BEFORE OPERATION
Power Sources-The TV set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the TV set or
as indicated in the Operation Manual. If you are not sure of the type of power supply in your home, consult your
sales person or your local power company. For TV sets designed to operate from battery power, or other
sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization - Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third
grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit
into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Alternate Warnings-This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
Water and Moisture Warnings-Do not use the TV set near water-for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like. The TV set shall not be
exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the TV set.
Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the
TV set and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings
should never be blocked by placing the TV set on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This TV set should
not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.
Heat - Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Power-Cord Protection-Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Accessories-Do not place the TV set on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV set may fall,
causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the TV set. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or accessory recommended by the manufacturer, or sold
with the TV set, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause the TV set and cart combination to overturn.
Overloading- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in fire or electric shock.
Lightning-For added protection for this TV set during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
Object and Liquid Entry-Never push objects of any kind into the TV set through openings as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the TV set.
Precautions (continued)
Cleaning-Unplug the TV set from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing it. Do not use liquid cleaners or
aerosol cleaners. Use a dry cloth for cleaning the exterior of the TV set.
