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.
• Should any liquid or solid object fall into the
cabinet, unplug the TV and have it checked by
qualified personnel before operating it further.
• Unplug the TV from the wall outlet if you are not
