Safety Instructions (Cont.)
IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
• Only connect this TV to a mains socket with a protective earthing connection.
• To prevent damage which may result in fire or an electric shock hazard, do not expose this
appliance to rain or moisture.
• Do not change or modify the appliance in any way.
• Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
• Voltage: Before installing this TV set, make sure your outlet voltage corresponds to the voltage
stated on the TV's rating label.
• Protect from moisture: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this TV to rain
or moisture; do not use it anywhere near water; do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
• Damage: Do not use a damaged power cord, plug or loose outlet. Doing so may cause an
electric shock.
• Power outlet: Do not plug several devices into the same outlet. Doing so may cause the outlet
to overheat and start a fire. Make sure the outlet is properly earthed and readily accessible
during operation of the equipment.
• Power plug: Make sure the plug is properly installed before inserting it fully into the outlet. A
loose or improperly inserted power plug may cause a fire. The mains plug is used as the power
disconnect device and shall remain readily accessible and operable.
• Protect the cord: Do not bend, twist or kink the power cord excessively. Do not allow anything
to rest on or roll over the power cord and antenna cable. Doing so may cause a fire or an
electric shock. Do not run the power cord near heat-producing appliances such as radiators,
stoves or irons. The excessive heat could melt the insulation and expose live wires, resulting in
fire or electric shock.
• Disconnect: Always grasp the plug when disconnecting the power cord. Pulling the cord can
damage the internal wire and may cause a fire.
• Disconnect device: Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect
device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
Installation
• Follow instructions: Only install this TV set in accordance with these instructions.
• Location: This TV is designed for indoor, fixed location use only. It must not be used in portable
or mobile applications as vibration or excessive forces may damage the unit.
• When deciding on where to put the TV set, make sure the place is:
• Well ventilated, and away from damp and cold.
• Protected from overheating and away from direct sunlight. (Total darkness or a reflection
on the picture screen can cause eyestrain. Soft and indirect lighting is recommended for
comfortable viewing.)
• Away from moisture drips or splashes.
• Protected from excessive dust or grease.
• This TV is equipped with standard wall-mounting points, and we recommend that a wall
bracket should be installed between the TV and the wall to prevent the TV from falling
from a cabinet. (The bracket is not included.)
