For added protection for this television 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. This will prevent damage to 
the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.

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, it indicates a need for service.

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.

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.

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.

When you place the projection TV 
in position, be careful not to drop it 
on your foot or fingers.

Watch your footing while installing the projection TV.

If you carry the projection TV in a manner 
other than the specified manner and 
without the specified number of persons, it 
may drop and a serious injury may be 
caused. Be sure to follow the instructions mentioned 
below.

❑

Carry the projection TV with the specified number 
of persons. (see page 10)

Do not carry the projection TV holding the speaker 
grill.
