Safety information
Warning
Warning
READ INSTRUCTIONS
Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your
HD TV.
R
ETAIN INSTRUCTIONS
Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
H
EED WARNINGS
Follow to all warnings on your HD TV and in the operating
instructions.
F
OLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
Follow all operating and use instructions.
C
LEANING
Unplug your HD 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.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose your
HD 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.

ATTACHMENTS
The manufacturer of your HD TV does not make any
recommendations for attachments, because they may cause hazards.
ATER AND MOISTURE
W
Do not use your HD TV near water, for example, near a bathtub,
washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool.
CCESSORIES
A
Do not place your HD 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 HD TV and cart combination with care.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause your
TV and cart combination to overturn.
ENTILATION
V
Slots and openings in the cabinet back or bottom are provided for
ventilation to ensure reliable operation of your HD TV and to protect it
from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered.
Do not place your HD TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
Do not place your HD TV near or over a radiator or heat source. Do
not place your HD TV in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or
rack unless you provide adequate ventilation or follow the
manufacturer's instructions.
P
OWER SOURCE
Operate your HD 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 HD TV dealer or local power company.
G
ROUNDING AND POLARIZATION
Your HD 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 HD 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 HD TV.
IGHTNING
L
To protect your HD 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 HD TV from lightning and power line
surges.
P
OWER 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.
VERLOADING
O
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can
result in a risk of fire or electri c shock.
O
UTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your HD 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.

Do not push objects through any openings in your HD 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 HD TV.
S

Do not attempt to service your HD TV yourself, because opening or
removing covers may expose you to dangerous electrical voltage or
other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
AMAGE REQUIRING SERVICE
D
Unplug your HD 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 HD TV.
• If your HD TV has been exposed to rain or water.
• If your HD 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
HD TV to normal operation.
• If your HD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
• If yo ur HDTV exhibit s a di st i nc t c h an ge in perf ormanc e, it may
indicate a need for service.
R

technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or
those tha t have the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other
hazards.

registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
ONNECTING
C
When you connect your HD 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.

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.
N
OTE 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.

CONNECTING TO A CABLE TV
Your HD 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.
