8 Setting Up the TV
• Do not place the TV in an area subject to vibration.
• Do not place the TV or the remote control on top of or near heat-producing equipment
or in a hot location.
• Do not operate the TV in an area with high temperatures or humidity, or where large
amounts of dust are present.
• Leave at least 12 inches (30 cm) of room around the vents on the sides of the TV and do
not block the vents. They provide ventilation and prevent the TV from overheating.
• Do not use the TV in temperatures outside of the range of 41 to 95 °F (5 to 35 °C).
• Do not store the TV in temperatures outside the range of 14 to 140 °F (–10 to 60 °C).
• If you place the TV in a permanent installation near a wall, secure the TV to the wall
using screws and steel wire connected to the two screw holes on the top rear of the TV.
Plugging the TV Into an Electrical Outlet
• Use only the type of power source indicated on the TV. If you are not sure of the power
available, consult your dealer or power company.
• Place the TV near a wall outlet where the power cord can be easily unplugged.
• Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles. This
can cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug (two blades, with one wider than
the other). Connect the plug only to a compatible outlet where you can fully insert the
plug to prevent exposure of the plug blades. If you are unable to insert the plug fully, try
reversing the plug. If the provided plug does not fit your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the outlet.
• Do not place the TV where the power cord can be walked on. This may result in fraying
or damage to the plug.
• Take the following precautions when plugging in the TV. Failure to comply with these
precautions could result in sparks, fire, or electric shock: Do not insert the plug into an
outlet with dust present. Do not insert the plug with wet hands. Insert the plug firmly
into the outlet.
• Unplug the TV during lightning storms or when it will not be used for extended periods.
• Unplug the TV from the wall outlet before cleaning.
• Pull on the plug housing to unplug the power cord; do not pull on the cord.
