AC Power Supply Cord
The Plasma TV is designed to operate on 120 V AC, 60 Hz. Securely insert the power cord plug as far as it will go.
If the plug is not fully inserted, heat may be generated which could cause fire. If the plug is damaged or the wall socket plate is loose, they should not be used.

Do not use any power cord other than that provided with this TV. 
Doing so may cause fire or electric shocks.
Do not handle the power cord plug with wet hands. 
Doing so may cause electric shocks.
Do not do anything that might damage the power cord. When disconnecting the power cord, hold the plug, not the cord.
Do not make any modifications to, place heavy objects on, place near hot objects, heat, bend, twist or forcefully pull the power cord. Doing so may cause damage to the power cord which can cause fire or electric shock. If damage to the cord is suspected, have it repaired at an Authorized Service Center.

If the unit falls over or becomes damaged through misuse, injury may result.
The TV will still consume some power as long as the power cord is inserted into the wall outlet.
