contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
2 When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed, unplug this television
set from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
3 Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in fire or
electric shock.
4 Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord, and do not
place the TV where the
power cord is subject to traffic or abuse. This may result in a shock or fire
hazard.
5 Do not attempt to service this television set yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
