Positioning the appliance

1. Do not place your appliance on an unstable cart, stand, shelf or table.

Serious injury to an individual, and damage to the appliance, may result

if it should fall. Your salesperson can recommend

approved carts and stands or shelf and wall mounting

instructions. An appliance and cart combination should

be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and

uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart

combination to overturn.

2. Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are

provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the appliance

and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked

or covered. The openings should never be covered with a cloth or other

material, and the bottom openings should not be blocked by placing the

unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This appliance should

never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This appliance

should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless

proper ventilation is provided.

3. Do not expose the appliance to rain or use near water . . . for example,

near a bathtub, swimming pool, kitchen sink, in a wet basement, etc.

Hooking Up Outdoor Antenna

LIGHTNING PROTECTION FOR YOUR ANTENNA AND SET AS PER

NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE INSTRUCTIONS.

4. 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. Article 810 of the National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper

grounding of the mast and supporting 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.

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of over-

head power lines or other electric light or 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 circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Plug in the power cord

5. The design of many appliances does not require a polarized AC line

plug (one blade wider than the other). However, if your appliance is

equipped with a polarized AC line plug, it is a safety feature which

prevents the plug being inserted incorrectly. If you have

difficulty inserting the plug, try reversing it. If the plug

still does not fit fully into the outlet, contact your electri-

cian to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the

safety purpose of this polarized plug.

6. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate the

appliance where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

Cleaning

7. Before cleaning, unplug the unit from the wall outlet. Do not apply

liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners directly to the unit. Use a dry cloth

for cleaning.

Service & Repair

8. Unplug the appliance from the wall outlet and refer servicing to

qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

A. If the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

B. If liquid has been spilled into the appliance.

C. If the appliance has been exposed to rain or water.

D. If the appliance has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

E. If the appliance exhibits a distinct change in performance.

F. If the appliance does not operate normally by following the operat-

ing instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered in the

operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may

result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified

technician to restore the appliance to normal operation.

9. Upon completion of any service or repair, request the service techni-

cian’s assurance that only Factory Authorized Replacement Parts that

have the same characteristics as the original parts were used, and that

routine safety checks have been performed to determine that the appli-

ance is in safe operating condition. Unauthorized substitutions may

result in fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.

10. Never add accessories that have not been specifically designed for use

with this appliance.

11. For added protection during a lightning storm, or when the set is left

unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall

outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the set

due to lightning or power line surges.
