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

The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain 
readily operable.

An apparatus with a three-prong, grounding-type plug is a Class I 
apparatus, which needs to be grounded to prevent possible 
electric shock. Make sure that you connect this Class I television 
to a grounding-type, three-prong outlet.

17

Remote control batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat 
such as sunshine, fire, or the like.

18

The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, 
and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed 
on the apparatus.

Warnings

Electric shock hazard

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any cover or 
expose the device to rain or moisture. No user-serviceable parts are 
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service technicians.

Lightning

For added protection for your device receiver during a lightning storm, 
or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, 
unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect any antenna or cable 
system. This helps prevent property damage and personal injury from 
lightning and power line surges.

Power lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of 
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it 
can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside 
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching 
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

Handling the LCD panel

• Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop your TV or hit, jolt, 

or press hard against the LCD panel. If the screen breaks, be 
careful of broken glass. 

• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not 

touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin inflammation. 

• If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle, rinse, and 

consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your eyes or 
touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at 
least 15 minutes or longer in clean water. 

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, make sure that the service 
technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that 
have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized 
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, personal injury, or other 
hazards.

Safety check

After completing any service or repair to this device, ask the service 
technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that your TV is 
in correct operating condition.

Power source

Operate your TV 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 an electrician or your local power company.

Cautions

Damage requiring service
