Wall	mounting	of	the	 TV	should	only	be	
performed by qualified personnel. The TV 
must	only	be	mounted	on	an	appropriate	
wall	bracket	and	on	a	wall	that	can	safely	
hold	the	weight	of	the	 TV.	Improper	wall	
mounting	can	result	in	severe	injur y	or	
damage. Do not attempt to wall mount 
the	 TV	yourself.
If	the	 TV	is	mounted	on	a	swivel	base	or	
swivel	arm, 	ensure	no	strain	is	placed	on	
the	power	cord	when	the	 TV	is	swivelled.	
Strain	on	the	power	cord	can	loosen	
connections and cause arcing or fire. 
Disconnect the TV from the mains and 
antenna before lightning storms. During 
lightning	storms	do	not	touch	any	par t	of	
the	TV,	mains	cord	or	antenna	cable.

mains	cord	for	easy	disconnection	of	the	
TV	from	the	mains.
When	disconnecting	the	TV	from	the	
mains,	be	sure	to: 	
1	 Turn	off	the	 TV,	then	the	mains	power	(if	
available).
2	 Unplug	the	mains	cord	from	the	mains	
socket	outlet.
3	 Unplug	the	mains	cord	from	the	power	
connector	at	the	back	of	the	 TV.	Always

heat	sources	including	direct	sunlight.
Do not place vessels filled with water on 
top	of	or	near	to	the	 TV.	Spilling	water	into	
the	 TV	can	result	in	electric	shock. 	If	you	
spill	water	into	the	TV,	do	not	operate	the	
TV.	Immediately	disconnect	the	 TV	from	
the	power	and	have	the	TV	checked	by	a
