Do not install near any heat sources such as 
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other 
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce 
heat.

9

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.

10

Protect the power cord from being walked on 
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience 
receptacles, and the point where they exit 
from your plasma TV.

11

Only use attachments or accessories 
specified by the manufacturer.

12

Use only with a cart, stand, 
tripod, bracket, or table 
specified by the manufacturer. 

13

Unplug your plasma TV during 
lightning storms or when 
unused for long periods of time.

14

Refer all servicing to qualified service 
personnel.

Servicing is required when your plasma TV 
has been damaged in any way, such as the 
power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid 
has been spilled or objects have fallen into 
your plasma TV, your plasma TV has been 
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate 
normally, or has been dropped.

15

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall 
outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, 
extension cords, frayed power cords, or 
damaged or cracked wire insulation are 
dangerous. Any of these conditions could 
result in electric shock or fire. Periodically 
examine the cord of your plasma TV, and if 
its appearance indicates damage or 
deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of 
your plasma TV, and have the cord replaced 
with an exact replacement part by an 
authorized service person. Protect the power 
cord from physical or mechanical abuse, 
such as being twisted, kinked, pinched, 
closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay 
particular attention to plugs, wall outlets, and 
the point where the cord exits your plasma 
TV.

16

Ensure that you connect the earth ground 
wire to prevent possible electric shock. If 
grounding methods are not possible, have a 
qualified electrician install a separate circuit 
breaker. Do not try to ground the unit by 
connecting it to telephone wires, lightening 
rods, or gas pipes.

17

Mains plug is the disconnecting device. The 
plug must remain readily operable.

18

If an outside antenna or cable system is 
connected to your plasma TV, make sure that 
the antenna or cable system is grounded to 
provide some protection against voltage 
surges and built-up static charges. Article 
820-40 of the National Electrical Code (USA) 
provides guidelines for correct grounding 
and, in particular, specifies that the cable 
ground shall be connected to the grounding 
system of the building, as close to the point of 
the cable entry as practical.
