WHEN READING THIS MANUAL

When you see this symbol, please read the accompanying 

important warning or notice. It is intended to alert you to 

the presence of important operating instructions.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Your TV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design 

limits. Misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your TV 

from being damaged, the following instructions should be observed for 

the installation, use, and maintenance of your TV. Read the following 

safety instructions before operating your TV. Keep these instructions in a 

safe place for future reference.
• 

To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off 

the power before connecting other components to your TV.

•  Read these instructions.
•  Keep these instructions.
•  Heed all warnings.
•  Follow all instructions.
•  Do not use this apparatus near water.
•  Clean only with dry cloth.
•  Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the 

manufacturer’s instructions.

•  Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, 

stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

•  Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type 

plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. 

A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. 

The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the 

provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for 

replacement of the obsolete outlet.

•  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly 

at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from 

the apparatus.

• 

Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

•  Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table 

specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. 

When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/

apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. 

•  Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for 

long periods of time.

• 

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is 

required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such 

as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled 

   

or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been 

exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been 

dropped.

•  Unplug the power cord before cleaning your TV. 
•  When moving your TV from an area of low temperature to an area 

of high temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait 

before turning on your TV to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or 

component damage. 

•  A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your 

TV and any heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier 

etc. Do not install your TV close to smoke. Operating your TV 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 your TV 

and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not 

blocked or covered. Do not place your TV in a bookcase or cabinet 

unless proper ventilation is provided.

•  Never push any object into the slots and openings on your TV 

cabinet. Do not place any objects on the top of your TV. Doing so 

could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill 

liquids on your TV.

•  Your 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.

•  Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your TV. This may 

compromise the integrity of the TV. The manufacturer’s warranty 

does not cover user abuse or improper installations.

• 

The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than 

the voltage specified. For more information, contact your dealer.

• 

When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your 

TV. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

• 

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral 

triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of 

un-isolated, dangerous voltage within the inside of your TV that 

may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric 

shock to persons.

•  Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can 

result in fire or electric shock. 

•  The wall socket should be installed near your TV 

and easily accessible.

When you see this symbol, please read the accompanying 

helpful tip.
