electric outlet. If the plug does not fit, consult a
licensed electrician to replace the obsolete outlet.
Do not modify the power cord plug, or you will
defeat this safety feature.

within your TV. This label is located on the back
of your TV.
This symbol indicates that there are important
operating and maintenance instructions in the
literature accompanying your TV.
This symbol indicates that this product
incorporates double insulation between
