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.

2.When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed, unplug the television from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

3.Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.

4.Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the television where the power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard.
