B WARNING
• Dangerously high voltages are present inside the TV.
• TV operating voltage: 110 – 240 V AC.
• Do not plug in the power cord until you have completed making all other
connections; otherwise a minimum leakage current might flow through the antenna
and other terminals to ground.
•To avoid battery leakage and damage to the remote, remove the batteries from the
remote if you are not going to use it for several days. If any liquid leaks from the
batteries and touches your skin, immediately wash it away with water.
For your own safety, do not touch
any part of the TV, the power cord
and the antenna cable during
lightning storms.
Do not place any objects on the TV.
The apparatus shall not be
exposed to dripping or splashing
and that no objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the apparatus.
Do not block the ventilation
openings of the TV. Do not install
the TV in a confined space, such
as a bookcase or built-in cabinet.
Do not open the cabinet and the
rear cover of the TV as high
voltages and other hazards are
present inside the TV. Refer
servicing and disposal of the TV
to qualified personnel.
For children’s safety, do not leave
children alone with the TV. Do not
allow children to climb onto it.
Do not operate the TV if any liquid
or solid object falls into it. Have it
checked immediately by qualified
personnel only.
Your TV is recommended for
home use only. Do not use the TV
in any vehicle or where it may be
subject to excessive dust, heat,
moisture or vibrations.
Clean the TV with a dry and soft
cloth. Do not use benzine, thinner,
or any other chemicals to clean the
TV. Do not attach anything (e.g.,
adhesive tape, cellophane tape,
glue) on the painted cabinet of the
TV. Do not scratch the picture
tube.
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do
not expose the TV to rain or
moisture.
Install the TV on a stable TV stand
and floor which can support the
TV set weight. Ensure that the TV
stand surface is flat and its area is
larger than the bottom area of the
TV.
Do not plug in too many
appliances to the same power
socket. Do not damage the power
cord.
Pull the power cord out by the
plug. Do not pull the power cord
itself. Even if your TV is turned
