Important Safeguards (continued)
Never place the set in a confined space,
such as a bookcase, or built-in cabinet
unless proper ventilation is provided.
Do not place the set near or over a radiator
or heat register, or where it is exposed to
direct sunlight
Antenna Grounding According to the NEC
Refer to section 54-300 of Canadian Electrical Code for
Antenna Grounding.
Power-Cord Protection
Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over
the power cord, and do not place the set
where the power cord is subject to wear or
abuse.
Antennas
Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions
below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such
power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM,
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM
CONTACHNG SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS
CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the anteima system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in
USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in
Canada 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,
cormection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrode.

Lightning
For added protection for this television receiver during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, implug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the
receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.
Service
Damage Requiring Service
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 liquid has been spilled into the set.
If the set has been exposed to rain or
water.
• 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.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service the set yourself
since opening the cabinet may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician certifies in writing that he 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.
Safety Check
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, and to so
certify. When the set reaches the end of its useful
life, improper disposal could result in a picture
tube implosion. Ask a qualified service
technician to dispose of the set.
