particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the manu-
facturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when
moving the cart/apparatus combination to
avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been dam-
aged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen
into apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or
moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
15. Televisions are designed to comply with the recommend-
ed safety standards for tilt and stability.
Do not apply excessive pulling force to the front, or top, of
the cabinet which could cause the product to overturn
resulting in product damage and/or personal injury.
16. Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as
recommended by the manufacturer.
17. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
18. If an outside antenna is connected to the 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 Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides information with
respect to proper grounding for the mast and supporting
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna dis-
charge unit, size of grounding connectors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec-
trodes and requirements for the grounding electrode.
Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is pro-
vided 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.

PREVENTION OF SCREEN BURN
This Wide Screen TV is designed to display wide screen pictures. Images should be viewed mostly in wide screen format or
zoomed to fill the screen with moving pictures. Use of side panels, top and bottom panels of standard picture formats should only
be 15% of your total viewing time to prevent uneven aging of the phosphors. Phosphors in the lighted area of the picture will age
more rapidly than the gray areas. Continuous on-screen displays such as video games, stock market quotations, computer gen-
erated graphics, and other fixed (non-moving) patterns can cause permanent damage to television receivers. Such "SCREEN
BURNS" constitute misuse and are NOT COVERED by your HITACHI Factory Warranty.
