CHILD SAFETY

It makes a difference how and where you use your flat panel display

As you enjoy your new product, keep these safety tips in mind

The issue

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests, or carts may fall over and cause injury.

Tune into safety

•

•

•

•

•

One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand rated for the weight of your TV.

Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.

Don’t let children climb on or play with entertainment system furniture and TVs.

Don’t place TVs on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a crate or chest of drawers.

Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger-than-life” TV. Make sure that you place or install the TV where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.

Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

Wall mounting

If you decide to wall mount your TV, always remember:

•One size of wall mount does not fit all. Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of your TV and that has been recommended by this TV manufacturer, listed in this manual, or otherwise listed by an independent laboratory as suitable for your TV.

•Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.

•If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a professional installer.

•Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is

appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If you are unsure, ask a professional installer.

•TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.

Important safety instructions

Important safety instructions

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC

SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

This symbol indicates that dangerous voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is present within your TV. This label is located on the back of your TV.

This symbol indicates that there are important operating and maintenance instructions in the literature accompanying your TV.

5 Do not use this apparatus near water.

6 Clean only with a dry cloth.

7Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.

8Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9Do not defeat the 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 or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or

table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution

when moving the cart/apparatus combination to S3125A avoid injury from tip-over.

13Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain readily operable.

16An apparatus with a three-prong, grounding-type plug is a Class I apparatus, which needs to be grounded to prevent possible electric shock. Make sure that you connect this Class I television to a grounding-type, three-prong outlet.

17Remote control batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.

18The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the apparatus.

Warnings

Electric shock hazard

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove any cover or expose the device to rain or moisture. No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service technicians.

Lightning

For added protection for your device receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect any antenna or cable system. This helps prevent property damage and personal injury from lightning and power line surges.

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.

Handling the LCD panel

•Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop your TV or hit, jolt, or press hard against the LCD panel. If the screen breaks, be careful of broken glass.

•If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin inflammation.

•If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle, rinse, and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, personal injury, or other hazards.

Safety check

After completing any service or repair to this device, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that your TV is in correct operating condition.

Power source

Operate your TV only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult an electrician or your local power company.

Cautions

Damage requiring service

Unplug this TV from the power outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

•When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or frayed.

•If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into your TV.

•If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.

Important safety instructions

•If your TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions because incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your TV to its normal operation.

•If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.

•When your TV exhibits a distinct change in performance.

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to correct grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

7Electric service equipment

Note to CATV system installer

Article 820 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides guidance for correct grounding. Specifically, it states that the cable ground must be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Condensation

Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, the TV's performance may be impaired. To prevent this, let the TV stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually. Condensation may also form during the summer if the TV is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the TV.

Mobile telephone warning

To avoid interference with your TV picture and sound, operating problems, or even damage, keep your cordless and cellular telephones away from the TV.

End of life directives

Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated for environmental reasons. Your TV also contains material that can be recycled and reused. For disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eia.org to find a recycler in your area.

Non-active pixels

The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red point. These non-active pixels do not adversely affect the performance of your TV, and are not considered defects.

Using the remote control

Using the remote control

Installing remote control batteries

To install remote control batteries:

1Press down on the battery compartment cover lock, then remove the remote control cover.

2Insert two AAA batteries into the battery compartment. Make sure that the + and – symbols on the batteries match the + and – symbols in the battery compartment.

3Replace the cover. Make sure that the lock snaps into place.

Battery precautions:

•Dispose of batteries as hazardous waste.

•Do not mix batteries of different types.

•Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and can cause old batteries to leak.

•Remove batteries as soon as they become inoperable. Chemicals that can leak from the batteries can cause a rash. If the batteries leak, clean the battery compartment with a cloth.

•If the remote control is not used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries.

•Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or other heat sources.

Aiming the remote control

To aim the remote control:

•Point the remote control towards the remote sensor on the front of your TV.

Notes:

•Do not expose the remote control to shock or liquids.

•Do not use the remote control in an area with high humidity.

•Do not place the remote control in direct sunlight.

•Do not place objects, such as furniture, between the remote control and the remote sensor.

•The remote control may not work if direct sunlight or bright light shines on the remote sensor. Either move your TV or change the angle at which you use the remote control.

Programming a universal remote control to work with your TV

To program your existing universal remote control:

1To program your existing remote control to work with your Dynex TV, see the table below for common codes. If you have problems programming your remote, or need a different remote control code, visit www.dynexproducts.com for the latest remote control code information.

Codes for other remote controls are available online at: http://www.dynexproducts.com/universalcontrolcodes.aspx

Tips:

•The brand name is often visible on the front of the universal remote control, and the model number is often visible on the back.

•The codes shown above are common codes, but are subject to change. Please refer to Dynexproducts.com for the most up to date codes.

•If your universal remote control isn’t listed on the chart, refer to your universal remote control’s instructions and try codes for the brands Orion, Emerson, Memorex, Sansui, Sylvania, or Zenith. You may need to try several codes before finding a match.

2Follow your universal remote control’s instructions to enter the code you found in Step 1.

Tips:

•If your universal remote control has a code search feature, run a code search to identify a code that matches your TV. See your universal remote control’s instructions for details.

•If your universal remote control has a “learn” feature, you can manually program it using your TV remote to “teach” the commands one at a time. See your universal remote control’s instructions for details.

3If all else fails, you must use a different universal remote control that can operate both your set-top box and your TV. Five such remotes are listed on the chart, but many other compatible models are available in the market.

For more help, call technical support for your universal remote control or set-top box manufacturer, or call the Dynex Customer Care Center in the US & Canada at 1-800-305-2204, and in Mexico at 01-800-926-3020.
