SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 

This product is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and 
misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent the product from being damaged, 
the following rules should be observed for the installation, use and maintenance of the 
product. Read the following safety instructions before operating the display. Keep these 
instructions in a safe place for future reference. 

To avoid the risk of electric shock or
component damage, switch off the
power before connecting other
components to the TV.

Unplug the power cord before
cleaning the TV. Please use the
included custom bezel cleaning cloth
for cleaning the bezel of the TV only.
Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner
for cleaning the product. Do not use
abrasive cleaners.

Always use the accessories
recommended by the manufacturer to
insure compatibility.

When moving the TV from an area of
low temperature to an area of high
temperature, condensation may form
on the housing. Do not turn on the TV
immediately after this to avoid causing
fire, electric shock or component
damage.

Do not place the TV on an unstable
cart, stand, or table. If the TV falls, it
can injure a person and cause serious
damage to the appliance. Use only a
cart or stand recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the TV.

Any heat source should maintain a
distance of at least 5 feet away from
the TV, i.e. radiator, heater, oven,
amplifier etc. Do not install the product
too close to anything that produces
smoke or moisture. Operating the
product close to smoke or moisture
may cause fire or electric shock.

Slots and openings in the back and
bottom of the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable

operation of the TV and to protect it 
from overheating, be sure these 
openings are not blocked or covered. 
Do not place the TV in a bookcase or 
cabinet unless proper ventilation is 
provided. 

Never push any object into the
ventilation slots of the TV. Do not
place any objects on the top of the
Product. It could short circuit parts
causing a fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquids on the TV.

Do not use the TV in a portrait format
(by rotating 90 degrees) under high
temperature environment (25°C or
higher), since this would retard heat
dissipation and would eventually
damage the TV.

The TV should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on
the label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supplied to your home,
consult your dealer or local power
company.

The power cable must be replaced
when using different voltage from that
specified in the User Manual. For
more information, contact your dealer.

The TV is equipped with a three-
pronged grounded plug, a plug with a
third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit
only into a grounded power outlet as a
safety feature. If your outlet does not
accommodate the three-wire plug,
have an electrician install the correct
outlet, or use an adapter to ground the
appliance safely. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounded plug.
