such as under direct sunlight, near a radiator, near a heating vent, or
in the direct line of air-conditioning vents.
y Never place the TV in hot, oily, humid or excessively dusty places.
y Do not install the TV where insects may enter.
y Do not install the TV in places that may be exposed to mechanical
vibration.
y Do not install the TV in places where it may protrude, such as on or
behind a pillar, or where you may bump your head on it. This may
result in injury.
Outdoor use
Do not install this TV outdoors. If the TV is exposed to rain, it may
cause a fire or electric shock. Never expose the TV to direct sunlight to
