Information
How to secure the cables.
After connecting all of the cables to the terminals, secure them with the clamps.
When you secure the cables, please be careful not to tighten too much.
CAUTION
Use only the Power Cord provided.
Do not use a power supply voltage other than that indicated (AC220-240V, 50Hz). It may cause fi re or electric shock.
For the LCD television, a three-core power cord with a ground terminal is used for effi ciency protection. Always be sure 
to connect the 
Power Cord to a grounded outlet and make sure that the cord is properly grounded. If you use a power 
source converter plug, use an outlet with a ground terminal and screw down the ground line.
Connection to a Cable Distribution System is to be provided through a galvanic isolator.
Ensure that both ends of power cord are easily accessible.
If you have to change the power cord, please use the certifi ed power cord that meets your region’s safety standard.
