Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specied by the manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
Unplug the power cord before cleaning your TV.
When moving your TV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may form in the housing.
Wait before turning on your TV to avoid causing re, electric
shock, or component damage.
A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your TV and any heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven,
amplier etc. Do not install your TV close to smoke. Operating your TV close to smoke or moisture may cause re or electric
shock.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of your TV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your TV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading
can result in re or electric shock.
The wall socket should be installed near your TV and easily accessible.
Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your TV. Any
other voltage than the specied voltage may cause re or electric
shock.
Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric shock, avoid handling the power cord during electrical storms.
Unplug your TV during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect your TV from damage due to power surges.
Do not attempt to repair or service your TV yourself. Opening or removing the back cover may expose you to high voltages, electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is required, contact
your dealer and refer all servicing to qualied service personnel.
WARNING: Keep your TV away from moisture. Do not expose your TV to rain or moisture. If water penetrates into your TV, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer. Continuous use in this case may
result in re or electric shock.
Do not use your TV if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your TV yourself.
Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your TV is dropped and the housing is damaged, the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your TV may
cause re or electric shock.
Do not install your TV in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your TV in environments with heavy dust or
high humidity may cause re or electric shock.
Follow instructions for moving your TV. Ensure that the power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving your TV.
To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the
oor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.
When unplugging your TV,grab the head of the power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord may damage the wires inside
the cord and cause re or electric shock. When your TV will not be
used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.
To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.
Insert batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarities may cause the batteries to leak which can damage the remote control or injure the operator. Do not expose batteries to
excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the like.

- The power cord fails or frays.
- Liquid sprays or any object drops into your TV.
- Your TV is exposed to rain or other moisture.
- Your TV is dropped or damaged in any way.
- The performance of your TV changes substantially.

CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualied
service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating
instructions unless you are qualied to do so.
The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of
uninsulated DANGEROUS VOLTAGE within the product’s enclosure that may be of sucient magnitude to constitute a risk
of electrical shock to persons.
WARNING: Exposure to loud sounds can damage your hearing causing hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears).
With continued exposure to loud noises, ears may become
accustomed to the sound level, which may result in permanent damage to hearing without any noticeable discomfort.
Install the TV where it cannot be pulled, pushed or knocked over.
Do not allow children to hang onto the product.
Store the accessories (remote, batteries, etc.) in a location safely out of the reach of children.
The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages television viewing for children younger than two years of age.
WARNING: Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
• Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.
• Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
• Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and the supporting furniture.
• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
WARNING: To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely
attached to the oor/wall in accordance with the installation
instructions.

TELEVISION ANTENNA CONNECTION PROTECTION

If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be connected to the TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides
information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.

Lightning Protection

For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.

Power Lines

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall into such power lines or circuits. Remember, the screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to earth in the building installation.
