Safety Precautions

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 LCD TV and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. 

There should be at least 4 inches (10 cm) of space around the TV. The openings should never be blocked by 

placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This LCD TV should not be placed in a built-in 

installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

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.

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.  Please keep the unit in a well-ventilated environment.

16.  WARNING:

 To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. The 

apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing. Objects filled with liquids, such as vases should not be 

placed on apparatus.

17.  WARNING:

 The batteries shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

18.  CAUTION: 

The Power switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from AC outlet. Since the power 

cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from the AC outlet to shut down 

all power. Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily unplugged from 

AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should also be unplugged from the AC outlet 

when left unused for a long period of time (for example, when on vacation).

19.  WARNING:

 To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover (or back) as there are no user-serviceable 

parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified personnel.
