Safety Instructions

WARNING! STOP Before using your new product, please read these instructions to prevent any damage. Do not plug your power cord in until all other devices have been connected. Your TV has four VESA mounting holes on the back. You must secure a wall-mount bracket to all four holes. If you do not use all four holes, your TV may fall and cause property damage or personal injury. To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire: Do not expose to rain or moisture; do not block ventilation openings; operate on a grounded 120V outlet; unplug before servicing. Avoid using near water, heat sources, or with damaged cords. Unplug during lightning storms or extended non-use. Do not overload outlets or use extension cords. Secure TV to prevent tip-over; use two people for installation. Loud sounds can damage hearing; keep away from children.

CAUTION! Clean with dry cloth only; unplug before cleaning; wait for condensation to clear after temperature changes. Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
