AC power outlet
• The TV set with a three-wire grounding
type AC power plug must be connected to
a AC power outlet with a protective
earthing connection.

deteriorate and result in a fire.
Overloading

When not in use
• If you will not be using the TV
set for several days, the TV set
should be disconnected from
the AC power outlet for
environmental and safety reasons.
