								ROKU-TV	USER	GUIDE	v		Important information 		The	lightning	flash	with	arrowhead	symbol,	within	an	equilateral	triangle	is	intended	to	alert	the	user	to	the	presence	of	uninsulated	dangerous	voltage	within	the	product's	enclosure	that	may	be	of	sufficient	magnitude	to	constitute	a	risk	of	electric	shock.	The	exclamation	point	within	an	equilateral	triangle	is	intended	to	alert	the	user	to	the	presence	of	important	operating	and	maintenance	(servicing)	instructions	in	the	literature	accompanying	the	product.		This	symbol	indicates	that	this	product	incorporates	double	insulation	between	hazardous	main	voltage	and	user	accessible	parts.	When	servicing,	use	only	identical	replacement	parts.	WARNING:	To	reduce	the	risk	of	fire	or	electric	shock,	do	not	expose	this	product	to	rain	or	moisture.	This	product	should	not	be	exposed	to	dripping	or	splashing.	No	objects	filled	with	liquids,	such	as	vases,	should	be	placed	on	or	near	the	product.	WARNING:	The	TV	is	unstable	if	it	is	not	properly	attached	to	the	base	or	mounted	to	the	wall.	Be	sure	to	follow	the	base	or	wall	mounting	instructions	provided	in	the	User’s	Guide	to	ensure	your	safety.	WARNING:	Do	not	expose	batteries	to	excessive	heat	such	as	sunshine,	fire,	and	so	forth.	Proper operating voltage Refer	to	the	identification/rating	label	located	on	the	back	panel	of	your	product	for	its	proper	operating	voltage.	Cable TV installer notice of proper grounding This	reminder	is	provided	to	call	your	attention	to	Article	820-40	of	the	National	Electrical	Code	(Section	54	of	the	Canadian	Electrical	Code,	Part	1)	which	provides	guidelines	for	proper	grounding	and,	in	particular,	specifies	that	the	cable	ground	should	be	connected	to	the	grounding	system	of	the	building	as	close	to	the	point	of	cable	entry	as	practical.	Installation location Important:	This	television	is	a	table	model	and	is	designed	to	sit	on	a	firm,	flat	surface.	Don’t	place	the	TV	on	soft	carpeting	or	similar	surface	because	the	ventilation	slots	on	the	bottom	of	the	unit	will	be	blocked,	resulting	in	reduced	lifetime	from	overheating.	To	assure	adequate	ventilation	for	this	product,	maintain	a	spacing	of	4	inches	from	the	top	and	side	of	the	TV	receiver	and	2	inches	from	the	rear	of	the	TV	receiver	and	other	surfaces.		Also,	make	sure	the	stand	or	base	you	use	is	of	adequate	size	and	strength	to	prevent	the	TV	from	being	accidentally	tipped	over,	pushed	off,	or	pulled	off	the	stand.	This	could	cause	personal	injury	and/or	damage	to	the	TV.	Refer	to	the	Important	Safety	Instructions	on	the	following	pages.	Low power standby mode The	Power	button	(indicated	by	the	power	symbol)	on	this	TV	and	its	remote	control	puts	the	TV	into	a	very	low	power	standby	mode	but	does	not	completely	turn	the	power	off.	To	completely	shut	the	power	off,	you	must	disconnect	the	power	cord	from	the	power	outlet.	The	mains	plug/appliance	coupler	is	used	as	a	disconnect	device.	Therefore,	you	should	be	sure	that	the	TV	is	installed	in	a	manner	to	enable	the	power	cord	to	be	disconnected	when	necessary.		Note:	In	situations	where	the	power	plug	or	appliance	coupler	is	used	as	the	disconnect	device,	the	disconnect	device	shall	remain	readily	accessible	and	operable.
