of the set.

Do not use power-line operated sets near water 

– for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen 

sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a 

swimming pool, etc.

Route the power cord so that it is not likely to be

against them, paying particular attention to the 

plugs, receptacles, and the point where the cord 

exits from the appliance.

Do not place the set on an unstable cart, stand, 

tripod, bracket, or table. The set may fall, 

causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and 

serious damage to the set. Use only a cart, stand, 

tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the 

manufacturer.

provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure 

reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from 

overheating, these slots and openings must never 

be blocked or covered.



  Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth 

or other materials.



  Never block the slots and openings by placing 

the set on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar

sunlight.

For added protection for this set 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 or 

cable system. This will prevent damage to the set 

due to lightning and power-line surges.

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 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.

Do not attempt to service the set yourself as 

opening or removing covers may expose you to 

dangerous voltage or other hazards.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

When replacement parts are required, be sure 

the service technician 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.

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.
