Important safety instructions | 5 |
Stand
Do not place your TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. Your TV may fall, causing serious personal injury and serious damage to your
TV. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with your TV. If you mount your TV to the wall,
follow the manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Your TV and cart combination should
be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause your TV and cart combination to overturn.
Lightning
For added protection for your TV’s receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This helps prevent damage to your TV from lightning and power line surges.
Servicing
Do not attempt to service your TV yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Overloading
Do not overload power outlets and extension cords because this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
Object and liquid entry
Never push objects of any kind into your TV through openings because objects 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 your TV.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, personal injury, or other hazards.
Damage requiring service
Unplug your TV from the power outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
•When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
•If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your TV.
•If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.
•If your TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions because incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your TV to its normal operation.
•If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
•When your TV exhibits a distinct change in performance.
