) Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, this apparatus should
not be exposed to rain or moisture and objects filled with liquids, such as
vases should not be placed on this apparatus.
22. Battery Usage CAUTION - To prevent battery leakage that may result in
bodily injury, property damage, or damage to the unit:
• Install all batteries correctly, with + and - alignment as marked on the unit.
• Do not mix batteries (old and new or carbon and alkaline, etc.)
• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.
