Important Safety Instructions

  

 

Your HDTV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and misuse 
may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your HDTV from being damaged, the following 
rules should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your HDTV. Read the 
following safety instructions before operating your HDTV. 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 HDTV. 

!

  Unplug the power cord before cleaning your HDTV. Use only a 

damp cloth for cleaning your HDTV. Do not use any liquid, 
spray, or abrasive cleaners on your HDTV.  

!

  Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer 

to insure compatibility. 

!

  When moving your HDTV from an area of low temperature to 

an area of high temperature, condensation may form in the 
housing. Wait before turning on your HDTV to avoid causing 
fire, electric shock, or component damage. 

!

  Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, 

bracket, or table specified by manufacturer 
or sold with your HDTV. When a cart is 
used, use caution when moving the 
cart/HDTV combination to avoid injury from 
tip-over. Do not place your HDTV on an 
unstable cart, stand, or table. If your HDTV 
falls, it can injure a person and cause 
serious damage to your HDTV.  

!

  A distance of at least 3 feet should be maintained between your 

HDTV and any heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, 
amplifier, etc.  Do not install or operating your HDTV close to 
smoke or moisture as it 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 
HDTV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these 
openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your HDTV 
in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided. 

!

  Never push any object into the slots and openings on your 

HDTV cabinet. Do not place any objects on the top of your 
HDTV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or 
electric shock. Never spill liquids on your HDTV. 

!

  Your HDTV 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 HDTV. This may 

compromise the integrity of the display. 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. 

!

  Your HDTV 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. This is a safety feature. If your outlet 
does not accommodate the three-pronged plug, have an 
electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground 
your HDTV safely.  

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug. 

!

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

your HDTV. 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 HDTV 
that may be of sufficient magnitude to 

constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. 

!

  The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended 

to alert the user to the presence of 
important operating and servicing 
instructions in the literature 
accompanying your HDTV. 

!

  Do not overload power strips and 

extension cords. Overloading can result 

in fire or electric shock.  

!

  The wall socket should be installed near your HDTV and easily 

accessible. 

!

  Only power of the specified voltage can be used for your HDTV. 

Any other voltage than the specified voltage may cause fire or 
electric shock. 

!

  Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric 

shock, avoid handling the power cord during electrical storms. 

!

  Unplug your HDTV during a lightning storm or when it will not 

be used for long periods of time. This will protect your HDTV 
from damage due to power surges. 

!

  Do not attempt to repair or service your HDTV yourself. 

Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to high 
voltages, electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required, 
contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service 
personnel. 

!

  Keep your HDTV away from moisture. Do not expose your 

HDTV to rain or moisture. If water penetrates into your HDTV, 
unplug the power cord and contact your dealer. Continuous use 
in this case may result in fire or electric shock. 

!

  Do not use your HDTV if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke 

or odor becomes apparent, unplug the power cord and contact 
your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your HDTV 
yourself. 

!

  Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your HDTV is 

dropped and the housing is damaged, the internal components 
may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord immediately 
and contact your dealer for repair.  Continued use of your 
HDTV may cause fire or electric shock. 

!

  Do not install your HDTV in an area with heavy dust or high 

humidity. Operating your HDTV in environments with heavy 
dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock. 

!

  Follow instructions for moving your HDTV. Ensure that the 

power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving 
your HDTV. 

!

  When unplugging your HDTV, hold the power plug, not the 

cord. Pulling on the power cord may damage the wires inside 
the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When your HDTV will 
not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power 
cord. 

!

  To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with 

wet hands. 

!

  Insert batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect 

polarities may cause the batteries to leak which can damage 
the remote control or injure the operator. 

!

  If any of the following occurs, contact the dealer: 

o

  The power cord fails or frays. 

o

  Liquid sprays or any object drops into your HDTV. 

o

  Your HDTV is exposed to rain or other moisture. 

o

  Your HDTV is dropped or damaged in any way. 

o

  The performance of your HDTV changes substantially.
