INSTALLATION
1 Operate the TV set only from a power source as indicated on the TV set or refer to the
operating instructions for this information. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to
your home, consult your TV set dealer or local power company. For battery operation, refer
to the operating instructions.
2 Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous, and so are frayed power cords
and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service technician for
replacement.
3 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not place the TV set
where power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire hazard.
4 Do not use this TV set near water — for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near swimming pool, etc.
5 Avoid improper installation and never position the unit where good ventilation is impossible.
When installing this TV, distance recommendations must be maintained between the set
and the wall, as well as inside a tightly enclosed area or piece of furniture. Keep to the
minimum distance guidelines shown for safe operation.
6 Cautions for installation
— Do not tilt the TV towards the left or right, or towards the back.
— Install the TV in a corner on a wall or on the floor so as to keep cords out of the way.
— The TV will generate a slight amount of heat during operation. Ensure that sufficient
space is available around the TV to allow satisfactory cooling.
— The ambient temperature for using this TV is 0˚ to 40˚C (32˚ to 104˚F). Using the TV
outside of this range may lead to it not working correctly or being broken.
7 If an outside antenna is connected to the TV set, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical Code 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 requirements for the grounding electrode.
