Important Safety Instructions

Be sure to observe the following instructions and precautions to ensure safe use of this TV.

Installation

1) Always connect the power plug to an

appropriate electrical outlet equipped with E model: 220-240V, AC 50/60Hz, T model: 110-240V, AC 50/60Hz and Y model: 220240V, AC 50Hz.

Never use the TV outside the speciﬁ ed voltage range. It may cause a ﬁ re or an electric shock.

Ex. 220-240V AC, 50/60Hz

Check!

2) Never insert or remove the power plug with wet hands.

This may cause an electric shock.

3) Never place the TV in an unstabilized location such as on a shaky table, incline or location subject to vibration.

• Only use cabinets or stands recommended

by the TV manufacturer.

• Only use furniture that can safely support

the TV.

• Ensure that the TV is not hanging over the

edge of the supporting furniture.

• Never place the TV on tall furniture (for

example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the

television to a suitable support. The TV may drop or fall off which may cause an injury or damage.

WARNING ABOUT THREE-WIRE GROUNDING-TYPE PLUG: (Only for E models)

• This product shall be connected to a main socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

• Never remove the earthing pin on the power plug. This system is equipped with a three pin earthing-type power plug. This plug will only ﬁ t an earthing-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the wall outlet.

• Never defeat the purpose of the earthing plug.

About the fuse

In a three pin earthing-type, the fuse ﬁ tted in this plug is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. It should only be replaced by a correctly rated and approved type and the fuse cover must be reﬁ tted.

Introduction

4) Never block or cover the slots and openings in the cabinet.

• Never place the TV so that it is facing

upward or on its side.

• Never place the TV in a closet, bookcase or

other similar area where the ventilation is poor.

• Never drape a newspaper, tablecloth or

curtain on the TV.

• Never stand the TV on cloth or other

material placed between the TV and supporting furniture.

• When installing the TV against a wall,

always keep the TV at least 10 cm away from the wall.

• Never place the TV on a soft unstable

surface, such as a carpet, or a cushion. The inside of this TV will overheat if the ventilation holes are covered, blocked or sealed, which may result in a ﬁ re.

5) Never place the TV near a heater or in direct sunlight.

The surface of the cabinet or power cord may melt and result in a ﬁ re or an electric shock.

7) Never place the TV next to a stove where it will be exposed to oil, smoke, or steam, or in a location where there is a large quantity of dust.

This may cause a ﬁ re or an electric shock.

8) Install the TV in a horizontal, stable location. Connect between two clips on the back of the TV and a wall, pillar, etc., with a sturdy tie and clip of supplied accessories (- page 35).

• Use as short a tie as possible to ensure the

TV is stable.

Precautions for installing on outdoor aerial

An outside aerial system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, or other electric light or power circuits. If the aerial falls down or drops, it may cause an injury or an electric shock.

Use

1) Never place hot objects or open ﬂ ame sources, such as lighted candles or nightlights, on or close to the TV.

High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to ﬁ res.

2) The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects ﬁ lled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

When liquids are spilled or small items are dropped inside the TV, this may cause a ﬁ re or an electric shock. If small objects drop inside the TV, turn off the TV and remove the power plug from the outlet immediately and contact a service technician.

Introduction

3) Never insert objects (metal or paper) or pour water inside the TV through ventilation holes and other openings.

These items may cause a ﬁ re or an electric shock. If these objects are inserted inside the TV, turn off the TV and remove the power plug from the outlet immediately and contact a service technician. Be especially careful that children do not insert objects in the TV.

Clip

4) Never stand or climb on the TV.

• Educate children about the dangers of

climbing on furniture to reach the TV or its

controls. Be especially careful in households with children to prevent them through climbing on top of the TV. It may move, fall over, break, become damaged or cause an injury.

5) When the TV will not be used for a long period of time, such as during vacation or travel, remove the power plug from the wall outlet for safety.

• The TV is not completely disconnected from

the power supply line, as minute current is consumed even when the ! Power switch is turned off.

• The Mains plug or an appliance coupler is

used as the disconnect device, therefore the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

Introduction

6) Never pull on the power cord when removing the plug from the wall outlet.

Always hold the plug ﬁ rmly when removing it. If the power cord is yanked, the cord may become damaged and a ﬁ re or an electric shock may occur.

7) Never cut, break, modify, twist, bunch up or bent the cord or apply excessive force or tension to it.

Never place heavy objects on the cord or allow it to overheat as this may cause damage, a ﬁ re or an electric shock. Contact a service technician if the power cord is damaged.

You may suffer an electric shock.

Service

1) Never repair, modify or disassemble the TV by yourself.

It may cause a ﬁ re or an electric shock. Consult a service technician for inspection and repairs.

2) When a malfunction occurs, or if smoke or an unusual odor comes from the TV, turn off the TV and remove the power plug from the outlet immediately.
