FOR YOUR PERSONAL SAFETY 

 

1 This television set is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than 
the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert 
the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to 
replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat  the safety purpose of the polarized plug. 

 

2 When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed, unplug this television set from the wall outlet and refer 
servicing to qualified service personnel. 

 

3 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or electric shock.
