2. Slots and openings are provided for ventilation; to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register or in a built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

3. This product should be operated from the type of power indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your dealer or local power company.

4. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord can be stepped on.

15. If an extension cord is used with this product, make sure that the total ampere rating of the equipment plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total rating of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed the fuse rating.

16. Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts, which could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the product.

7. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage points or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

8. Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

20. Do not overload an electrical AC outlet or power strip. The overall system load must not exceed 80% of the branch circuit rating. If power strips are used, the load should not exceed 80% of the power strip input rating.

1. Some products are equipped with a three-wire electrical grounding-type plug that has a third pin for grounding. This plug only fits into a grounded electrical outlet. This is a safety feature. Make sure the AC outlet is properly grounded. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug by trying to insert it into a nongr

ounded outlet. If you cannot insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician

to replace the outlet.

22. Maintain ample distance from it when watching: Sitting too close can strain your eyes.

23. Make sure there is sufficient distance between you and the TV when you are viewing content to avoid harming your eyes.

24. Do not expose this product to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing to reduce the risk of fire or electric shock.

25. If an outside antenna is connected to your TV, be sure the antenna system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges. In the U.S. Section 81

0 of the National Electrical Code provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

The grounding pin is an important safety feature. It is possible to receive an electric shock from a system that is not properly grounded.

The grounding pin provides protection against unexpected noise and interference that is produced by nearby electrical devices.
