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).
Follow the instructions below:
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 should still fail 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.
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.
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
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, 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.
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.
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.
• Never block the slots and openings by
placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other
similar surface.
