IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Electrical Safety
• The TV set should only be connected to a main
power supply with voltage that matches the label
at the rear of the product.
• To prevent overload, do not share the same
power supply socket with too many other
electronic components.
• Do not place any connecting wires where they
may be stepped on or tripped over.
• Do not place heavy items on any connecting wire,
which may damage the wire.
• Hold the main plug, not the wires, when removing
from a socket.
• During a thunderstorm or when the television
is not being used for long periods, remove the
power cord from the wall receptacle.
• Do not allow water or moisture to enter the TV or
power adapter. Do NOT use in wet, moist areas,
such as bathrooms, steamy kitchens or near
swimming pools.
• Pull the plug out immediately, and seek
professional help if the main plug or cable is
damaged, liquid is spilled onto the set, if the TV
set accidentally exposed to water or moisture, if
anything accidentally penetrates the ventilation
slots or if the TV set does not work normally.
• Do not remove the safety covers. There are no
user serviceable parts inside. Trying to service
the unit yourself is dangerous and may invalidate
the product’s warranty. Qualified personnel must
only service this apparatus.
• To avoid battery leakage, remove batteries
from the remote control when the remote is not
used for long periods, or when the batteries are
exhausted.
• Do not break open or throw exhausted batteries
into a fire.
• For best results, use type AAA (example-alkaline,
carbon-zinc, etc.) batteries.
• Install only new batteries of the same type in your
product.
• Failure to insert batteries in the correct polarity,
as indicated in the battery compartment, may
shorten the life of the batteries or cause batteries
to leak.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
• Do not mix Alkaline, Standard (Carbon-Zinc) or
Rechargeable (Nickel Cadmium) or (Nickel Metal
Hydride) batteries.
• Batteries should be recycled or disposed of as
per state and local guidelines.
• Do not attempt to recharge disposable batteries.
• Do not short circuit battery terminals.
• Keep away from children.
Physical Safety
• Do not block ventilation slots in the back cover.
You may place the TV in a cabinet, but ensure at
least 5cm (2’’) clearance all around.
• Do not tap or shake the TV screen, or you may
damage the internal circuits. Take good care of
the remote control.
• To clean the TV use a soft dry cloth. Do not use
solvents or petroleum based fluids.
• Do not install near any heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
• Servicing is required if liquid has been spilled, or
objects have fallen into the apparatus; when the
apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture;
or if the apparatus has been dropped.
• Always connect your television to a power outlet
with protective ground connection.
WARNING
Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
-Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
-Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.
-Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
-Not placing the television set on tall furniture(for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the
furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
-Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and
supporting furniture.
-Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
