Important Safety Instructions

Your HDTV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and misuse

may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your HDTV from being damaged, the following

rules should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your HDTV. Read the

following safety instructions before operating your HDTV. Keep these instructions in a safe place

for future reference.

! To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage,
switch off the power before connecting other components to
your HDTV.
! Unplug the power cord before cleaning your HDTV. Use only a
damp cloth for cleaning your HDTV. Do not use any liquid,
spray, or abrasive cleaners on your HDTV.
! Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer
to insure compatibility.
! When moving your HDTV from an area of low temperature to
an area of high temperature, condensation may form in the
housing. Wait before turning on your HDTV to avoid causing
fire, electric shock, or component damage.
! Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by manufacturer
or sold with your HDTV. When a cart is
used, use caution when moving the
cart/HDTV combination to avoid injury from
tip-over. Do not place your HDTV on an
unstable cart, stand, or table. If your HDTV
falls, it can injure a person and cause
serious damage to your HDTV.
! A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between your
HDTV and any heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven,
amplifier, etc. Do not install or operating your HDTV close to
smoke or moisture as it may cause fire or electric shock.
! Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are
provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of your
HDTV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these
openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your HDTV
in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
! Never push any object into the slots and openings on your
HDTV cabinet. Do not place any objects on the top of your
HDTV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquids on your HDTV.
! Your HDTV should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local
power company.
! Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your HDTV. This may
compromise the integrity of the display. The manufacturer’s
warranty does not cover user abuse or improper installations.
! The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage
than the voltage specified. For more information, contact your
dealer.
! Your HDTV is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug
(a plug with a third grounding pin). This plug will fit only into
a grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If your outlet
does not accommodate the three-pronged plug, have an
electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground
your HDTV safely.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
! When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into
your HDTV. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power
cord.
! The lightning flash with arrowhead
symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the
presence of un-isolated, dangerous
voltage within the inside of your HDTV
that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
! The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of
important operating and servicing
instructions in the literature
accompanying your HDTV.
! Do not overload power strips and
extension cords. Overloading can result
in fire or electric shock.
! The wall socket should be installed near your HDTV and easily
accessible.
! Only power of the specified voltage can be used for your HDTV.
Any other voltage than the specified voltage may cause fire or
electric shock.
! Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric
shock, avoid handling the power cord during electrical storms.
! Unplug your HDTV during a lightning storm or when it will not
be used for long periods of time. This will protect your HDTV
from damage due to power surges.
! Do not attempt to repair or service your HDTV yourself.
Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to high
voltages, electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required,
contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
! Keep your HDTV away from moisture. Do not expose your
HDTV to rain or moisture. If water penetrates into your HDTV,
unplug the power cord and contact your dealer. Continuous use
in this case may result in fire or electric shock.
! Do not use your HDTV if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke
or odor becomes apparent, unplug the power cord and contact
your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your HDTV
yourself.
! Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your HDTV is
dropped and the housing is damaged, the internal components
may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord immediately
and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your
HDTV may cause fire or electric shock.
! Do not install your HDTV in an area with heavy dust or high
humidity. Operating your HDTV in environments with heavy
dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock.
! Follow instructions for moving your HDTV. Ensure that the
power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving
your HDTV.
! When unplugging your HDTV, hold the power plug, not the
cord. Pulling on the power cord may damage the wires inside
the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When your HDTV will
not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power
cord.
! To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with
wet hands.
! Insert batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect
polarities may cause the batteries to leak which can damage
the remote control or injure the operator.
! If any of the following occurs, contact the dealer:
o The power cord fails or frays.
o Liquid sprays or any object drops into your HDTV.
o Your HDTV is exposed to rain or other moisture.
o Your HDTV is dropped or damaged in any way.
o The performance of your HDTV changes substantially.
