Plug in the TV
Plug the flat end of the cable into the power jack on the back of the TV. Then plug the other end
of the power cord into an appropriate wall outlet. Be sure to insert the plug completely. Do not
plug into an outlet controlled by a light switch.
Note: When you first plug your TV into an outlet, the Power indicator on the front panel
will light for approximately 15 seconds and then go off during the initialization of the TV.
The TV can only be turned on after the Power indicator goes off. This happens ever y time
power is reapplied to the TV.
