Important Safeguards

1. READ INSTRUCTIONS - All the safety and operating instructions should be
read 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 adhered to.
4. FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS - All operating and use instructions should be
followed.
5. CLEANING - Unplug TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use
liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and, that for
some specifi c reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization
code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for
cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging the
appliance in the cleaning description otherwise required in item 5.
6. ATTACHMENTS - Do not use attachments not recommended by the TV
manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE - Do not use this TV near water, for example, near a
bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near
a swimming pool, and the like.
8. ACCESSORIES - Do not place this TV on an unstable cart,
stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV may fall, causing
serious injury to someone, and serious damage to the
appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the TV.
Any mounting of the appliance should follow the
manufacturer's instructions and should use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. 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.
AMEUBLES - Cet appareil ne doit être placé que sur un
meuble (avec ou sans roulettes) recommandé par le
fabricant. Si vous l'installez sur un meuble à roulettes,
déplacez les deux ensembles avec précaution. Un arrêt
brusque, l'utilisation d'une force excessive et des surfaces
irrégulières risquent de déstabiliser l'ensemble et de le
renverser.
9. VENTILATION - Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom
are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the TV and to
protect it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered.
The openings should never be blocked by placing the TV on a bed, sofa, rug,
or other similar surface. This TV should never be placed near or over a radiator
or heat register. This TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as
a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer'
s instructions have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCES - This TV should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company. For TVs intended to operate from battery power, or other sources,
refer to the operating instructions.
11. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION - This TV is equipped with a polarized
alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other).
This plug will fi t into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature.
If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the
plug. If the plug should still fail to fi t, contact your electrician to replace your
obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
12. 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 at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
13. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - If an outside antenna or cable system
is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70,
provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and

15. POWER LINES - An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of power circuits, or
where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
16. OVERLOADING - Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this
can result in a risk of fi re or electric shock.
