PleasereadthefollowingsafeguardsforyourTVandretainforfuturereference.Alwaysfollowallwarningsandinstructions
markedonthetelevision.
1. Read, Retain and Follow All Instructions.ReadallsafetyandoperatinginstructionsbeforeoperatingtheTV.Retainthesafetyandoperating
instructionsforfuturereference.Followalloperatinganduseinstructions.
2. Heed Warnings. Adheretoallwarningsontheapplianceandintheoperatinginstructions.
3. Cleaning. UnplugtheTVfromthewalloutletbeforecleaning.Donotuseliquid,abrasiveoraerosolcleaners.Cleanerscanpermanently
damagethecabinetandscreen.Usealightlydampenedclothforcleaning.
4. Attachments and Equipment. Neveraddanyattachmentsand/orequipmentwithoutapprovalofthemanufacturerassuchadditionsmay
resultintheriskoffire,electricshockorotherpersonalinjury.
5. Water and Moisture. DonotusetheTVwherecontactwithorimmersioninwaterispossible.Donotusenearbathtubs,washbowls,kitchen
sinks,laundrytubs,inawetbasement,swimmingpools,etc.
6. Accessories. DonotplacetheTVonanunstablecart,stand,tripod,ortable.TheTVmayfall,causingseriousinjurytoa
child,adultorpetandseriousdamagetotheTV.Useonlywithacart,stand,tripod,bracketortablerecommendedbythe
manufacturer,orsoldwiththeTV.AnymountingoftheTVshouldfollowthemanufacturer’sinstructions,andshoulduse
mountingaccessoriesrecommendedbythemanufacturer.
Anapplianceandcartcombinationshouldbemovedwithcare.Quickstops,excessiveforce,andunevensurfacesmaycause
theapplianceandcartcombinationtooverturn.
7. Ventilation. SlotsandopeningsinthecabinetareprovidedforventilationandtoensurereliableoperationoftheTVandtoprotectitfrom
overheating.DonotblocktheseopeningsorallowthemtobeobstructedbyplacingtheTVonabed,sofa,rug,orothersimilarsurface.Nor
shoulditbeplacedoveraradiatororheatregister.IftheTVistobeplacedinarackorbookcase,ensurethatthereisadequateventilationand
thatthemanufacturer’sinstructionshavebeenadheredto.
8. Power Source. ThisTVshouldbeoperated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.
9. Grounding or Polarization. This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.Thisisasafetyfeature.Ifyouareunabletoinserttheplugfullyintotheoutlet,tryreversingtheplug.If
theplugshouldstillfailtofit,contactyourelectriciantoreplaceyourobsoleteoutlet.Donotdefeatthesafetypurposeofthepolarizedplug.
10. Power-Cord Protection. Power-supplycordsshouldberoutedsothattheyarenotlikelytobewalkedonorpinchedbyitemsplaceduponor
againstthem,payingparticularattentiontocordsatplugs,conveniencereceptacles,andthepointwheretheyexitfromtheTV.
11. Lightning. ForaddedprotectionforthisTVduringalightningstorm,orwhenitisleftunattendedandunusedforlongperiodoftime,unplugit
fromthewalloutletanddisconnecttheantennaorcablesystem.ThiswillpreventdamagetotheTVduetolightningandpower-linesurges.
12. Power Lines.Anoutsideantennasystemshouldnotbelocatedinthevicinityofoverheadpowerlinesorotherelectriclightorpowercircuits,
orwhereitcanfallintosuchpowerlinesorcircuits.Wheninstallinganoutsideantennasystem,extremecareshouldbetakentokeepfrom
touchingsuchpowerlinesorcircuitsascontactwiththemmightbefatal.
13. Overloading. Donotoverloadwalloutletsandextensioncordsasthiscanresultinariskoffireor
electricshock.
14. Object and Liquid Entry. NeverpushobjectsofanykindintothisTVthroughopeningsasthey
maytouchdangerousvoltagepointsorshort-outpartsthatcouldresultinfireorelectricshock.
NeverspillliquidofanykindonorintotheTV.
15. Outdoor Antenna Grounding. IfanoutsideantennaorcablesystemisconnectedtotheTV,be
suretheantennaorcablesystemisgroundedsoastoprovidesomeprotectionagainstvoltage
surgesandbuilt-upstaticcharges.
Article810oftheNationalElectricCode,ANSI/NFPANo.70-2002,providesinformationwith

anantennadischargeunit,sizeofgroundingconductors,locationofantennadischargeunit,con-
nectiontogroundingelectrodes,andrequirementsforthegroundingelectrode.
16. Servicing. DonotattempttoservicethisTVyourselfasopeningorremovingcoversmayexposeyoutodangerousvoltageorotherhazards.
Referallservicingtoqualifiedservicepersonnel.
17. Damage Requiring Service. UnplugtheTVfromthewalloutletandreferservicingtoqualifiedservicepersonnelunderthefollowing
conditions:
(a) Whenthepower-supplycordorplugisdamaged.
(b) Ifliquidhasbeenspilled,orobjectshavefallenintotheTV.
(c) IftheTVhasbeenexposedtorainorwater.
(d) IftheTVdoesnotoperatenormallybyfollowingtheoperatinginstructions,adjustonlythosecontrolsthatarecoveredbytheoperating
instructionsasanimproperadjustmentofothercontrolsmayresultindamageandwilloftenrequireextensiveworkbyaqualifiedtechni-
ciantorestoretheTVtoitsnormaloperation.
(e) IftheTVhasbeendroppedorthecabinethasbeendamaged.
(f) WhentheTVexhibitsadistinctchangeinperformance-thisindicatesaneedforservice.
18. Replacement Parts. Whenreplacementpartsarerequired,besuretheservicetechnicianhasusedreplacementpartsspecifiedbythe
manufacturerorhavethesamecharacteristicsastheoriginalpart.Unauthorizedsubstitutionsmayresultinfire,electricshockorotherhazards.
19. Safety Check. UponcompletionofanyserviceorrepairtotheTV,asktheservicetechniciantoperformsafetycheckstodeterminethattheTV
isinsafeoperatingcondition.
20. Heat. Theproductshouldbesituatedawayfromheatsourcessuchasradiators,heatregisters,stovesorotherproducts(includingamplifiers)
