Unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel under the following conditions:
s When the power cord or plug is
damaged or frayed.
s If liquid has been spilled into the set.
s If the set has been exposed to rain or water.

being dropped, or the cabinet has been damaged.

may result in damage and will often require
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore
the set to normal operation.

performance, it 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/she
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.
