Important Safeguards

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference. (2) This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation. This television receiver provides display of television closed captioning in accordance with 15.119 of the FCC rules.
CAUTION - TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, MATCH WIDE BLADE OF PLUG TO WIDE SLOT, FULLY INSERT. WARNING - TO REDUCE RISK OF FIRE OF SHOCK HAZARD, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS RECEIVER TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
Always be careful when using your product. To reduce the risk of fire electrical shock and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using and maintaining your machine. Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your product. Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference. Heed all warnings on the product receiver and in the operating instructions. Follow all operating and use instructions. Unplug the product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock or other personal injury. Do not use the product where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bathtubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools etc. Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table where it can fall. A falling product can cause serious injury to a child or adult and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Follow the manufacturers instructions when mounting the unit and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the product and cart with care. Quick stops, excessive force and uneven surfaces can make the unit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn. Provide ventilation for the product. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object and do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the product on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that youve followed the manufacturers instructions for mounting.
Operate your product 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. Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this product is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they wont be walked on or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles and the point where they exit from the unit. Unplug the product from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightening and power-line surges. Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed 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, be extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal. Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock. Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product. Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna is connected to the product, be sure the antenna 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 about 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.
