a triangle is intended to tell the user that
parts inside the product are a risk of
electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within a triangle
is intended to tell the user that important
operating and servicing instructions are in
the papers with the appliance.
Note to CATV System Installer
This reminder is provided to direct the CATV system
installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building,
as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
Secure Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or
bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure
reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from
overheating. These openings must not be blocked
or covered. There should be at least 10 cm of
space around the TV. The openings should never
be blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug or
other similar surface. This TV should not be placed
in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless
proper ventilation is provided.
Important Safety Instructions (TV set)
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such
as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9) 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.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments / accessories specified by
the manufacturer.
12) 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.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14) 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.
15) Operate only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supplied to your home,
consult your television dealer or local power
company.
16) Follow all warnings and instructions marked on
the TV.
17) Never push objects of any kind into this TV
through cabinet slots 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 TV.
18) If an outside antenna is connected to the
television equipment, be sure the antenna
system is grounded so as to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built
up static charges. In the U.S. Section 810-
21 of the National Electrical Code provides
information with respect to proper grounding of
the mast and supporting structure, grounding
of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of
antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements for the grounding
electrode.
