AMEUBLES
- Cet appareil ne doit être placé
que sur un meuble (avec ou sans roulettes) 
recommandé par le fabricant. Si vous l’
installez sur un meuble à roulettes, déplacez 
les deux ensembles avec précaution. Un arrêt 
brusque, l’utilisation d’une force excessive 
et des surfaces irrégulières risquent de 
déstabiliser l’ensemble et de le renverser.
9.
VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back
or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable 
operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating, these 
openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should 
never be blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other 
similar surface. This TV should never be placed near or over a 
radiator or heat register. This TV should not be placed in a built-in 
installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is 
provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
10.
POWER SOURCES - This TV should be operated only from the type
of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure 
of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance 
dealer or local power company. For TVs intended to operate from 
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
11.
GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This TV is equipped with a
polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade 
wider than the other). This plug will fi t into the power outlet only 
one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug 
fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still 
fail to fi t, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. 
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12.
POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords should be
routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by 
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to 
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they 
exit from the appliance.
13.
OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or
cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable 
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 No. 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. (Fig. A)
14.
LIGHTNING - For added protection for this TV 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 or cable system. This will prevent damage to the TV due 
to lightning and power-line surges.
15.
POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of 
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.
16.
OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and extension
cords as this can result in a risk of fi re or electric shock.
