Important
Safeguards
Before using your TV, please read these instructions completely, and
keep this manual for future reference.
Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions and
instructions placed on the unit or described in the operating instructions
or service manual.
WARNING
To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions should be
observed in the installation, use and servicing of the unit.
Use
Power Sources
This unit should be operated only from the
type of power source indicated on the
information label.
If you are not sure of the type of electrical
power supplied to your home, consult your
dealer or local power company.
Grounding or Polarization
This unit is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other), or with a three-wire grounding
type plug (a plug having a third pin for grounding). Follow the
instructions below:
For the unit with a polarized AC power cord
plug
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 still fails to fit, contact your electrician to
have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug by forcing it in.
Wall outlet
Do not use a poor fitting outlet.
Insert the plug fully into the outlet. If it is loose, it
may cause arcing and result in fire.
Contact your electrician to have the outlet
changed.
Wiring
For your safety, unplug the AC power cord when wiring cables.
Electric shock
Do not touch the AC power cord or the unit with a
wet hand. If you plug/unplug the AC power cord
from the unit with a wet hand, it may cause electric
shock.
Cleaning
s
Clean the AC power plug regularly.
If the plug is covered with dust and it picks
up moisture, its insulation may deteriorate
and result in fire. Unplug the AC power
plug and clean it regularly.
s
Unplug the AC power cord when
cleaning this unit. If not, it may result
in electric shock.
s
Clean the cabinet of the TV with a dry soft cloth. To remove dust
from the screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains
may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened with a solution of
mild soap and warm water. Never use cloth or strong solvents such
as thinner or benzine for cleaning.
s
If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow the
instruction provided on the package.
s
If the picture becomes dark after using the TV for a long period of
time, it may be necessary to clean the inside of the TV. Consult
qualified service personnel.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity,
since this can result in fire or electric shock.
Power
Always turn the unit off when it is not being used.
When the unit is left unattended and unused for
long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
as a precaution against the possibility of an
internal malfunction that could create a fire
hazard.
Sound
If a snapping or popping sound from the TV is
continuous or frequent while the TV is operating,
unplug the TV and consult your dealer or service
technician. It is normal for TV’s to make
occasional snapping or popping sounds,
particularly when being turned on or off.
AC Power Cord
If you damage the AC power cord, it may result in fire or electric shock.
s
Do not pinch, bend, or twist the cord excessively. The core lines
may be bared and cut, and cause short-circuit, resulting in fire or
electric shock.

Do not put anything heavy on the AC power cord. Do not pull the
AC power cord.

fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the unit.
