Safety Instructions
11. Power Sources
This product should be operated only from the type of power
source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of
the type of power supply to your home, consult your product
dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating
instructions.
12. Power-Cord Polarization
This product is equipped with a three-wire grounding type
plug, a plug having a third (grounding) pin. This plug will only
fit into the grounding-type power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact
your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.
13. Power-Cord Protection
Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or
against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the product.
14. Lightning

as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical
Code (U.S.A.), ANSI/ NFPA 70 provides information with
regard to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge
unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
Example of Grounding According to National
Electrical Code Instructions
NEC - National Electrical Code
16. Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such
power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Note:
1. If the LCD TV is brought indoors from a cold environment, you may experience a small “flicker” when the LCD
TV is switched on. This is normal, there is nothing wrong with the television.
2. If possible, use the VESA 1,024 x 768 @ 60Hz video mode to obtain the best image quality for your LCD TV.
When used as a PC monitor a vertical frequency of 85Hz may cause noise in PIP mode. In this case, set the PC
vertical frequency to 60Hz. The LCD TV has been pre-adjusted to the mode VESA 1,024 x 768 @ 60Hz.
