carpeting or similar surface because the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit will be blocked, resulting in reduced
lifetime from overheating. To assure adequate ventilation for this product, maintain a spacing of 4 inches from the top
and side of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces.
Also, make sure the stand or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally
tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the TV. Refer to the
Important Safety Instructions on the next page.
The Power button (followed by the power symbol) on this TV and your remote control puts the TV into a very low-
power standby mode but will not completely turn the power off. In order to completely shut the power off, you will
need to disconnect the power cord from the outlet. The mains plug/appliance coupler is used as disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Therefore, you should ensure that the TV is installed in a manner
that allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.
