Handle the AC power cord (mains lead) and outlet (mains socket)
as follows in order to avoid any risk of fire, electric shock or
damage and/or injuries:
• The shape of AC power plug (mains plug), which is supplied

with the TV set, varies depending on the region. Be sure to
connect the appropriate supplied AC power cord (mains lead)
with the plug that fits into the AC power outlet (mains socket).

• Use only Sony supplied AC power cords (mains lead), not those

of other brands.

• Insert the plug fully into the AC power outlet (mains socket).
• Operate the TV set on a 220 V - 240 V AC supply only.
• When wiring cables, be sure to unplug the AC power cord

outlet (mains socket) before working on or moving the TV set.

• Keep the AC power cord (mains lead) away from heat sources.

Prohibited Usage

Do not install/use the TV set in locations, environments or
situations such as those listed below, or the TV set may
malfunction and cause a fire, electric shock, damage and/or
injuries.

Locations:

• Outdoors (in direct sunlight), at the seashore, on a ship or other

vessel, inside a vehicle, in medical institutions, unstable
locations, near water, rain, moisture or smoke.

Environments:

• Places that are hot, humid, or excessively dusty; where insects

may enter; where it might be exposed to mechanical vibration,
near flammable objects (candles, etc.). The TV set shall not be
exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the TV.

Situations:

• Use when your hands are wet, with the cabinet removed, or

with attachments not recommended by the manufacturer.
Disconnect the TV set from AC power outlet (mains socket) and
antenna (aerial) during lightning storms.

• Install the TV so that it sticks out into an

open space. Injury or damage from a
person or object bumping into the TV may
result.

• Place the TV in a humid or dusty space,

or in a room with oily smoke or steam
(near cooking tables or humidifiers). Fire,
electric shock, or warping may result.

• Install the TV in places subject to

extreme temperature such as in direct sunlight, near a radiator
or a heating vent. The TV may overheat in such condition which
can cause deformation of the enclosure and/or TV malfunction.

a public bath or hot spring, the TV may be
damaged by airborne sulfur, etc.

• For best picture quality, do not expose the screen to direct

illumination or sunlight.

• Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area. Sudden

room temperature changes may cause moisture condensation.
This may cause the TV to show poor picture and/or poor colour.
Should this occur, allow moisture to evaporate completely
before powering the TV on.

Broken pieces:

• Do not throw anything at the TV set. The screen glass may break

by the impact and cause serious injury.
