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 groundingtype
plug. Apolarized 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 pro-
vided 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 combina-
tion 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-sup-
ply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fall-
en 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 and mercury. Disposal of these materials
may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or

17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended interna-
tional global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of its cabi-
net 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 unsuspect-
ingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage and/or per-
sonal injury.
18. Wall orCeiling 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. OutdoorAntenna 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/NFPANo. 70- 1984,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-
charge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of antenna-discharge
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode. See Figure below.
21. Object 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 liq-
uids, 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 - aligned 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.
23. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.
24. Object and Liquid Entry - Never push objects of any kind into this
product 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 product.
25. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician has used replacement parts specified by the manufac-
turer or have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
