•
•
Secure antenna lead-in and ground wires to house with stand-off insulators spaced
from 4-6 feet (1.22 -1.83 m) apart.
Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where lead-in enters
house.

•
Use jumper wire not smaller than No. 6 AWG (13.3 mm ) copper, or the equivalent,
when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. See ANSI/NFPA70.
• An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead 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.
• For added protection for the TV during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect it
from the antenna or cable system. This prevents damage to the TV due to lightning
and power line surges.

Polarized AC plug (one blade is
wider than the other.)
Warning:
- Never connect the AC plug to other than the specified voltage (120V 60 Hz). Use the
attached power cord only.
- If the polarized AC cord does not fit into a non-polarized AC outlet, do not file or cut the
blade. It is your responsibility to have an electrician replace the obsolete outlet.
Note: If you cause a static discharge when touching the TV and the TV fails to work, unplug
the TV from the AC outlet, then plug it back in. The TV should work normally.
Installing batteries in the remote control
Before using the remote control, you must install batteries. Use two AAA size batteries. The
batteries may last about one year depending on how much the remote control is used. For
best performance, we recommend the batteries should be replaced on a yearly basis, or
when the remote control operation becomes erratic. Do not mix old and new batteries or
different types of batteries.
Setting up your TV
11
To install batteries in the remote control:
1
Open the battery compartment cover.
2
3
Install two AAA batteries (not supplied). Make sure that the + and – symbols on the
batteries match the + and – symbols in the battery compartment.
Close the battery compartment cover.
Battery precautions
Follow these precautions when using batteries in this remote control:
• Use only the size and type of batteries specified.
• Make sure to follow the correct polarity when installing the batteries as indicated in
the battery compartment. Reversed batteries may damage the device.
• Do not mix different types of batteries together (such as alkaline and carbon-zinc) or
old batteries with fresh ones.
• If the remote control is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries to
prevent damage or injury from possible battery leakage.
• Do not try to recharge batteries that are not intended to be recharged. These batteries
can overheat and rupture (follow battery manufacturer's directions).

programming, such as a radio or news broadcast.
For example, if the main channel number is 8, the sub-channel number might be 8-1, 8-2, or
8-3.
To select a sub-channel:

Displaying closed captions
This TV has the capability to decode and display closed captioned TV programs. Closed
captioning displays text on the screen for hearing-impaired viewers or translates and
displays text in another language.
Closed captions are usually displayed in Captions mode or Text mode. Captions mode usually
displays captions for the program’s audio language. CC1 usually displays English. CC2 usually
displays a secondary language. Text mode usually displays other types of information, such
as a program schedule.
Notes:
- If the program or video you select is not closed-captioned, no captions display on-screen.
- If text is not available in your viewing area, a black rectangle may appear on-screen. If
this happens, set the closed caption feature to OFF.
- When selecting closed captions, the captioning delays about ten seconds.
- If no caption signal is received, no captions appear, but the TV remains in the caption
mode.
- Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during closed captioning.
This is normal with closed captioning, especially with live programs. This is because
during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow
time for editing.
- When captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute, may
be seen but may interfere with closed captions.
- Some cable TV systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the closed
captioned signal.
- If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the closed caption decoder may
not appear or may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case,
adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.
