SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord:

14

It is recommend that appliances 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 connect too many appliances to the

same AC power outlet as this could result in
fire or electric shock.

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.

Do not make the TV with the power cord

plugged in. Do not use a damaged or loose
power cord. Be sure do grasp the plug when
unplugging the power cord. Do not pull on the
power cord to unplug the TV.

GROUNDING

17

Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire

to prevent possible electric shock (i.e. a TV
with a three-prong grounded AC plug must be
connected to a three-prong grounded AC
outlet). If grounding methods are not possi­ble, have a qualified electrician install a sepa­rate circuit breaker.

Do not try to ground the unit by connecting it

to telephone wires, lightening rods, or gas
pipes.

Power

Short-circuit

Breaker

DISCONNECTING DEVICE FROM MAINS

Mains plug is the disconnecting device. The

plug must remain readily operable.

"As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall

19

outlet, it is not disconnected from the AC
power source even if you turn off this unit by
SWITCH"

Supply

Cleaning

20

When cleaning, unplug the power cord and

scrub gently with a soft cloth to prevent

15

trical shock, do not expose this product to
rain, moisture or other liquids. Do not touch
the TV with wet hands. Do not install this

SECURING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING

!

WHEN THE TV IS USED ON A STAND

n

You should purchase necessary components to prevent the TV from tipping over (when not using a wall mount).

n

Image shown may differ from your TV.

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.

n

Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture.
* If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts.
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.
Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (sold separately) to 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.

n

Use a sturdy rope (sold separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie
the rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and the product.

PREPARATION

NOTE

►Use a platform or cabinet strong enough and large enough to

support the size and weight of the TV.

► To use the TV safely make sure that the height of the bracket on

the wall and the one on the TV are the same.

SWIVEL STAND

(This feature is not available for all models.)

After installing the TV, you can adjust the TV manually to the left or right direction by 20 degrees to suit your
viewing position.
