• Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such  
additions may cause risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.  
• Do not use the TV receiver where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as  
near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.  
• Do not place the TV receiver on an unstable cart, stand, tripod,  
bracket, or table. The TV receiver may fall, causing injury to  
people and/or damage to the TV. Use only with a cart, stand,  
tripod, bracket, or table not recommended by the manufacturer or  
sold with the TV receiver.  
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when mounting the unit,  
and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.  
Move the TV receiver and its cart with care. Quick stops, excessive  
force, and uneven surfaces may cause the unit and cart to over-  
turn.  
• Provide ventilation for the TV receiver. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for  
ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and  
do not place the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near  
a radiator or heat register. If you place the TV receiver on a rack or bookcase, ensure that  
there is adequate ventilation and that you’ve followed the manufacturer’s instructions for  
mounting.  
• Operate your TV receiver only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.  
If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer  
or local power company.  
• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV is equipped with a polarized  
alternating-current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the  
power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try  
reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.
