direct sunlight and away
from heat, as high
temperatures can damage
the cabinet, CRT, or other
electronic parts.
Never insert or drop any
metallic or inflammable
objects into the ventilation
holes of the TV set, this
can cause fire, electrical
shock, or electrical failure.
Do not place a flower vase
or anything else containing
liquid on the TV set, as
liquid spilt on the TV set
can cause serious
problems.
Unplug the power cord
from the wall outlet

an odd smell, then call our
service centre for service.

shock, do not use the TV
set in an excessively damp
place.

holes at the back of the TV
set, this can cause fire or
other serious problems.
Leave an adequate open
space behind the TV set
