7)Do not block any ventilation openings.Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8)Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9)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 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.
10)Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11)Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with 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 avoid injury from tip-over. 
13)Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14)Refer 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.
15)Apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or splashing, and objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should not be placed on the apparatus.
16)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.
17)Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
18)Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock.Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.

CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the unit if the unit is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly.When this happens, unit's performance will be impaired.To prevent this, let the unit 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 unit is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner.In such cases, change the location of the unit.
HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL
• Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel.It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur.
• 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 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.
Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the LCD Panel for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the LCD Panel and cause subtle but permanent ghost images.This type of damage is NOT COVERED BYYOURWARRANTY.Never leave your LCD Panel on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:
• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns,TV station logos, and websites.
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen.For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal (4:3) display (black bars at top and bottom of screen);or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (black bars on left and right sides of screen).
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation. Therefore we disclaim any responsibility for these symptoms.
• LCD Panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however sometimes parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots.
• Do not install the LCD Panel near electronic equipment that produces electromagnetic waves.Some equipment placed too near this unit may cause interference.
• Effect on infrared devices –There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless headphones.

To prevent electric shock, do not use the television’s (AC) plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
Never connect the television to 50 Hz, direct current, or anything other than the specified voltage.
Warning
