Safety information

Mains lead
• Observe the followings
to prevent the mains
lead being damaged.
If the mains lead is
damaged, it may result
in a fire or an electric
shock.
– When you disconnect the mains
lead, disconnect it from the
mains socket first.
– Be sure to grasp the plug when
disconnecting the mains lead.
Do not pull on the mains lead
itself.
– Do not pinch, bend, or twist the
mains lead excessively. The core
conductors may be exposed or
broken.
– Do not modify the mains lead.
– Do not put anything heavy on the mains lead.
– Keep the mains lead away from heat sources.
• If you damage the mains lead, stop using it and ask your
dealer or Sony service centre to exchange it.
• Do not use the supplied mains lead on any other
equipment.
• Use only an original Sony mains lead, not other brands.
Mains socket
Do not use a poor fitting mains socket. Insert
the plug fully into the mains socket. A poor
fit may cause arcing and result in a fire.
Contact your electrician to have the mains
socket changed.
Cleaning the mains plug
Unplug the mains plug and clean it
regularly. If the plug is covered with dust
and it picks up moisture, its insulation
may deteriorate and result in a fire.
Overloading
This TV set is designed to operate
on a 220–240 V AC supply only.
Take care not to connect too many
appliances to the same mains
socket as this could result in fire or
electric shock.
When not in use
• If you will not be using the TV
set for several days, the TV set
should be disconnected from
the mains for environmental
and safety reasons.
• The TV set is not disconnected from the mains when the
TV set is switched off. To disconnect the TV set
completely, pull the plug from the mains. However, some
TV sets may have features which need the TV set to be left
in standby to work correctly. The instructions in this
manual will inform you if this applies.
Carrying
• Before carrying the TV set, disconnect all the cables from
the TV set.
• When you carry the TV set by hand,
hold the TV set as illustrated on the
right. When lifting the TV set or
moving the panel of the TV set, hold
it firmly from the bottom. If you do
not do so, the TV set may fall and be
damaged or cause serious injury.
• When transporting it, do not subject
the TV set to jolts or excessive
vibration. The TV set may fall and be
damaged or cause serious injury.
• If the TV set has been dropped or
damaged, have it checked
immediately by qualified service
personnel.
• When you carry the TV set in for repair or when you move
it, pack it using the original carton and packing material.
Placement
• The TV set should be installed near an easily accessible
mains socket.
• Place the TV set on a stable, level
surface. Do not hang anything on the
TV set. If you do, the TV set may fall
from the stand, causing damage or
serious injury.
• Do not install the TV set in places
subject to extreme temperature, for
example in direct sunlight, or near a
radiator, or heating vent. If the TV set is
exposed to extreme temperature, the
TV set may overheat and cause
deformation of the casing or cause the
TV set to malfunction.
• Do not install the TV set in a place exposed to direct air
conditioning. If the TV set is installed in such a location,
moisture may condense inside and may cause a
malfunction.
• Never place the TV set in hot, oily,
humid or excessively dusty places.
• Do not install the TV set where
insects may enter.
• Do not install the TV set where it
may be exposed to mechanical
vibration.
• Do not install the TV set in a location where it may
protrude, such as on or behind a pillar, or where you might
bump your head on it. Otherwise, it may result in injury.
• Do not allow children to climb on
the TV set.
• If you use the TV set near the
seashore, salt may corrode metal
parts of the TV set and cause
internal damage or fire.
