• Accessories–Do not place your TV on an
unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
Your TV may fall, causing serious injury to
someone, 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, follow
the manufacturer's
instructions and use a
mounting accessory
recommended by the
manufacturer. Move a TV and
cart combination with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause your TV and cart
combination to overturn.
• Ventilation–Slots and openings in the
cabinet and the back or bottom are provided
for ventilation and to ensure reliable
operation of your TV and to protect it from
overheating. Do not block openings. Do not
place your TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other
similar surface. Your TV should never be
placed 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 proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been
adhered to.
• Power Sources–Use only the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your TV dealer or local
power company. For TVs intended to operate
from battery power, or other sources, refer to
the operating instructions.
• Grounding or Polarization–Your TV is
equipped with a polarized alternating-current
line plug (a 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.
• Power-cord protection–Route power-supply
cords 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 your TV.
• Outdoor Antenna grounding–If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to your
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 Electrical
Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, 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.
• Lightning–For added protection for your TV
receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is
left unattended and unused for long periods
of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This
will prevent damage to your TV due to
lightning and power-line surges.
• Power Lines–An outside antenna system
should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light of
power circuits, or where it can fall into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system, do not touch power
lines or circuits because contact with them
might be fatal.
• Overloading–Do not overload wall outlets
and extension cords as 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 they 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.
• 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.
• Damage Requiring Service–Unplug your
TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to
qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is
damaged or frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have
fallen into your TV.
• If your TV has been exposed to rain or
water.
