correspondante de la prise et pousser jusqu’au fond.
Se reporter à l’étiquette d’identification/capacité nominale située sur le panneau arrière du produit pour connaître
le voltage de fonctionnement adéquat.
Attention : L’utilisation de jeux vidéo ou de tout autre accessoire projetant des images fixes pendant des périodes
prolongées peut entraîner une impression permanente sur l’écran (ou sur l’écran des téléviseurs à projection).
DE PLUS, certains logos de réseaux/programmes, numéros de téléphone, etc., peuvent entraîner des
dommages similaires. Ces dommages ne sont pas couverts par votre garantie.
À l’installateur de la câblodistribution : Ce rappel à pour but d’attirer attention sur l’article 54 du Code
canadien de l’électricité, partie 1 (article 820-40 du code de l’électricité des États-Unis) qui énonce des directives
de mise à la terre et stipule que le fil de terre du câble doit être connecté au système de mise à la terre de
l’édifice, aussi près que possible du point d’entrée.

8. Ne pas installer près d’une source de chaleur, comme des radiateurs, des registres de chaleur, des poêles ou autres appareils
(comme des amplificateurs) qui produisent de la chaleur.
9. Ne pas modifier les éléments de sécurité de lafiche polarisée ou de la fiche avec mise à la terre. Une fiche polarisée est
composée de deux lames dont l’une est plus large. Une fiche de type mise à la terre comporte deux lames et une troisième
sous forme de broche. La lame la plus large ou la troisième broche sont fournies pour votresécurité. Si la fiche fournie ne
rentre pas dans votre prise,consultez un électricien pour qu’il remplace la prise désuète.
10. Protéger le cordon d’alimentation de manière à ce qu’on ne puisse marcher dessus ou le pincer, surtout au niveau de la fiche,
de la prise ou à la sortie du cordon de l’appareil.
11. N’utiliser que les raccords ou les accessoires spécifiés par le fabricant.
12. Utiliser seulement un chariot,un pied, un trépied, un support ou une tablerecommandés ou vendus par le
fabricant. Si un chariot est utilisé, déplacer avec précaution l’ensemble chariot / appareil afin d’éviter qu’il
ne bascule et entraîne des blessures.
13. Débrancher cet appareil pendant les orages électriques ou s’il n’est pas utilisé pendant de longues périodes.
14. Confier l’entretien à du personnel qualifié. Faire réparer l’appareillage s’il a été endommagé de quelque manière, comme un

Si l’utilisateur tente d’ouvrir le boîtier ou de procéder à d’autres manœuvres pour effectuer lui-même l’entretien sur ce
téléviseur, il peut en résulter des blessures graves, voire même la mort, des suites d’électrocution, et cela peut aussi
augmenter les risques d’incendie.
