Ventilation

The slots and openings in the TV are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the set, and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

Unless proper ventilation is provided, the unit may gather dust and get dirty. For proper ventilation, Observe the following:

sDo not install the unit turned backward or sideways.

sDo not install the unit turned over or upside down.

sNever cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

sNever block the slots and openings by placing the set on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

sNever place the set in a confined space, such as a bookcase or built-in cabinet, unless proper ventilation is provided.

sDo not place the set near or over a radiator or heat register, or where it is exposed to direct sunlight.

Ventilation

Leave some space around the unit. Otherwise, adequate air-circulation may be blocked causing overheating and cause fire or damage the unit.

Never install the unit as follows:

Air circulation is blocked.

Outdoor use

Do not install this unit outdoors. If the unit is exposed to rain, it may result in fire or electric shock. If the unit is exposed to direct sunlight, the unit may heat up and it may damage the unit.

Vehicle and ceiling

Do not install this unit in a vehicle or hung from the ceiling.

Bumping of the vehicle may cause the set to fall down and cause injury.

Ship and vessel

Do not install this unit in a ship or vessel. If the unit is exposed to seawater, it may cause fire or damage the unit.

Carrying

Carrying the set requires two or more people.

If you carry the set in a manner other than that specified, it may drop and a serious injury may be caused. Be sure two or more people carry the set.

When transporting, do not subject the set to shocks or vibration, or excessive force. The set may fall and be damaged, causing serious injury.

AC power cord

Unplug the AC power cord when moving the set.

Do not move the set with the AC power cord plugged in. It may damage the AC power cord and result in fire or electric shock.

Fall

The unit may fall from the stand or wall mount unit, causing damage or serious injury.

Power-Cord Protection

Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the set where the power cord is subject to wear or abuse.

Antennas

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits.

WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in USA and Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
