Safety information

Warning

Warning

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

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the cover (or back). No user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

READ INSTRUCTIONS

Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your ED TV.

RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS

Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.

HEED WARNINGS

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

FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS

Follow all operating and use instructions.

CLEANING

Unplug your ED TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning the exterior cabinet only.

ATTACHMENTS

The manufacturer of your ED TV does not make any recommendations for attachments, because they may cause hazards.

WATER AND MOISTURE

Do not use your ED TV near water, for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

ACCESSORIES

Do not place your ED TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The TV may fall, causing serious bodily injury and serious damage to your TV.

Make sure that you move an ED TV and cart combination with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause your TV and cart combination to overturn.

VENTILATION

Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of your ED TV and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. Do not place your ED TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place your ED TV near or over a radiator or heat source. Do not place your ED TV in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless you provide adequate ventilation or follow the manufacturer's instructions.

POWER SOURCE

Operate your ED TV only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate.

If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your ED TV dealer or local power company.

GROUNDING AND POLARIZATION

Your ED TV is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Instead of the polarized alternating-current line plug, your ED TV may be equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug (a plug having a third grounding pin). This plug will only fit into a grounding-type power outlet. This, too, is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounding-type plug.

POWER CORD PROTECTION

Route power supply cords so they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, wall outlets, and the points where they exit from your ED TV.

LIGHTNING

To protect your ED TV in a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.

This will prevent damage to your ED TV from lightning and power line surges.

POWER LINES

Do not locate an outside antenna system in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall onto or against such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, take extreme care to keep from touching such power lines or circuits because contact with them might be fatal.

OVERLOADING

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

OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your ED TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 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 antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Do not push objects through any openings in your ED TV because they may touch dangerous voltage points or short circuit parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into your ED TV.

SERVICING

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

DAMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE

Unplug your ED TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

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

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

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

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

•If your ED TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.

•If your ED TV exhibits a distinct change in performance, it may indicate a need for service.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

When replacement parts are required, make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original parts.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

SAFETY CHECK

Upon completion of any service or repairs to your ED TV, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that your ED TV is in correct operating condition.

IS-EDPLTV42 42-inch ED TV

HEAT

Locate your ED TV away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

CONNECTING

When you connect your ED TV to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlets. Failure to do so may cause an electric shock and serious personal injury. Read the owner's manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when making any connections.

SOUND VOLUME

Reduce the volume to a low level before you turn on your ED TV. Otherwise, the sudden, high volume sound may cause hearing loss or speaker damage.

SOUND DISTORTION

If your ED TV outputs distorted sound for an extended period of time, the speakers may overheat and cause a fire.

HEADPHONES

When you use the headphones, keep the volume at a moderate level. If you use the headphones continuously with high volume sound, it may cause hearing damage.

NOTE TO CABLE SYSTEM TV INSTALLER

This reminder is provided to call the cable TV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for correct grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Features

Your ED TV has the following features:

•TV receiver, video monitor, and PC display all-in-one

•Wide view angle, 16:9 display with over 150° viewing angle, 16:9 ergonomic display panel

•Pure images without distortion or blurring, regardless of magnetic or geomagnetic affect

•Make sure that the location you choose provides adequate ventilation. Inadequate ventilation can cause overheating and damage to your ED TV.

•Place your ED TV in a location with easy access to a wall outlet.

Note Contact your local dealer for help in mounting your ED TV on the wall.

Installing the remote control batteries

To install the remote control batteries:

1Open the battery cover.

2Insert two AAA batteries. Make sure that the +/– symbols on the battery match the +/–marks inside the battery compartment.

CONNECTING TO A CABLE TV

Your ED TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some Cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a converter box, which is generally provided by the cable company.
