booklet or sheet, or be located before any operating instructions in an instruction for installation for use and
supplied with the apparatus.

This information shall be given in a language acceptable to the country where the apparatus is intended to be used.
The important safety instructions shall be entitled “Important Safety Instructions”. The following safety

instructions shall be included where applicable, and, when used, shall be verbatim as follows. Additional safety
information may be included by adding statements after the end of the following safety instruction list. At the
manufacturer’s option, a picture or drawing that illustrates the intent of a specific safety instruction may be
placed immediately adjacent to that safety instruction:

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

Never touch this apparatus or antenna during
a thunder or lighting storm.

Do not allow a impact shock or any objects to
fall into the product, and do not drop onto the
screen with something.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as power-supply
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus,
the apparatus has exposed to rain or moisture,
does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :
Most appliances recommend they be placed
upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet
circuit which powers only that appliance and
has no additional outlets or branch circuits.
Check the specification page of this owner's
manual to be certain.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall
outlets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension
cords, frayed power cords, or damaged or
cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of
these conditions could result in electric shock
or fire. Periodically examine the cord of your
appliance, and if its appearance indicates dam­age or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use

of the appliance, and have the cord replaced
with an exact replacement part by an authorized
servicer. Protect the power cord from physical
or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted,
kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked
upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall
outlets, and the point where the cord exits the
appliance.

Outdoor use marking :
WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or elec-

tric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain
or moisture.

Wet Location Marking : Apparatus shall not be
exposed to dripping or splashing and no
objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on or over apparatus.

ATTACHING THE TV TO A WALL

We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,
potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.

■

Insert the TV brackets and bolts to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture.

* Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase separately) on

the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.

Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.

■

Use a sturdy rope (not provided as parts of the product, must pur­chase separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie the rope so it
becomes horizontal between the wall and the product.

■

This feature is not available for all models.
