Please read all safety and operating instructions in this manual carefully, and keep this manual for future reference.

Important Safety Instructions

Be sure to observe the following instructions and precautions to ensure safe use of this TV.

Installation

1)Always connect the power plug to an appropriate electrical outlet equipped with A model: 220-240V, AC 50Hz, E model: 220240V, AC 50/60Hz and T model: 110-240V, AC 50/60Hz.

Never use the TV outside the specified voltage range. It may cause a fire or an electric shock.

Ex. 220-240V AC, 50/60Hz

Check!

WARNING ABOUT THREE-WIRE GROUNDING-TYPE PLUG: (Only for E models)

This product shall be connected to a main socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

Never remove the earthing pin on the power plug. This system is equipped with a three pin earthing-type power plug. This plug will only fit an earthing-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace the wall outlet.

Never defeat the purpose of the earthing plug.

About the fuse

In a three pin earthing-type, the fuse fitted in this plug is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. It should only be replaced by a correctly rated and approved type and the fuse cover must be refitted.

2)Never insert or remove the power plug with wet hands.

This may cause an electric shock.

3)Never place the TV in an unstabilized location such as on a shaky table, incline or location subject to vibration.

The TV may drop or fall off which may cause an injury or damage.

4)Never block or cover the slots and openings in the cabinet.

Never place the TV so that it is facing upward or on its side.

Never place the TV in a closet, bookcase or other similar area where the ventilation is poor.

Never drape a newspaper, tablecloth or curtain on the TV.

When installing the TV against a wall, always keep the TV at least 10 cm away from the wall.

Never place the TV on a soft unstable surface, such as a carpet, or a cushion.

The inside of this TV will overheat if the ventilation holes are covered, blocked or sealed, which may result in a fire.

Introduction

5)Never place the TV near a heater or in direct sunlight.

The surface of the cabinet or power cord may melt and result in a fire or an electric shock.

6)Never place the TV in an area exposed to high humidity levels, such as in a bathroom or close to a humidifier.

This may cause a fire or an electric shock.

7)Never place the TV next to a stove where it will be exposed to oil, smoke, or steam, or in a location where there is a large quantity of dust.

This may cause a fire or an electric shock.

8)Install the TV in a horizontal, stable location. Connect between two clips on the back of the TV and a wall, pillar, etc., with a sturdy tie and clip of supplied accessories (- page 35).

Use as short a tie as possible to ensure the TV is stable.

Introduction

10)Precautions for installing on outdoor antenna

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines, or other electric light or power circuits.

If the antenna falls down or drops, it may cause an injury or an electric shock.

3)Never insert objects (metal or paper) or pour water inside the TV through ventilation holes and other openings.

These items may cause a fire or an electric shock. If these objects are inserted inside the TV, turn off the TV and remove the power plug from the outlet immediately and contact a service technician. Be especially careful that children do not insert objects in the TV.

Use

1)Never place hot objects or open flame sources, such as lighted candles or nightlights, on or close to the TV.

High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.

2)The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.

When liquids are spilled or small items are dropped inside the TV, this may cause a fire or an electric shock.

Clip

4)Never stand or climb on the TV.

Be especially careful in households with children to prevent them through climbing on top of the TV. It may move, fall over, break, become damaged or cause an injury.

5)When the TV will not be used for a long period of time, such as during vacation or travel, remove the power plug from the wall outlet for safety.

The TV is not completely disconnected from the power supply line, as minute current is consumed even when the ! Power switch is turned off.

The Mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, therefore the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
