Cable TV Installer: This reminder is provided to call your attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code (Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground should be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical. Important: This television is a table model and is designed to sit on a firm, flat surface. Don't place the TV on soft carpeting or a similar surface, as the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit may be blocked, resulting in reduced lifetime from overheating. To assure adequate ventilation for this product, maintain a spacing of 4 inches from the top and sides of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces. Also, make sure the surface or stand is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the TV. Refer to the Important Safety Instructions on the next page. The power button (followed by the power symbol) on this TV and your remote control puts the TV into a very low-power standby mode but will not completely shut the power off. In order to shut the power off, you will need to disconnect the power cord from your outlet. Therefore, you should make sure the TV is installed in a way that allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.
