•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.

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.

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.

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.
