convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination
to avoid injury from tip­over.

of time.

apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
• CAUTION: Always use a power outlet that is properly grounded.
• Unplug this TV during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• 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 TV 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.

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.

magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
