•	 Unplug	the	power	cord	before	cleaning	your	TV.	
•	 When	moving	your	TV	from	an	area	of	low	temperature	to	an	area	of	
high	temperature,	condensation	may	form	in	the	housing.	Wait	before	
turning	on	your	TV	to	avoid	causing	fire,	electric	shock,	or	component	
damage.	
• A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your TV
and	any	heat	source,	such	as	a	radiator,	heater,	oven,	amplifier	etc.	Do	
not	install	your	TV	close	to	smoke.	Operating	your	TV	close	to	smoke	
or	moisture	may	cause	fire	or	electric	shock.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided
for	ventilation.	To	ensure	reliable	operation	of	your	TV	and	to	protect	it	
from	overheating,	be	sure	these	openings	are	not	blocked	or	covered.	
Do	not	place	your	TV	in	a	bookcase	or	cabinet	unless	proper	ventilation	
is	provided.
• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your TV cabinet.
Do	not	place	any	objects	on	the	top	of	your	TV.	Doing	so	could	short	
circuit	parts	causing	a	fire	or	electric	shock.	Never	spill	liquids	on	your	
TV.
• Your TV should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated	on	the	label.	If	you	are	not	sure	of	the	type	of	power	supplied	
to	your	home,	consult	your	dealer	or	local	power	company.
• Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your TV. This may
compromise	the	integrity	of	the	display.	The	manufacturer’s	warranty	
does	not	cover	user	abuse	or	improper	installations.
• The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the
voltage specified. For more information, contact your dealer.
• Your TV is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug (a plug with
a	third	grounding	pin).	This	plug	will	fit	only	into	a	grounded	power	
outlet.	This	is	a	safety	feature.	If	your	outlet	does	not	accommodate	the	
three-pronged,	have	an	electrician	install	the	correct	outlet,	or	use	an	
adapter	to	ground	your	TV	safely.	Do	not	defeat	the	safety	purpose	of	
the	grounded	plug.
• When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your
TV. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.
• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle
is	intended	to	alert	the	user	to	the	presence	of	un-isolated,	dangerous	
voltage	within	the	inside	of	your	TV	that	may	be	of	sufficient	magnitude	
to	constitute	a	risk	of	electric	shock	to	persons.
