Important Safety Instructions
IMPORTANT WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS!
• Only connect this TV to a mains socket with a protective earthing connection.
• To prevent damage which may result in fire or an electric shock hazard, do not expose this
appliance to rain or moisture.
• Do not change or modify the appliance in any way.
• Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
• Voltage: Before installing this TV, make sure your outlet voltage corresponds to the voltage
stated on the TV’s rating label.
• Protect from moisture: To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this TV to
rain or moisture; do not use it 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
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 properly earthed and readily
accessible during operation of the equipment.
• Power plug: Make sure the plug is properly installed before inserting it fully into the outlet.
A loose or improperly inserted power plug may cause a fire. The mains plug is used as the
power disconnect device and shall remain readily accessible and operable.
The RCM is a visible indication of a product’s compliance with all applicable ACMA
regulatory arrangements, including all technical and record-keeping requirements.

Important Safety Instructions (Cont.)
• Protect the cord: Do not bend, twist or kink the power cord excessively. Do not allow
anything to rest on or roll over the power cord and antenna cable. Doing so may cause a
fire or an electric shock. Do not run the power cord near heat-producing appliances such
as radiators, stoves or irons. The excessive heat could melt the insulation and expose live
wires, resulting in fire or electric shock.
• Disconnect: Always grasp the plug when disconnecting the power cord. Pulling the cord
can damage the internal wire and may cause a fire.
• Disconnect device: Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the
disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
• Lightning storms: Unplug the power cord and antenna cord during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time. Not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
Before lightning storm events arrive, unplug to minimise risk of damage to your TV.
Installation
• Follow instructions: Only install this TV in accordance with these instructions.
• Location: This TV is designed for indoor, fixed location use only. It must not be used in
portable or mobile applications as vibration or excessive forces may damage the unit.
• When deciding on where to put the TV, make sure the place is:
• Well ventilated, and away from damp and cold.
• Protected from overheating and away from direct sunlight. (Total darkness or a
reflection on the picture screen can cause eyestrain. Soft and indirect lighting is

bracket should be installed between the TV and the wall to prevent the TV from falling
from a cabinet. (The bracket is not included.)
• If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially
hazardous due to falling and causing injury, particularly to children. To prevent injuries from
your television falling, take a few simple precautions:
• Do not place the TV on tall furniture (e.g., on a cupboard or bookcase) without
anchoring both the furniture and the TV to a suitable support.
• Only use furniture that can safely support the television.
• Ensure the TV is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

Unpacking and Preparing the TV
Remove the TV carefully from its packaging, be careful not to apply any pressure to
the front of the LCD screen. Some accessory items may be located in cut-out sections
of the internal packaging, so make sure you check the entire packaging to not miss
any items. Once all items are removed from the packaging, use the list below to check
there are no items missing.
