Our reputation has been built on the quality, performance, and ease of service of HITACHI television receivers. Safety is also foremost in our minds in the design of these units. To help you operate these products properly, this section illustrates safety tips which will be of benefit to you. Please read it carefully and apply the knowledge you obtain from it to the proper operation of your HITACHI television receiver. Please fill out your warranty card and mail it at once to HITACHI. This will enable HITACHI to notify you promptly in the improbable event that a safety problem should be discovered in your product model. FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY 1 This television 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. 2 When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed, unplug this television set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel. 3 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock. 4 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the television where the power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard. 5 Do not attempt to service this television set yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS -5- 6 Never push objects of any kind into this television set through cabinet slots 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 set. 7 If the television has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged, unplug this television set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel. 8 If liquid has been spilled into this television set, unplug it from the wall outlet and refer service to qualified service personnel. 9 Do not subject your television to impact of any kind. Be particularly careful not to damage the picture tube surface. 10 Unplug this television from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. 11-1 Do not place the television on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The television may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the television. Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer's instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer. 11-2 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. PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR SET 12 Do not use this television near water, for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc. · Never expose the television to rain or water. If the set has been exposed to rain or water, unplug the set from the wall outlet and refer servicing personnel. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS -6- 13 Choose a place where light (artificial or sunlight) does not shine directly on the screen. 14 Avoid dusty places, since accumulated dust inside the chassis may cause failure of the set when high humidity persists. 15 The television has slots, or openings in the cabinet for ventilation purposes, to provide reliable operation of the receiver, and to protect from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. · Never cover the slots or openings with cloth or other material. · Never block the bottom ventilation slots of the set by placing it on a bed, sofa, rug, etc. · Never place the set near or over a radiator or heat register. · Never place the set in a "built-in" enclosure, unless proper ventilation provided. PROTECTION AND LOCATION OF YOUR SET 16-1 If an outside antenna is connected to the television set, be sure the antenna system is protected against voltage surges and built up static charges, Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, NFPA No. 70-1975, 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 electrode, and requirements for the grounding electrode. Click to see antenna grounding diagram. 16-2 Note to CATV system installer: (Only for television with CATV reception) This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. 17 An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical lights 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. IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS -7- 18 For added protection for the television 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. This will prevent damage due to lightning and power-line surges. OPERATION OF YOUR SET 19 This television 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 supply at your home, consult your television dealer or local power company. For television sets designed to operate from battery power, refer to the operating instructions. 20 If the television does not operate normally by following the operating instructions, unplug this set television set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel. Adjust only those controls that are covered in 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 television set to normal operation. 21 If your television is to remain unused for a period of time, (such as when going on a holiday), turn the television OFF and unplug it from the wall outlet. IF THE TELEVISION DOES NOT OPERATE PROPERLY 22 If you are unable to restore normal operation by following the detailed procedure in your operating instructions, do not attempt any further adjustment. Unplug the television and call your dealer or service technician. 23 Whenever the television is damaged or fails, or a distinct change in performance indicates a need for service, unplug the set and have it checked by a professional service technician. 24 It is normal for some televisions to make occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly when being turned on or off. If the snapping or popping is continuous or frequent, unplug the set and consult your dealer or service technician. FOR SERVICING AND MODIFICATION Introduction -8- 25 Do not use attachments not recommended by the television set manufacturer as they may cause hazards. 26 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.
