Important Safety Instructions 

Your HDTV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits. Misuse may 
result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your HDTV from being damaged, the following rules 
should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your HDTV. Read the following 
safety instructions before operating your HDTV. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future 
reference. 

 

  To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before 

connecting other components to your HDTV. 

  Unplug the power cord before cleaning your HDTV. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning your 

HDTV. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning your HDTV. Do not use abrasive 
cleaners. 

  Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility. 

  When moving your HDTV from an area of low temperature to an area of high 

temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on 
your HDTV to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage. 

  Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by 

manufacturer or sold with your HDTV. When a cart is used, use caution when 
moving the cart/HDTV combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Do not place 
your HDTV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If your HDTV falls, it can injure a person and 
cause serious damage to your HDTV. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the 
manufacturer or sold with your HDTV. 

  A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your HDTV and any heat source, 

such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc.  Do not install your HDTV close to smoke. 
Operating your HDTV close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or electric shock. 

  Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure 

reliable operation of your HDTV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are 
not blocked or covered. Do not place your HDTV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper 
ventilation is provided. 

  Never push any object into the slots and openings on your HDTV cabinet. Do not place any 

objects on the top of your HDTV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. 
Never spill liquids on your HDTV. 

  Your HDTV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you 

are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power 
company. 

  Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your HDTV. This may compromise the integrity of the 

display. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover user abuse or improper installations. 

  The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified. For 

more information, contact your dealer. 

  Your HDTV is equipped with a

 three-pronged grounded plug (a plug with a third grounding 

pin)

. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If your outlet 

does not accommodate the three-pronged, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an 
adapter to ground your HDTV safely. 

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.

 

  When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your HDTV. To totally disconnect 

power, unplug the power cord. 

  The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is 

intended to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated, dangerous 
voltage within the inside of your HDTV that may be of 
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to 
persons. 

  The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to 

the presence of important operating and servicing instructions in the literature 
accompanying your HDTV. 

  Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
