SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! DO NOT OPEN! RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the back
cover. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Removing the
back cover voids the warranty. Have your LCD TV repaired by
qualified service personnel only.
 Do not place your hands, face, or objects close to the ventilation openings of
your LCD TV. The top of your LCD TV gets very hot from exhaust air that is
released through the ventilation openings. Burns or personal injuries may occur if
you are too close to the LCD TV. Damage may occur if you place any object near
the top of your LCD TV.
 Disconnect all cables before moving your LCD TV. Moving your LCD TV with its
cables attached may damage the cables and cause fire or electric shock danger.
 Do not expose your LCD TV to rain or moisture.
 Keep your LCD TV away from excessive dust, high temperatures, moisture, or
direct sunlight.
 Use your LCD TV in a well-ventilated area and do not cover the ventilation
openings.
 Do not modify your LCD TV or use an unshielded power cord or video input
source cable, or you may experience excessive interference.
 Disconnect your LCD TV and unplug the power cord when the TV is not used for
a long period of time.
 If the picture displayed is in any way abnormal, turn off your LCD TV, then
disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Make sure that your video input source
cable is connected correctly, then reconnect your LCD TV to the electrical outlet.
 Disconnect your LCD TV from the electrical outlet before cleaning or performing
maintenance. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a slightly damp
cloth for cleaning.
 Do not place your LCD TV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Your LCD TV
may fall, causing serious damage.
