CAUTION
The plug has one prong wider than the other and will fit
only one way into a
standard electrical outlet
(120 volt AC, 60 Hz). If the
plug does not fit into the
outlet, try turning it around.
If the plug still does not fit,
the outlet is probably
non-standard and must be replaced by a qualified
electrician. Do not tamper with the plug or try to force it
into a non-standard outlet.
Note to CATV system installers in the USA
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC, which
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.
Precautions
Installing your TV
• Place the TV on the floor or on a sturdy platform. The
mounting surface should be flat and steady. If you
install the TV on a soft floor, make sure that the floor is
not damaged by the weight of the TV.
• Place the TV far enough away from the walls to allow
proper ventilation. This will prevent the TV from
overheating and avoid possible damage to the TV.
Avoid dusty areas too.
Using your TV
• Do not stand or climb on the TV.
• Do not put any heavy object on top of the TV.
• Do not place containers with liquids such as drinks,
aquariums, or lighted candles on the TV. If any foreign
material or water leaks into the TV, unplug the power
cord and contact your dealer.
• Avoid displaying stationary images on your TV screen
for extended periods of time. Stationary patterns (such
as those generated by computer displays, video
games, or stock market reports) can become
permanently engrained on the picture tube. This
damage is not protected by your warranty because it
is the result of misuse. If you wish to use your TV to
display still images, reduce brightness and contrast
settings. Never leave a computer or video game
display unattended.
Cleaning your TV
• To clean the TV screen:
1. Unplug the TV from the power outlet to avoid
possible shock hazard.
2. Use a clean, dry cellulose sponge or chamois cloth
to clean TV screen and trim. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaning agents. Liquid spilling into the TV
cabinet may cause electric shock or damage the TV.
CAUTION
Never use strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, or
other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they can
damage the finish of the cabinet.
