CAUTION: Please read all of these instructions before you operate your television and save

these instructions for later use.

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions. This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure

your personal safety. BUT IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE

HAZARDS. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this equipment, observe the following basic

rules for its installation, use and servicing.

1. Unplug this television equipment from the wall outlet before cleaning.

2. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

3. Do not use attachments not recommended by the television equipment manufacturer as they may cause

hazards.

4. Do not use this television equipment near water — for example, near a bath tub, washbowl, kitchen sink or

laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.

5. Do not place this equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The television equipment may fall, causing

serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the equipment. Use only with a cart or stand

recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the television equipment.

6. Television equipment and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,

excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to

overturn.

7. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a

mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.

8. Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation. To

insure reliable operation of the television equipment and to protect it from overheating, these openings must

not be blocked or covered. This television equipment should not be placed in a built-in insulation such as a

bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

9. The openings should never be covered with a cloth or other material, and the bottom openings should not

be blocked by placing the television equipment on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This television

equipment should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.

10. This television equipment 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 supplied to your home, consult your television dealer or local

power company.

For television equipment designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

11. As a safety feature, television equipment is equipped with a 2-wire polarized plug (one plug blade bigger

than the other). The 2-wire polarized plug will fit only one way into the power outlet.

If the plug does not fit, ask your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not modify the plug and defeat

this safety feature.

12. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this television equipment where the cord will

be abused by persons walking on it.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

20F540 3

Dimension: 140mm x 215mm

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS (Continued)

13. Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the television equipment.

14. If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, 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 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.

15. For added protection for this television equipment 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 equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

16. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric

light or 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.

17. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.

18. Never push objects of any kind into this television equipment through cabinet slots as they may touch

dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid

of any kind on the television equipment.

19. Do not attempt to service this television equipment yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you

to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

20. Unplug this television equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel

under the following conditions:

A. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

B. If liquid has been spilled into the television equipment.

C. If the television equipment has been exposed to rain or water.

D. If the television equipment does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust

only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other

controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the television equipment to normal operation.

E. If the television equipment has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

F. When the television equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance — this indicates a need for

service.

21. Upon completion of any service or repairs to this television equipment, ask the service technician to

perform routine safety checks to determine that the television is in safe operating condition.

22. 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 part. Unauthorized

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
