this TV.
• Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands.
• Do not do anything that might damage the power supply
cord.

• Insert the power plug fully into the socket outlet. (If the
power plug is loose, it could generate heat and cause fire.)
• Ensure that the power plug is easily accessible.
• Ensure the earth pin on the power plug is securely
connected to prevent electrical shock.
• An apparatus with CLASS I construction shall be connected to
a power socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
• Do not touch the power plug with a wet hand. (This may
cause electrical shock.)
