determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antennas.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

approved in this manual could void your authority to operate this
equipment.
Safety

The plug is designed, for safety purposes, to fit into the wall
outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, contact your dealer.
If any liquid or solid object should fall inside the cabinet,
unplug the TV immediately and have it checked by qualified
service personnel before operating it further.
Installing
To prevent internal heat buildup, do not block the ventilation
openings.
Do not install the TV in a hot or humid place, or in a place
subject to excessive dust or mechanical vibration.
The AC power cord is attached to the rear of the TV with
hooks. Do not attempt to remove the cord from these hooks.
