WARNING

Caution

Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like or extremely low air pressure that can result in an explosion or leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

Stability Hazard

The television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death.

Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
• Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.
• Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
• Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.
  • Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
  If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

Installation/Set-up

Apparatus connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the mains connection or through other apparatus with a connection to protective earthing – and to a television distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection to a television distribution system therefore has to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation below a certain frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).

Ventilation

• Never cover the ventilation holes or insert anything into the cabinet.
• Leave space around the TV set as shown below.
• It is strongly recommended that you use a Sony Wall-Mount Bracket in order to provide adequate air circulation.

• Disconnect the mains lead from the mains socket before working on or moving the TV set.
• Keep the mains lead away from heat sources.
• Unplug the mains plug and clean it regularly. If the plug is covered with dust and it picks up moisture, its insulation may deteriorate, which could result in a fire.

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.
