Important Safeguards 13 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. 14 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in fire or electric shock. 15 Never push objects of any kind into this television equipment 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 television equipment. 16 Do not attempt to service this television equipment yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 17 Unplug this television equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel 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 television equipment. (c) If the television equipment has been exposed to rain or water. (d) If the television equipment does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only 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 TV receiver to its normal operation. (e) If the television equipment has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. (f) When the television equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service. 18 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.
