Safety Instructions
Always be careful when using your LCD TV. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other
injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and
maintaining your machine.
•Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your LCD TV.
•Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
•Heed all warnings on the LCD TV and in the operating instructions.
•Follow all operating and use instructions.
•Unplug the LCD TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners.
•Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions
can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.
•Do not use the LCD TV where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bath
tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.
•Do not place the LCD TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table where it can fall. A falling LCD TV can cause serious injury to a
child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a
cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer
or sold with the LCD TV. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when
mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended
by the manufacturer. Move the LCD TV and cart with care. Quick
stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and cart
unsteady and likely to overturn.
•Provide ventilation for the LCD TV. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to
protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the LCD
TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you
place the LCD TV on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you’ve
followed the manufacturer’s instructions for mounting.
•Operate your LCD TV only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or
local power company.
•Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this LCD TV is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power
outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug.
If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
•Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won’t be walked on or
pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.
•Unplug the LCD TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a
lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent
damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges.
