 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
1. READ INSTRUCTIONS
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the unit is operated.
2. RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS
The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. HEED WARNINGS
All warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
AH operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. CLEANING
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
Use a clamp cloth for cleaning.
6. ATTACHMENTS
Do not use attachments not recommended by the unit's manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE
Do not use this unit near water. For example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
8, ACCESSORIES PORTABLE CART WARNING
(symbol provided by RETAC)
Do not place this unit on an unstable carl stand, tdpod, bracket, or
table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury, and serious damage
to the unit. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer.
8A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops,
excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
9. VENTILATION $3126A
Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure
reliable operation of the unit, and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or
covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar
surface. This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat source. This unit 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 unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are not
sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For
units intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the respective pages on this Owner's
Manual for their operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION
This unit is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the
other). This plug witl 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. Instead of the polarized alternating-current line plug, your unit may be
equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug (a plug having a third (grounding) pin). This plug will only fit into
a grounding-type power outlet. This too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
12. POWER-CORD PROTECTION
Power-supply cords should be routed so that 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. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit from 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.

31
 IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
14. POWER LINES
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or ether electric
_ight or power circuits, or where it can fal_ onto or against such power _ines 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.
15, OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or e_ectric shock.
16, OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do net push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short
out parts that could result in fire or e_eetric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
17, 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 protection against vottage surges and buitt-up static charges, Section 810
of the National Electrica( Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 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.
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 air servicing to qualified service personnel
For example:
a. When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged.
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 operating instructions. Adjust 0nly those controls
that are covered by the operating instructions, as an 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.
e. If the unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, this indicates a need for service.
19, REPLACEMENT PARTS
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.
20, SAFETY CHECK
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this unit, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to
determine that the unit is in proper operating condition.
21. WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING
The product should be mounted to a wail or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
22, HEAT

$ turbat ce$
Most types of television interference can be remedied by adiusting the height and position of the VHF/UHF antenna.
Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television interference are shown below.
If one of these symptoms appear when the unit is connected to a Cable TV system, the disturbance may be caused by the
Ioc_( Cab(e TV company broadcast.

GHOSTS
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct
path and the other is reflected by taU buildings, hills or other large objects.
Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the recept)oe.

SNOW
[f the TV/VCR/DVD is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception area
where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture.
ff the signal is exlremely weak, the installation of a larger extema} antenna may
be necessary.

PICTURE SIZE VARIATION

A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or
BRIGHTNESS settings.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

To prevent fire or shock hazard, disconnect the unit from the power source before cleaning.
The finish on the eebir_et may be cleaned with mild soap and a so_t, damp cloth and cared for as other fumilure. Use caution
when cleaning or wiping the plastic parts.
