BEFORE OPERATION (continued)
Precautions
Power Sources-The
TV set should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the TV
set or as indicated in the Operation Manual. If you are not sure of the type of power supply in your home,
consult your sales person or your local power company. For TV sets designed to operate from battery
power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or Polarization
- Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a
third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong is provided for your safety. If the provided plug
does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Alternate Warnings-This
plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable outlet installed.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding plug.
Water and Moisture Warnings-Do
not use the TV set near water-for example, near a bath tub, wash
bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like. The TV set
shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the TV set.
Ventilation-Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation
of the TV set and to protect it from overheating, and these openings must not be blocked or covered. The
openings should never be blocked by placing the TV set on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This
TV set should not be placed 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.
Heat - Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
Power-Cord Protection
-Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Accessories-Do
not place the TV set on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV set may
fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the TV set. Use only with a cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer, or accessory recommended by the
manufacturer, or sold with the TV set, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the
manufacturer.
A product and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the TV set and cart combination to overturn.
Overloading- Do
not overload wall outlets, extension cords or integral convenience receptacles as this
can result in fire or electric shock.
Lightning-For added protection for this TV set 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 product due to lightning and power-line surges.
Object and Liquid Entry-Never
push objects of any kind into the TV set through openings as 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 the TV set.
