PRODUCT SAFETY SERVICING GUIDELINES
CAUTION : DO NOT ATTEMPT TO MODIFY THIS PRODUCT IN ANY WAY. NEVER PERFORM CUSTOMIZED INSTALLATIONS WITHOUT MANUFACTURER�S APPROVAL. UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS WILL NOT ONLY VOID THE WARRANTY, BUT MAY LEAD TO YOUR BEING LIABLE FOR ANY RESULTING PROPERTY DAMAGE OR USER INJURY. SERVICE WORK SHOULD BE PERFORMED ONLY AFTER YOU ARE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH ALL OF THE FOLLOWING SAFETY CHECKS AND SERVICING GUIDELINES. TO DO OTHERWISE, INCREASES THE RISK OF POTENTIAL HAZARDS AND INJURY TO THE USER. WHILE SERVICING, USE AN ISOLATION TRANSFORMER FOR PROTECTION FROM AC LINE SHOCK. VOLTAGE MEASURE MUST NOT EXCEED 75 VOLTS R.M.S. THIS CORRESPONDS TO 0.5 MILLIAMP AC ANY VALUE EXCEEDING THIS LIMIT CONSTITUTES A POTENTIAL SHOCK HAZARD AND MUST BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY.

SAFETY CHECKS
AFTER THE ORIGINAL SERVICE PROBLEM HAS BEEN CORRECTED. A CHECK SHOULD BE MADE OF THE FOLLOWING.

SUBJECT : GRAPHIC SYMBOLS
THE LIGHTNING FLASH WITH ARROWHEAD SYMBOL, WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE, IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE USER TO THE PRESENCE OF UNINSULATED �DANGEROUS VOLTAGE� WITHIN THE PRODUCT�S ENCLOSURE THAT MAY BE OF SUFFICIENT MAGNITUDE TO CONSTITUTE A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. THE EXCLAMATION POINT WITHIN AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGLE IS INTENDED TO ALERT THE USER TO THE PRESENCE OF IMPORTANT OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE (SERVICING) INSTRUCTIONS IN THE LITERATURE ACCOMPANYING THE APPLIANCE.

SUBJECT : FIRE & SHOCK HAZARD
1. BE SURE THAT ALL COMPONENTS ARE POSITIONED IN SUCH A WAY AS TO AVOID POSSIBILITY OF ADJACENT COMPONENT SHORTS. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT ON THOSE MODULES WHICH ARE TRANSPORTED TO AND FROM THE REPAIR SHOP. 2. NEVER RELEASE A REPAIR UNLESS ALL PROTECTIVE DEVICES SUCH AS INSULATORS, BARRIERS, COVERS, SHIELDS, STRAIN RELIEFS, POWER SUPPLY CORDS, AND OTHER HARDWARE HAVE BEEN REINSTALLED PER ORIGINAL DESIGN. BE SURE THAT THE SAFETY PURPOSE OF THE POLARIZED LINE PLUG HAS NOT BEEN DEFEATED. 3. SOLDERING MUST BE INSPECTED TO DISCOVER POSSIBLE COLD SOLDER JOINTS, SOLDER SPLASHES OR SHARP SOLDER POINTS. BE CERTAIN TO REMOVE ALL LOOSE FOREIGN PARTICLES. 4. CHECK FOR PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF DAMAGE OR DETERIORATION TO PARTS AND COMPONENTS. FOR FRAYED LEADS, DAMAGED INSULATION (INCLUDING AC CORD). AND REPLACE IF NECESSARY FOLLOW ORIGINAL LAYOUT, LEAD LENGTH AND DRESS. 5. NO LEAD OR COMPONENT SHOULD TOUCH A RECEIVING TUBE OR A RESISTOR RATED AT 1 WATT OR MORE. LEAD TENSION AROUND PROTRUDING METAL SURFACES MUST BE AVOIDED. 6. ALL CRITICAL COMPONENTS SUCH AS FUSES, FLAMEPROOF RESISTORS, CAPACITORS, ETC. MUST BE REPLACED WITH EXACT FACTORY TYPES, DO NOT USE REPLACEMENT COMPONENTS OTHER THAN THOSE SPECIFIED OR MAKE UNRECOMMENDED CIRCUIT MODIFICATIONS. 7. AFTER RE-ASSEMBLY OF THE SET ALWAYS PERFORM AN AC LEAKAGE TEST ON ALL EXPOSED METALLIC PARTS OF THE CABINET, (THE CHANNEL SELECTOR KNOB, ANTENNA TERMINALS. HANDLE AND SCREWS) TO BE SURE THE SET IS SAFET TO OPERATE WITHOUT DANGER OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. DO NOT USE A LINE ISOLATION TRANSFORMER DURING THIS TEST USE AN AC VOLTMETER, HAVING 5000 OHMS PER VOLT OR MORE SENSITIVITY, IN THE FOLLOWING MANNER; CONNECT A 1500 OHM 10 WATT RESISTOR, PARALLELED BY A .15 MFD, 150V AC TYPE CAPACITOR BETWEEN A KNOWN GOOD EARTH GROUND (WATER PIPE, CONDUIT, ETC.) AND THE EXPOSED METALLIC PARTS, ONE AT A TIME. MEASURE THE AC VOLTAGE ACROSS THE COMBINATION OF 1500 OHM RESISTOR AND .15 MFD CAPACITOR. REVERSE THE AC PLUG AND REPEAT AC VOLTAGE MEASUREMENTS FOR EACH EXPOSED METALLIC PART.

SUBJECT : TIPS ON PROPER INSTALLATION
1. NEVER INSTALL ANY PRODUCT IN A CLOSED-IN RECESS, CUBBYHOLE OR CLOSELY FITTING SHELF SPACE. OVER OR CLOSE TO HEAT DUCT, OR IN THE PATH OF HEATED AIR FLOW. 2. AVOID CONDITIONS OF HIGH HUMIDITY SUCH AS: OUTDOOR PATIO INSTALLATIONS WHERE DEW IS A FACTOR, NEAR STEAM RADIATORS WHERE STEAM LEAKAGE IS A FACTOR, ETC. 3. AVOID PLACEMENT WHERE DRAPERIES MAY OBSTRUCT REAR VENTING. THE CUSTOMER SHOULD ALSO AVOID THE USE OF DECORATIVE SCARVES OR OTHER COVERINGS WHICH MIGHT OBSTRUCT VENTILATION. 4. WALL AND SHELF MOUNTED INSTALLATIONS USING A COMMERCAL MOUNTING KIT MUST FOLLOW THE FACTORY APPROVED MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS A PRODUCT MOUNTED TO A SHELF OR PLATFORM MUST RETAIN ITS ORIGINAL FEET (OR THE EQUIVALENT THICKNESS IN SPACERS) TO PROVIDE ADEQUATE AIR FLOW ACROSS THE BOTTOM, BOLTS OR SCREWS USED FOR FASTENERS MUST NOT TOUCH ANY PARTS OR WIRING. PERFORM LEAKAGE TEST ON CUSTOMIZED INSTALLATIONS. 5. CAUTION CUSTOMERS AGAINST THE MOUNTING OF A PRODUCT ON SLOPING SHELF OR A TILTED POSITION, UNLESS THE PRODUCT IS PROPERLY SECURED. 6. A PRODUCT ON A ROLL-ABOUT CART SHOULD BE STABLE ON ITS MOUNTING TO THE CART. CAUTION THE CUSTOMER ON THE HAZARDS OF TRYING TO ROLL A CART WITH SMALL CASTERS ACROSS THRESHOLDS OR DEEP PILE CARPETS. 7. CAUTION CUSTOMERS AGAINST THE USE OF A CART OR STAND WHICH HAS NOT BEEN LISTED BY UNDERWRITERS LABORATORIES, INC. FOR USE WITH THEIR SPECIFIC MODEL OF TELEVISION RECEIVER OR GENERICALLY APPROVED FOR USE WITH T.V.�S OF THE SAME OR LARGER SCREEN SIZE. 8. CAUTION CUSTOMERS AGAINST THE USE OF EXTENSION CORDS, EXPLAIN THAT A FOREST OF EXTENSIONS SPROUTING FROM A SINGLE OUTLET CAN LEAD TO DISASTROUS CONSEQUENCES TO HOME AND FAMILY.
