expose the television to rain or
moisture.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage"
within the product's enclosure'that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the

29V35CI34V35C).
• Operate the TV only on 220 V AC (KV-29RS25CI29V35CI
34V35C only).
• One blade of the plug is wider than the other for safety
purposes and will fit into the power outlet only one way. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, contact
your dealer (except KV^29RS25CI29V35CI34V35C).
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the cabinet, unplug
the TV and have it checked by qualified personnel before
operating it any further.
• Unplug the TV from the wall outlet if you are not going to
