Your TV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits. Misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent
your TV from being damaged, the following instructions should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your TV.
Read the following safety instructions before operating your TV. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting other components to your TV.
• Read these instructions.
• Keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
• Clean only with a dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized 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 into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where
they exit from the apparatus.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally or has been dropped.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your TV.
• When moving your TV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form in the housing.
Wait before turning on your TV to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.
• A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your TV and any heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven,
amplifier etc. Do not install your TV close to smoke. Operating your TV close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or electric
shock.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of your TV
and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your TV in a bookcase or
cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your TV cabinet. Do not place any objects on the top of your TV. Doing so
could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your TV.
• Your TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
• Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your TV. This may compromise the integrity of the display. The manufacturer's
warranty does not cover user abuse or improper installations.
• The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified. For more information, contact your
dealer.
• When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your TV. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.
• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
un-isolated, dangerous voltage within the inside of your TV that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric
shock to persons.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• The wall socket should be installed near your TV and easily accessible.
• Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your TV. Any other voltage than the specified voltage may cause fire or
electric shock.
• Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric shock, avoid handling the power cord during electrical storms.
• Unplug your TV during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect your TV from
damage due to power surges.
• Do not attempt to repair or service your TV yourself. Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to high voltages,
electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required, contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• WARNING: Keep your TV away from moisture. Do not expose your TV to rain or moisture. If water penetrates into your TV, unplug
the power cord and contact your dealer. Continuous use in this case may result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use your TV if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent, unplug the power cord and contact your
dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your TV yourself.
• Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your TV is dropped and the housing is damaged, the internal components may
function abnormally. Unplug the power cord immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your TV may cause
fire or electric shock.
• Do not install your TV in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your TV in environments with heavy dust or high
humidity may cause fire or electric shock.
• Follow instructions for moving your TV. Ensure that the power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving your TV.
• When unplugging your TV, hold the AC/DC power adapter, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord may damage the wires inside
the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When your TV will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.
• Insert batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarities may cause the batteries to leak which can damage the
remote control or injure the operator. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
