Safety information
Warning: To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade on the power
cord plug to the wide slot on an electric outlet. If the plug does not fit,
consult a licensed electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not
modify the power cord plug, or you will defeat this safety feature.
Warning: Your TV contains a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount
of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated for
environmental reasons. For disposal or recycling information, contact
your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at
www.eia.org.

Follow warnings and instructions
Follow all warnings on your TV and in the operating instructions. Follow
all operating and use instructions.
Water and moisture
Do not use your TV near water. For example, do not use it near a bath
tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near
a swimming pool.
Cleaning
Unplug your TV before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Use only a damp cloth to clean the exterior of your TV.
Note: If your TV requires uninterrupted service for some specific reason,
such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV
converter, ignore the instruction to unplug your TV before cleaning.
Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided
for ventilation, reliable operation, and protection from overheating.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not block the
openings by placing your TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
Do not place your TV near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not
place your TV in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack, unless
you provide correct ventilation or follow the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Heat
Make sure that your TV is located away from heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
Grounding or polarization
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a grounding prong. The wide
blade or grounding prong are provided for your safety. If the plug does
not fit, contact an electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Power cord protection
Route power cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched
by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from your
TV.
Attachments
Do not use attachments not recommended by Dynex because they may
cause hazards.
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.
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.

service personnel under the following conditions:

If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
When your TV exhibits a distinct change in performance.

substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, personal injury, or other
hazards.
