Damage Requiring Service
Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel
under the following conditions:
• When the power cord or plug is
damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled into the set or
objects have fallen into the product.
• If the set has been exposed to rain or
water.
• If the set has been subject to excessive
shock by being dropped, or the cabinet
has been damaged.
• If the set does not operate normally
when following the operating
instructions. Adjust only those controls
that are specified 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
set to normal operation.
• When the set exhibits a distinct change
in performance — this indicates a need
for service.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set yourself
since opening the cabinet may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be
sure the service technician certifies in
writing that he has used replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the
same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to
the set, ask the service technician to perform
routine safety checks (as specified by the
manufacturer) to determine that the set is in
safe operating condition, and to so certify.
When the set reaches the end of its useful
life, improper disposal could result in a
picture tube implosion. Ask a qualified
service technician to dispose of the set.
