Introduction
5)When the TV will not be used for a long period of time, such as during vacation or travel, remove the power plug from the wall outlet for safety.
•The TV is not completely disconnected from the power supply line, as minute current is consumed even when the Power switch is turned off.
•The Mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, therefore the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
