For the set with a three-wire grounding type AC
plug
This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power
outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician
to have a suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounding plug.
Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords or
convenience receptacles beyond their capacity, since
this can result in fire or electric shock.
Always turn the set off when it is not being used.
When the set is left unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet as a
precaution against the possibility of an internal
malfunction that could create a fire hazard.
If a snapping or popping sound from a TV set is
continuous or frequent while the TV is operating,
unplug the TV and consult your dealer or service
technician. It is normal for some TV sets to make
occasional snapping or popping sounds, particularly
when being turned on or off.
AC power cord
If you damage the AC power cord, it may result in fire or electric shock.
s Do not pinch, bend, or twist the cord excessively. The core lines
may be bared and cut, and cause short-circuit, resulting in fire or
electric shock.
s Do not convert or damage the AC power cord or display interface
cable.
s Do not put anything heavy on the AC power cord. Do not pull the
AC power cord.

the cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
set.

or something flammable enters, it may result in fire or
electric shock.
Cleaning
