IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

For your protection, please read these instructions completely, and
keep this manual for future reference. Carefully observe and
comply with all warnings, cautions and instructions placed on the
set, or described in the operating instructions or service manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions
should be observed in the installation, use, and servicing of the set.
Use

Power Sources

This set should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the
serial/model plate. If you are not sure of the
type of electrical power supplied to your
home, consult your dealer or local power
company. For those sets designed to
operate from battery power, refer to the
operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire
grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding).
Refer to the following instructions:
For the set with a polarized AC power cord plug
This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into
the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the
plug still fails to fit, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Alternate Warning
For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-
type power outlet. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug into the
outlet, contact your electrician to have a
suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall
outlets, extension cords
or convenience
receptacles beyond their
capacity, since this can
result in fire or electric
shock. Always turn the
set off when it is not to be used. When the set is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
as a precaution against the possibility of an internal malfunction
that could create a fire hazard.
Do not disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a heavy
storm. Lightning may strike while you are holding the cable or
cord, causing serious injury. Turn off your TV and wait for the
weather to improve.
Object and Liquid Entry
Never push objects of any kind into the set
through the cabinet slots as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquid of any kind on the set.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by
the manufacturer, as they may cause hazards.
Do not place any objects, especially heavy
objects, on top of the set. The object may fall
from the set, causing injury.
Cleaning
Unplug the set from the wall outlet before
cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid
cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a cloth lightly
dampened with water for cleaning the exterior
of the set.
If a snapping or popping sound from a TV set is
continuous or frequent while the TV is operating,
unplug the TV and consult your dealer or service
technician. It is normal for some TV sets to make
occasional snapping or popping sounds,
particularly when being turned on or off.
Installation
Always use two or more people to lift or move the set. The set is
heavy and the bottom surface is flat. Serious injury can result
from trying to move the set by yourself alone, or from unsteady
handling.
Install the set on a stable, level surface.
Water and Moisture
Do not use power-line operated
sets near water — for example,
near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a
wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, etc.
Accessories
Do not place the set on an
unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, table, or
shelf. The set may fall,
causing serious injury to
a child or an adult, and
serious damage to the set.
Use only a cart or stand
recommended by the manufacturer for the specific model of TV. Any
mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer's
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by
the manufacturer. An appliance and cart combination should be
moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
Disconnect all cables and cords from the set before attempting to
move the set.
Do not allow children or pets to climb up onto, or push against, the
set. The set may fall, causing serious injury.
Ventilation
The slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom
are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable
operation of the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots
and openings must never be blocked or covered.
• Never cover the slots and openings with
a cloth or other materials.
