The manual begins with crucial safety instructions, emphasizing the importance of reading and retaining the instructions.

The document also includes general safety guidelines such as avoiding water, ensuring proper ventilation, keeping the TV away from heat sources, and protecting the power cord. It details the safe use of carts, stands, tripods, brackets, or tables, and recommends unplugging the apparatus during lightning storms or extended periods of disuse. The manual specifies that servicing should only be performed by qualified personnel if the apparatus is damaged in any way. It also cautions against exposing the TV to dripping or splashing liquids and states that no objects filled with liquids should be placed on it.
