Important
Safeguards
Before using your TV, please read these instructions completely, and keep
this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and instructions
placed on the TV or described in the operating instructions or service
manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should be
observed in the installation, use and servicing of the TV.
Use
Power Sources
This TV should be operated only from the type of
power source indicated on the serial/model plate.
If you are not sure of the type of electrical power
supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local
power company. For those TVs designed to operate
from battery power, refer to the operating
instructions.
Wall outlet
Do not use a poor fitting outlet.
Insert the plug fully into the outlet. If it is loose, it may
cause arcing and result in fire.
Contact your electrician to have the outlet changed.
Wiring
Unplug the AC power cord when wiring cables.
Be sure to unplug the AC power cord for your safety, when hooking up.
Moisture
Do not touch the AC power cord with a wet hand.
If you plug/unplug the AC power cord with a wet
hand, it may cause electric shock.
Cleaning
Clean the AC power plug regularly.
If the plug is covered with dust and it picks up
moisture, its insulation may deteriorate and
result in fire. Unplug the AC power plug and
clean it regularly.
For the TV with a three-wire grounding type AC
plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug
into the outlet, contact your electrician to have a suitable
outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since
this can result in fire or electric shock.
Always turn the TV off when it is not being used.
When the TV is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall
outlet as a precaution against the possibility of an
internal malfunction that could create a fire
hazard.
If a snapping or popping sound from a TV is
continuous or frequent while the TV is operating,
unplug the TV and consult your dealer or service
technician. It is normal for some TV to make
occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly
when being turned on or off.
