IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property damage if
improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. However,
improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following
instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of
your Liquid Crystal Television, please read the following precautions carefully before using the product.
• Read Instructions — All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the product is operated.
• Retain Instructions — The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
• Heed Warnings — All warnings on the product and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
• Follow Instructions — All operating and use instructions should be followed.
• Attachments — Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause
hazards.
• Power Sources — This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking
label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
• AC Cord Protection — AC cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the product.
• Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
• Object and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any kind into this product 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 product.
• Servicing — Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
• Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
a) When the AC cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.
• Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
• Safety Check — Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
• Wall or ceiling mounting — When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product
according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.
• Polarization — The product may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one
blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the AC outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug
should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
