To c,,_u_c that plctmc ,_clccn pcrlormancc is of the highest quality, avoid rubbing any object t)l material on tile sclccn that could scJatcl_or damage its surface.When cleaning the TV screen take care not to scratch or damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything abrasive).Please see the directions in the Cleaning and Care section of this manual for further details.

CAUTION: A video source (such as a video game, Compact Disc Interactive - CDI, or TV information channel) which shows a constantnon-moving pattern on the TV screen, can cause picture tube damage. When your TV is continuously used with such a source the patternof the non-moving portion of the game (CDI, etc.) could leave an image permanently on the picture tube. When not in use, turn the videosource OFF. Regularly alternate the use of such video sources with normal TV viewing.

If an outside antenna is connected to the television

receiver, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as

to provide some protection 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 electrodes, and requirements

for the grounding electrode.

NOTE: It is essential that any TV signal lines that areto enter the home be grounded at the exact same pointas the power service grounding. This appliesregardless of any other grounding to those systems.

NOTE to CATV System Installer:This reminder is provided to call the CATV systeminstaller's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that

provides guidelines for proper grounding and, inparticular, specifies that the cable ground shall beconnected to the grounding system of the building asclose to the point of cable entry as practical.
