9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other.
A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety. When the

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 if the
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, or if 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 recycling information, please contact your local authorities
or the Electronic Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org).
16. Damage Requiring Service - The appliance should be serviced by
qualified service personnel when:
a. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged;
B. Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the appliance;
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain;
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a
marked change in performance;
E. The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended
international global safety standards for tilt and stability proper ties of
its cabinet 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
unsuspectingly fall from the top of the set and cause product damage
and/or personal injury.
18. Power Lines - An outdoor antenna should be located away from
power lines.
19. Outdoor antenna 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 Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70- 1984,
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 connectors, location of antenna-
discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements
for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.
20. Object and Liquid Entry - Care should be taken so that objects do not
fall and liquids are not spilled into the enclosure through openings.
21. 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.
22. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the
apparatus.
note to the Cable TV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the Cable TV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC (Section
54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
