Important Safety Precautions

Only for the model with P-clip
• Never drape a newspaper, tablecloth or curtain on the TV.
• When installing the TV against a wall, always keep the TV at least
10cm away from the wall.
• Never place the TV on a soft unstable surface, such as a carpet, or a
cushion.
The inside of this TV will overheat if the ventilation holes are covered,
blocked or sealed, which may result in a fire.
7. Never place the TV near a heater or in direct sunlight.
The surface of the cabinet or power cord may melt and result in a fire
or an electric shock.
8. Never place the TV in an area exposed to high humidity levels,
such as in a bathroom or close to a humidifier.
This may cause a fire or an electric shock.
9. Never place the TV next to a stove where it will be exposed to oil,
smoke, or steam, or in a location where there is a large quantity of
dust.
This may cause a fire or an electric shock.
10. Precautions for moving the TV.
• When moving the TV, be sure to remove the plug from the wall
outlet and disconnect the aerial cable and audio/video cables, any
steady ties and mounting screw. A fire or an electric shock may
result if the power cord is damaged.
• When carrying the TV, at least two people are needed. Be sure to
carry it upright.
• Never carry the TV with the screen facing up or down.
11. Precautions for installing on outdoor aerial.
An outside aerial system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines, or other electric light or power circuits.
If the aerial falls down or drops, it may cause an injury or an electric
shock.
Use
1. Never place hot objects or open flame sources, such as lighted
candles or nightlights, on or close to the TV.
High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.
2. The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and
that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed
on the apparatus.
When liquids are spilled or small items are dropped inside the TV, this
may cause a fire or an electric shock.
If small objects drop inside the TV, turn off the TV and remove the
power plug from the outlet immediately and contact a service
technician.
3. Never insert objects (metal or paper) or pour water inside the TV
through ventilation holes and other openings.
These items may cause a fire or an electric shock. If these objects are
inserted inside the TV, turn off the TV and remove the power plug
from the outlet immediately and contact a service technician. Be
especially careful that children do not insert objects in the TV.
4. When the TV will not be used for a long period of time, such as
during vacation or travel, remove the power plug from the wall
outlet for safety.
The TV is not completely disconnected from the power supply line, as
minute current is consumed even when the Power switch is turned off.
The Mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect
device, therefore the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
