Safety information
This product was designed and manufactured to meet strict quality and safety standards. There are, however, some installation

equipment and save them for future reference.
1. Read Instructions — All the safety and operating instructions should be read and understood before the appliance is
operated.
2. Retain Instructions — The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
3. Heed Warnings — All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be followed.
4. Follow Instructions — All operating and use instructions should be followed.
5. Water and Moisture — The appliance should not be used near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, etc.
6. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause
the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
7. Tilt/Stability — All televisions must comply with recommended international global safety standards for tilt and stability
properties of their cabinet design. Do not compromise these design standards by applying excessive pull force to the front,
or top, of the cabinet, which could ultimately overturn the product. Also, do not endanger yourself, or children, by placing
electronic equipment/toys on top of the cabinet. Such items could unexpectedly fall from the top of the set and cause product
damage and/or personal injury.
8. Ventilation — The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with its proper ventilation.
For example, the appliance should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface that may block the ventilation
openings; or, placed in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or cabinet that may impede the ow of air through the
ventilation openings. Do not block ventilation holes by placing items such as magazines, clothing, etc., on top of the unit.
9. Heat — The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
appliances (including ampliers) that produce heat.
10. Power Cord Protection — Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by
items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the appliance.
11. Object and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any kind into this product through cabinet slots, as they may touch
dangerous voltage points or short the parts, resulting in the risk of re or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on this
product.
12. Damage Requiring Service — The appliance should be serviced by qualied service personnel when:
A. the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed;
B. liquid has spilled into the product;
C. the product has been exposed to rain or water;
D. the product does not operate normally when you follow the operating instructions (adjust only those controls that are
discussed in this guide, as improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage, often requiring extensive work by a
qualied technician to restore the product to normal performance);
E. the product has been dropped or the cabinet damaged;
F. the product exhibits a distinct change in performance.
13. Servicing — The user should not attempt service to the appliance beyond that described in the Troubleshooting section of
this guide. All other servicing should be referred to qualied service personnel.
14. Cleaning — Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners; use a
damp cloth for cleaning. If the product comes in contact with any liquid, unplug the power cord and let the unit dry thoroughly
before plugging it back in.
15. Power Source — This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label or in
this guide. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
16. Overloaded Power Outlets — do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in the risk of re or electric
shock.
17. Coaxial Cable Grounding — For this product, the coaxial cable shield/screen shall be grounded as close as practical to the
point of entry of the cable into the building. This is per Article 800-93 and Article 800-100 of the NEC, which provides guidelines
for proper grounding of the coaxial cable shield.
18. Electric Shock — To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this product. Take it to a qualied service person
when service or repair work is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other risks.
Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when this product is subsequently used.
19. Moving — Avoid moving the unit while it is plugged in to avoid accumulative shock.
20. CAUTION — Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type
recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
