(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.
