1.3 - Opening the Package
•The VIZIO P42 is packaged in a carton together with other standard accessories. Any optional accessories are packed separately in another carton.
•The weight of the Plasma Display is approximately 85 lbs. Due to the size and weight of the product, it is recommended that it be handled by a minimum of 2 persons.
•The protective glass and the glass substrate are installed on the front of the product. Since both glasses can be easily scratched or broken, please handle the product gently. Never place the unit on a surface with the glass facing downwards unless it is on protective padding.

When an extension cord is required, use one with the correct power rating. The cord must be grounded and the grounding feature must not be defeated.
•The product should be installed on a flat surface to avoid tipping. Space should be maintained between the back of the product and the wall for proper ventilation. See Section 3.2 - Preparing the Plasma for Wall Mounting, p. 25, for additional information.
•Avoid installing the product in the kitchen, bathroom or other places with high humidity dust or smoke, so as not to shorten the service life of the electronic components.
