bracket, or table. The TVmay fall,
causing serious injury to someone,
and serious damage to the appliance.
Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or
sold with the TV.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow the man-
ufacturer’s instructions and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. An appli-
ance and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may
cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and
the back or bottom are provided for ventilation and to
ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it
from overheating, these openings must not be blocked
or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar sur-
face. This TVshould never be placed near or over a
radiator or heat register. This TV should not be placed
in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack
unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufactur-
er’s instructions have been adhered to.
10.POWER SOURCES - This TVshould be operated only

11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This 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.
12.POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power-supply cords
should be routed 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, conve-
nience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.
13.OUTDOOR ANTENNAGROUNDING - If an outside
antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure
the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to pro-
vide 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

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 the TVdue
to lightning and power-line surges.
15.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

taken to keep from touching such power lines or cir-
cuits as contact with them might be fatal.

extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or
electric shock.

self as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing
