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 a
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to a person.
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.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-
type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and
a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong
are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit

apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not
operate normally, or has been dropped.
Televisions are designed to comply with the recommended
safety standards for tilt and stability. Do not apply excessive
putling force to the front, or top, of the cabinet which could
cause the product to overturn resulting in product damage
and/or personal injury.
Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting as
recommended by the manufacturer.
An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
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 discharge unit, size of grounding connectors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes and requirements for the grounding electrode.
To the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to
call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-44 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.

plug is used as the disconnect device and shall remain readily operable.
To prevent electric shock, do not use the LCD television's (polarized) plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the
blades and ground terminal can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
Never connect the LCD television to 50 Hz, direct current, or anything other than the specified voltage.
This television's factory default settings as shipped meet ENERGY STAR requirements.
Please see the Energy Options section of this owners guide for more energy saving tips.
