swimming pool and in a wet basement.
8. Stand - Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand,

with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be
sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Use only the
mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and
uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the
cart.
10. Ventilation - The vents and other openings in the cabinet are
designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and
openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating
and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product
on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can
block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for
built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed
place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is

12. Power cord protection - The power cords must be routed
properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects
from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.
13. The plasma television used in this product is made of glass.
Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or applied

14. Overloading - Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords.
Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
15. Entering of objects and liquids - Never insert an object into the

product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/
or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water
or liquid on the product.
16. Servicing - Do not attempt to service the product yourself.
Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and other
dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to

have fallen into the product.

request the service technician to perform safety checks to
ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.
