What safety precautions should I follow to prevent my TV from being damaged?

Before connecting other components to your TV, switch off the power. Do not block any ventilation openings on the TV. Do not install the TV near heat sources such as radiators, heaters, or ovens—maintain at least three feet distance. Do not expose the TV to moisture or rain. Never push objects into slots and openings, and do not place objects on top of the TV. Unplug the TV during lightning storms or when unused for long periods. (Page 2-3)
