FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY
1. This television set is equipped with
a polarized alternating-current line
plug (a plug having one blade wider
than the other). 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 replace
your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.

damaged or frayed, unplug the
television set from the wall outlet
and refer servicing to qualified
service personnel.

extension cords as this can result in
