Power-Cord Protection
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the 
power cord, and do not place the set where the 
power cord is subject to wear or abuse.
Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An 
outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of 
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or 
where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits. 
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, 
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM 
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS 
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
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 Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and 
Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada 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.
Antenna Grounding According to the NEC
Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for Antenna 
Grounding.
Lightning
For added protection for this television receiver during a lightning 
storm, or when it 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 receiver due to lightning and 
power-line surges.
Service
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.
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, it 
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.
