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 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
Important: This TV is intended to be supported by a UL listed Wall Mount Bracket, marked with the minimum loading weight of 17.2lb (7.8kg).
If you decide to wall mount your TV, always:
•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. One size of wall mount does not fit all.
•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.

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 mains plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain readily operable.
16The apparatus with grounding-type plug is a class I apparatus. Class I apparatus need to be connected to earth ground wire to prevent possible electric shock. Make sure that you connect the class I apparatus to a mains socket outlet with a protective grounded connection.
17Remote control batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.
18The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall 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 TV 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.

•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.

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.

Codes for other remote controls are available online at:
www.dynexproducts.com\t-customer_support.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.
•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 at 1-800-305-2204. For Mexico markets, call 01-800-926-3020.
