It makes a difference how and where you use

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

CHILD SAFETY

your flat panel display

As you enjoy your new product, keep

these safety tips in mind

• 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 to 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

If you decide to wall mount your TV, always:

• 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 (such as UL, CSA, or ETL) 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.

Safety information

War ning : 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 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.

War ning : Your TV contains a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount

of mercury. Disposa l 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 instructions for future reference.

Follow warnings and instructions

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

Water and moisture

Do not use your TV near water. For example, do not use it near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or 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.

Note: If your TV requires uninterrupted service for some specific reason,

such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV converter, ignore the instruction to unplug your TV before cleaning.

Venti lation

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

Do not use attachments not recommended by Dynex because they may cause hazards.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

Features

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.

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 detailed 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.

Power lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light of 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.

Te mp era t ur e

Do not use in hot or cold locations. If you use your TV in a cold location, the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction. Your TV will return to normal operation when the temperature returns to normal. Do not leave your TV in a hot or cold location. Do not install your TV in a location that is exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater. The cabinet may warp and the screen may malfunction. Storage temperature: 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C) Operating temperature: 41°F to 104°F (5°C to 40°C)

After Image

If you display a fixed image on the screen for an extended amount of time, a permanent after image may be burned into the screen. To avoid this type of damage:

• Reduce the brightness and contrast settings to a minimum viewing level.

• Do not display a fixed image for an extended period of time. Examples of fixed images include logos, video games, computer images, teletext, and images displayed in 4:3 mode. This type of damage is not covered by your warranty.

• Turn off your TV when it is not in use

Outdoor antenna grounding
