(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!
