Hitachi 40FHDSM8 Owner's Manual page 6

General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
• Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the
disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
• Power plug: Make sure the plug is properly installed before inserting it fully into the outlet.
A loose or improperly inserted power plug may cause a fire.
• Protect the cord: Do not bend, twist or kink the power cord excessively. Do not allow anything
to rest on or roll over the power cord and antenna cable. Doing so may cause a fire or an
electric shock. Do not run the power cord near heat-producing appliances such as radiators,
stoves or irons. The excessive heat could melt the insulation and expose live wires, resulting in
fire or electric shock.
• Damage: Do not use a damaged power cord, plug or loose outlet. Doing so may cause an
electric shock.
• Disconnect: Always grasp the plug when disconnecting the power cord. Pulling the cord can
damage the internal wire and may cause a fire.
• Terminals: Terminals are HAZARDOUS LIVE and the external wiring connected to these
terminals requires installation by an instructed person or the use of ready-made leads or cords.
• Lightning storms: Unplug this TV during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of
time. Not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
Usage Conditions and Restrictions
• Adjustments: Follow the instructions in this manual when installing and adjusting the TV set.
Only adjust those controls that are covered in this manual, as improper adjustment of other
controls may result in damage. If this happens, unplug the TV set and have it serviced by
appropriately qualified personnel, or phone the after sales support line for advice.
• Ventilation: Do not cover the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers, tablecloths,
curtains etc. as this could impede ventilation.
• Cabinet slots: Do not insert objects of any kind into this unit through the cabinet slots, as they
could touch the current-carrying parts or short-circuit parts, resulting in fire, electric shock or
damage to the unit.
• Smoke or odour: If you notice any unusual odours or smoke around the unit, immediately
disconnect the unit from the outlet and contact the service centre. Failure to do so may result
in fire or electric shock.
• When not in use: When not using the TV for long periods of time, disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet. Dust could accumulate over time on the unit and cause it to generate heat
and ignite, or deteriorate insulation, which may result in an electrical fire.
• Moving: When moving the unit, be sure to turn it off and unplug it from the wall outlet. Moving
the unit with the power cord connected to the outlet may cause damage to the cord, resulting
in fire or electric shock.
