(160-0426/7)   Important Safeguards and Precautions   Faxback Doc. # 51758

1.  Read Instructions -- All the safety and operating instructions should
    be read before the appliance is operated.

2.  Retain Instructions -- The safety and operating instructions should be
    retained for future reference.

3.  Heed Warnings -- All warnings on the appliance and in the operating
    instructions should be adhered to.

4.  Follow Instructions -- All operating and use instructions should be
    followed.

5.  Cleaning -- Unplug TV/VCR from the wall outlet before cleaning.  Do not
    use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.  Use a damp cloth for
    cleaning.

6.  Attachments -- Do not use attachments not recommended by the TV/VCR
    manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

7.  Water and Moisture -- Do not use this TV/VCR near water - for example,
    near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet
    basement, or near a swimming pool.

8.  Accessories -- Do not place this TV/VCR on an unstable cart, stand,
    tripod, bracket, or table.  The TV/VCR may fall, causing serious injury
    to someone and serious damage to the appliance.  Use only with a cart,
    stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or
    sold with the TV/VCR.  Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
    manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting accessory
    recommended by the manufacturer.  An appliance and cart combination
    should be moved with care.

    Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause an
    appliance and cart combination to overturn.

9.  Ventilation -- Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom
    are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the
    TV/VCR and to protect it from overheating.  These openings must not be
    blocked or covered.  The openings should never be blocked by placing
    the TV/VCR on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.

    This TV/VCR should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
    register.  This TV/VCR should not be placed in a built-in installation
    such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the
    manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

10. Power Sources -- This TV/VCR 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 appliance dealer
    or local power company.  For TV/VCRs intended to operate from battery
    power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

11. Grounding and Polarization -- This TV/VCR is equipped with a polarized
    alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
    other).  This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.  This
    is a safety feature.  If you are unable to insert the plug fully into
    the outlet, try reversing the plug.  If the plug should still fail to
    fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.  Do not
    defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

12. Power-Cord Protection -- Power-supply cords should be routed so they
    are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
    against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
    convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
    appliance.

13. Outdoor Antenna Grounding -- If an outside antenna or cable system is
    connected to the TV/VCR, be sure the antenna or cable system is
    grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
    built-up static charges.  Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
    ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, 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.

14. Lightning -- For added protection for this TV/VCR 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 or cable system.  This will prevent damage to the TV/VCR due to
    lightning and power-line surges.

15. Power Lines -- 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.

16. Overloading -- Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this
    can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17. Object and Liquid Entry -- Never push objects of any kind into this
    TV/VCR through openings 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 TV/VCR.

18. Servicing -- Do not attempt to service this TV/VCR yourself as opening
    or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other
    hazards.  Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19. Damage Requiring Service -- Unplug this TV/VCR from the wall outlet and
    refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following
    conditions:

    * When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

    * If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the TV/VCR.

    * If the TV/VCR has been exposed to rain or water.

    * If the TV/VCR 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 TV/VCR to its normal operation.

    * If the TV/VCR has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

    * When the TV/VCR exhibits a distinct change in performance - this
      indicates a need for service.

20. Replacement Parts -- 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, injury
    to persons or other hazards.

21. Safety Check -- Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
    TV/VCR , ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to
    determine that the TV/VCR is in proper operating condition.

22. Heat -- This TV/VCR product should be situated away from heat sources
    such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including
    amplifiers) that produce heat.

Warning:  When you install an outdoor antenna, use extreme caution.  If the
antenna starts to fall, let it go!  It could contact overhead power lines.
If the antenna touches the power line, contact with the antenna, mast,
cable, or guy wires can cause electrocution and death.  Call the power
company to remove the antenna.  Do not attempt to remove it yourself!
