Introduction

Important Safety Instructions

Always connect the power plug to an electrical outlet equipped with
100 – 240V AC 50/60 Hz.
Never use the TV outside the specified voltage range. It may cause a fire
or an electric shock.

Never insert or remove the power plug with wet hands.
This may cause electric shock.

Never place the TV in an unstable location, such as on a shaky table or
incline or in a location subject to vibration.
The TV may drop or fall down, which may cause injury or damage.

Never block or cover the slots and openings in the cabinet.
• Never place the TV so that it is facing upward or on its side.
• Never place the TV in a closet, bookcase or other similar area where the

ventilation is poor.

• Never drape a newspaper, tablecloth or curtain on the TV.
• When installing the TV near a wall, always keep the TV at least 10 cm

away from the wall.

• Never place the TV on a soft, unstable surface, such as carpet or a

cushion.

The inside of this TV will overheat if the ventilation holes are covered,
blocked or sealed, which may result in a fire.

Never place the TV near a heater or in direct sunlight.
The surface of the cabinet or power cord may melt and result in fire or
electric shock.

Check!
