Safety information

Warning

T o reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover or
back. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer
servicing to qualified service personnel.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your
TV to rain or moisture.

Caution

To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade on the power
cord plug to the wide slot on an electric outlet. If the plug does
not fit, consult a licensed electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not modify the power cord plug, or you will defeat
this safety feature.

This symbol indicates that dangerous
voltage con stituting a risk of el ectric shoc k
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 literatur e accompan ying
your TV.

Warning

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. For
disposal or recycling information, contact your local authorities
or the Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eia.org.

Read instructions

Read all of the safety and operating instructions
before you use your TV.

Retain instructions

Retain safety and operating instructio ns for future
reference.

Follow warnings and instructions

Follow all warnings on your TV and in the operating
instructions. Follow all operating and use instructions.

Wate r and moisture

Do not use your TV near water. For example, do not
use it near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink,
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming
pool.

Cleaning

Unplug your TV before cleaning. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Use only a damp cloth to clean the
exterior of your TV.

Ventilation

Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or
bottom are provided for ventilation, reliable operation,
and protection from overheating. These openings
must not be blocked or covered. Do not block the
openings by placing your TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or
other similar surface. Do not place your TV near or
over a radiator or heat register. Do not place your TV
in a built-in installation, such as a bookcase or rack,
unless you provide correct ventilation or follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Heat

Make sure that your TV is located away from heat
sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other products (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.

Grounding or polarization

Do 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 grounding prong. The wide
blade or grounding prong are provided for your safety .
If the plug does not fit, contact an electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet.

Power cord protection

Route power cords so that they are not likely to be
walked on or pinched by items placed on or against
them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs,
convenience receptacles, and the point where they
exit from your TV.

Attachments

Use only attachments recommended by Dynex.

Stand

Do not place your TV on an unstable cart, stand,
tripod, bracket, or table. Your TV may fall, causing
serious personal injury and serious damage to your
TV. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with
your TV. If you mount your TV to the wall, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions and use a mounting
accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Your
TV and cart combination should be moved with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces
may cause your TV and cart combination to overturn.

Lightning

For added protection for your TV’s 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 the antenna or cable
system. This helps prevent damage to your TV from
lightning and power line surges.

Servicing

Do not attempt to service your TV yourself because
opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, make sure that
the service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same
characteristic s as the or ig in al part. Unauthor i zed
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock,
personal injury, or other hazards.

Overloading

Do not overload power outlets and extension cords
because this can result in a risk of fire or electric
shock.

Object and liquid entry

Never push objects of any kind into your TV through
openings because objects may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a
fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on
your TV.

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.

Replacement parts

When replacement parts are required, make sure that
the service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer that have the same
characteristic s as the or ig in al part. Unauthor i zed
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock,
personal injury, or other hazards.

Safety check

After completing any service or repair to this TV, 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 your
TV dealer or local power company.

Screen protection

Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop your
TV or hit the glass screen. If the screen breaks, be
careful of broken glass.

Pixel defect

Your TV’s screen is designed to display finely detaile
pictures. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may
appear on the screen as fixed points of blue, green,
or red. This is not a defect and does not affect your
TV’s performance.

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected t
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 81
of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70,
provides information with respect to correct groundin
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.

close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Mobile telephone warning

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

can connect your cable TV directly to your TV. If you
have a converter/descrambler box, you can connect
your cable TV using an RF switch (not supplied). For
more information about connecting a
converter/descramble box, contact your cable TV
provider.
