Ensure that the mains plug is easily accessible.

• 

Ensure the earth pin on the mains plug is securely connected to prevent electrical shock.

Do not touch the mains plug with a wet hand. (This may cause electrical shock.)

• 

Do not damage the mains lead. (A damaged lead may cause fire or electrical shock.)

• Do not move the TV with the lead plugged in the socket outlet.

• Do not place a heavy object on the lead or place the lead near a high-temperature object.

• Do not twist the lead, bend it excessively, or stretch it.

• Do not pull on the lead. Hold onto the mains plug body when disconnecting the lead.

• Do not use a damaged mains plug or socket outlet.
