E1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Damage

– Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the wall outlet immediately if the TV set begins to

make any unusual noises or gives off smoke or an unusual smell. Then call your dealer for service.

stable surface or wall to prevent the set from falling due to sudden shocks or impact.

Moisture

– To prevent electrical shock, do not use the TV set in an excessively damp place.

Liquid entry

– Do not place a fl ower vase or anything else containing liquid on the TV set, as liquid spilt on

the TV set can cause electrical shock or failure.
