WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating
and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the
appliance.
Note to the CATV Installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of
the NEC 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Operate the TV only on 120 V AC.
One blade of the power plug is wider than the other for safety purposes and will fit
into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the
outlet, contact your dealer.
If any liquid or solid object falls into the TV, unplug it and have it checked by qualified
personnel before operating it further.
CAUTION
When using TV games, computers, and similar products with your TV, keep the brightness
and contrast functions at low settings. If a fixed (non-moving) pattern is left on the screen
for long periods of time at a high brightness or contrast setting, the image can be
permanently imprinted onto the screen. Continuously watching the same channel can cause
the imprint of station logos onto the TV screen. These types of imprints are not covered by
your warranty because they are the results of misuse.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use this polarized plug with an
extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully
inserted to prevent blade exposure.

operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized AC
