WARNING

• Dangerously high voltages are present inside the TV.

• TV operating voltage: 110–240 V AC (KV-HS29/HS34), 220–240 V AC (KV-HS38).

• 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.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.

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.

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.

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.

Do not place any objects on the TV.

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 off, it is still connected to the AC power source (mains) as long as the power cord is plugged in. Unplug the TV before moving it or if you are not going to use it for several days.

About the glazed finish on the top and side panels of your TV

The top and side panels of your TV are glaze finished. To keep them from discoloring, deterioration or scratching:

• Avoid hitting your TV with an object.

• Do not put a hot object such as a cup of coffee, or heavy object such as a flower vase with water, on the TV top. If any liquid fall into the cabinet, it may cause fire or shock hazard.
