Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
(harmful) interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired
operation (of the device).

Any changes or modifications in construction
of this device which are not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.

CAUTION

that produce heat.

Do not defeat the

5

safety purpose of
the polarized or
grounding-type plug.
A polarized plug has
two blades with one
wider than the other.
A grounding type
plug has two blades
and a third grounding
prong, The wide blade

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Never touch this apparatus or antenna

11 14

during a thunder or lighting storm.

Do not allow an impact shock or any

12

objects to fall into the product, and
do not drop onto the screen with
something.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord:

13

It is recommend that appliances be
placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is,
a single outlet circuit which powers only
that appliance and has no additional
outlets or branch circuits. Check the
specification page of this owner’s
manual to be certain.

Do not connect too many appliances to
the same AC power outlet as this could
result in fire or electric shock.

Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded
wall outlets, loose or damaged wall
outlets, extension cords, frayed power
cords, or damaged or cracked wire
insulation are dangerous . Any of these
conditions could result in electric shock
or fire. Periodically examine the cord of
your appliance, and if its appearance
indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of the
appliance, and have the cord replaced
with an exact replacement part by an
authorized servicer. Protect the power
cord from physical or mechanical abuse,
such as being twisted, kinked, pinched,
closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay
particular attention to plugs, wall outlets,
and the point where the cord exits the
appliance.

Do not make the TV with the power cord
plugged in. Do not use a damaged or
loose power cord. Be sure do grasp the
plug when unplugging the power cord.
Do not pull on the power cord to unplug
the TV.

place objects filled with
liquids, such as vases,
cups, etc. on or over the
apparatus (e.g. on shelves
above the unit).

GROUNDING

Ensure that you connect the earth
ground wire to prevent possible electric
shock (i.e. a TV with a three-prong
grounded AC plug must be connected
to a three-prong grounded AC outlet).
If grounding methods are not possible,
have a qualified electrician install a
separate circuit breaker.

Do not try to ground the unit by
connecting it to telephone wires,
lightening rods, or gas pipes.

or benzene.

Moving

20

Make sure the product is turned off,
unplugged and all cables have been
removed. It may take 2 or more people
to carry larger TVs. Do not press against
or put stress on the front panel of the
T V.

ANTENNAS

21

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow
the precautions below. An outdoor
antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can come in contact with
such power lines or circuits as death or
serious injury can occur.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static
charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. provides
information with respect 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.

Ventilation

22

Install your TV where there is proper
ventilation. Do not install in a confined
space such as a bookcase. Do not
cover the product with cloth or other
materials (e.g.) plastic while plugged
in. Do not install in excessively dusty
places.

Take care not to touch the ventilation

23

openings. When watching the TV for a
long period, the ventilation openings
may become hot.

If you smell smoke or other odors

24

coming from the TV or hear strange
sounds, unplug the power cord contact
an authorized service center.

Do not press strongly

25

upon the panel with
hand or sharp object
such as nail, pencil
or pen, or make a
scratch on it.

Keep the product away from direct

26

sunlight.

Dot Effect

27

The Plasma or LCD panel is a high
technology product with resolution of
two million to six million pixels. In a
very few cases, you could see fine dots
on the screen while you’re viewing the
TV. Those dots are deactivated pixels
and do not affect the performance and
reliability of the TV.

Generated Sound

28

“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise
that occurs when watching or
turning off the TV is generated by
plastic thermal contraction due to
temperature and humidity. This
noise is common for products where
thermal deformation is required.

Electrical circuit humming/
panel buzzing: A low level noise
is generated from a high-speed
switching circuit, which supplies a
large amount of current to operate a
product. It varies depending on the
product.

This generated sound does not
affect the performance and reliability
of the product.

ON DISPOSAL

The fluorescent lamp used in this product contains a small amount of mercury. Do not
dispose of this product with general household waste. Disposal of this product must be
carried out in accordance to the regulations of your local authority.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO PREVENT “IMAGE
BURN / BURN-IN” ON YOUR TV SCREEN

a When a fixed image (e.g. logos, screen menus, video game, and computer display) is

displayed on the TV for an extended period, it can become permanently imprinted on
the screen. This phenomenon is known as “image burn” or “burn-in.” Image burn is
not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

a In order to prevent image burn, avoid displaying a fixed image on your TV screen for a

prolonged period (2 or more hours for LCD).

a Image burn can also occur on the letter-boxed

areas of your TV if you use the 4:3 aspect ratio
setting for an extended period.

Securing the TV to the Wall to Prevent Falling
When the TV is Used on a Stand

r You should purchase necessary components to prevent the TV from tipping over.

r Image shown may differ from your TV.

PREPARATION

We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed
backwards.

Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in
a forward direction, potentially causing injury or damaging the product.

Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.

r Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as

shown in the picture.

* If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts,

loosen the bolts.

* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper

holes.

Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (sold separately) to the wall. Match the height
of the bracket that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.

Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.

14

r Use a sturdy rope (sold separately) to tie the product. It is safer

to tie the rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and the
product.

NOTE

a Use a platform or cabinet strong enough and large enough to support the size

and weight of the TV.

a To use the TV safely make sure that the height of the bracket on the wall and the

one on the TV are the same.
