13.Outdoor Antenna grounding - If an outside antenna or  
cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna  
or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protec-  
tion against voltage surges and built-up static charges.  
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA  
No. 70, 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. (Fig. A)  
19.Damage Requiring Service - Unplug this unit from the  
wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service person-  
nel under the following conditions:  
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.  
b. If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the  
unit.  
c. If the unit has been exposed to rain or water.  
d. If the unit does not operate normally by following the oper-  
ating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are cov-  
ered 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 unit to its normal operation.  
14.Lightning - For added protection for this unit receiver dur-  
ing 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 unit due to lightning and power-line  
surges.  
e. If the unit has been dropped or damaged in any way.  
f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance,  
this indicates a need for service.  
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.  
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 character-  
istics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may  
result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other haz-  
ards.  
21.Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs  
to this unit, ask the service technician to perform routine  
safety checks to determine that the unit is in proper operat-  
ing condition.  
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 unit through openings as they may touch danger-  
ous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a  
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the  
unit.  
22.Heat - This unit product should be situated away from heat  
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other  
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.  
18.Servicing - Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as  
opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous  
voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified  
service personnel.  
CAUTION:TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY

DEGAUSSING  
This television has a degaussing circuit that will clear  
up color errors on the TV screen that are caused by  
any excess magnetism which happens to get too close  
to the TV. This circuit is designed to operate once  
when the set is first plugged in. If minor color  
errors are seen in some locations on the screen,  
please unplug the TV for approximately 30 min-  
utes. When the TV is plugged back in, the degauss-  
ing circuit will operate once to clear them up. Repeat  
this procedure any time the TV screen is accidentally  
magnetized or when the TV is moved or relocated.  
1-2: You may get these captions or text information  
by selecting either “1” or “2”. Caption “2” is usually  
used for a second language if available.  
NOTES:  
Not all programs are broadcast with closed cap-  
tions. Your unit is designed to provide error free  
closed captions from high quality antenna, cable  
and VCR signals. Conversely, poor quality signals  
are likely to result in caption errors or no captions  
at all.
