Samsung PLH403W - PLH - 403W Instruction Manual page 5

• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV is equipped with a polarized alternating
current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one
way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not
fit, contact an electrician to replace your outlet.
• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won't be walked on or pinched
by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the unit.
• Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or
when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit from
lightning and power-line surges.
• Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of overhead
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits.
When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines or
circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.
• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points or
damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV.
• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides
information about proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors,
location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
• Do not attempt to service the TV yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug the unit
from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel when:
- The power-supply cord or plug is damaged
- Liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit
- The TV has been exposed to rain or water
- The TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions
- The TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
- The TV exhibits a distinct degradation in performance
- When the LAMP(BULB ONLY) replacement is needed
If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions.
Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified
technician to restore the TV to normal.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.
• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV, ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in a safe operating condition.
