General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
Installation
Follow instructions: Only install this TV set in accordance with the instructions in
this manual. If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be
potentially hazardous due to falling and can cause injury, particularly to children.
• This TV is equipped with standard wall-mounting points, and we recommend that a
wall bracket be installed between the TV and the wall to prevent the TV from falling
from a cabinet. (The bracket is not included.)
To prevent injuries from your television falling, take a few simple precautions:
• When deciding on where to put the TV, make sure the location is:
• Well ventilated, and away from damp and cold.
• Protected from overheating and away from direct sunlight.
• Away from moisture drips or splashes.
• Protected from excessive dust or grease.
• Bookcase: Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a bookcase or
similar unit.
• Heat: Do not install the TV set near heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other
audio visual equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Water: Do not place containers with liquids (such as vases) or with small metallic
objects on top of the unit. If liquid enters the unit or any metal object falls into the
unit, it may result in short-circuit, fire or electric shock.
• Fire or explosion: Do not use or store flammable or combustible materials near the
unit. Doing so may result in fire or explosion. Do not place any naked flame sources,
such as lit candles, cigarettes or incense sticks on top of the TV set.
• Antenna: Install the antenna away from high-voltage power lines and
communication cables and make sure it is installed securely. If the antenna touches
a power line, contact with the antenna could result in fire, electric shock or serious
injury.
• Ventilation: Install the unit at an adequate distance from the wall to ensure sufficient
ventilation. If the temperature inside the unit rises, it may result in fire.
Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
• Voltage: Before installing this TV set, make sure your outlet voltage corresponds to
the voltage stated on the appliance rating label.
• Protect from moisture: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
this appliance to rain or moisture; do not use it anywhere near water; do not touch
the power plug with wet hands.
• Damage: Do not use a damaged power cord, plug or loose outlet. Doing so may
cause an electric shock.
• Power outlet: Do not plug several devices into the same outlet. Doing so may
cause the outlet to overheat and start a fire. Make sure the outlet is readily
accessible during operation of the equipment.
