Important safeguards

Read instructions– Read all the safety and operating instructions before operating your TV.
Retain Instructions–Retain the safety and operating instructions for future reference.
Follow Warnings–Follow all warnings on your TV and in the operating instructions.
Follow Instructions–Follow all operating and use instructions.
Cleaning–Unplug TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
EXCEPTION: A product that is meant for uninterrupted service and, that for some specific reason, such as the possibility of the loss of an authorization code for a CATV converter, is not intended to be unplugged by the user for cleaning or any other purpose, may exclude the reference to unplugging your TV in the cleaning description otherwise required in this instruction.
Attachments–Do not use attachments not recommended by your TV manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
Water and Moisture–Do not use your TV near water, for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

1
Accessories–Do not place your TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. Your TV may fall, causing serious injury to someone, 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, follow the manufacturer's instructions and use a mounting accessor y recommended by the manufacturer. Move a 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 and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of your TV and to protect it from overheating. Do not block openings. Do not place your TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Your TV should never be placed 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 proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
Power Sources–Use only the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your TV dealer or local power company . F or TVs intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
Grounding or P olarization–Your 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. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.
Power -cord protection–Route power-supply cords so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from your TV.
Outdoor Antenna grounding–If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides information with respect to proper 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.

Lightning–For added protection for your TV receiver during 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 TV due to lightning and power-line surges.
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, do not touch power lines or circuits because contact with them might be fatal.
Overloading–Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as 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 they 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.
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.
Damage Requiring Service–Unplug your TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified serv i ce pers onn el unde r 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 improper 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, this indicates a need for service.
Replacement Parts–When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristic s as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, injury to persons or other hazards.
Safety Check–Upon completion of any service or repairs to your TV, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that your TV is in correct operating condition.
Heat–Place your TV away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Preparing to set up your TV

Unpacking and setup

Your TV carton should contain:
30" Wide Flat Digital TV
•User Guide
Remote control unit If you need to replace these accessories, call
our help line mentioned in the Warranty section of this guide.
Depending on your antenna system, you may need different types of combiners (mixers) or separators (splitters). C onta ct your local electronics store for these items.
Carefully remove all the components from the carton and verify that you have all the necessary components before you dispose of the carton.
Remove all packing materials from the individual components.
Do not remove any labels or stickers on the back panel of your TV.
Place your TV in the location you want. Your TV is designed to be used on a level, stable, flat surface, such as a table, desk, shelf, or stand convenient to a power outlet, out of direct sunlight, and away from sources of excess heat, dust, moisture, or vibration.
Unwind the AC power cord on the back of your TV and extend the cord to its full length.
Note to CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground sho uld be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cabl e entry as practical.
A NOTE ABOUT RECYCLING: Batteries should never be thrown away or incinerated but disposed of in accordance with your local regulations concerning chemical wastes.
CAUTION:
NOT USE THIS POLARIZED PLUG WITH AN EXTENSION CORD, RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE
FCC WARNING: Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance with the FCC Rules could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO
.

Power source

Use the polarized AC line cord provided for operation on AC power. Insert the AC cord plug into a standard 120 V 60 Hz polarized AC outlet.
If you cause a static discharge when touching your TV and your TV fails to function, unplug your TV from the AC outlet and plug it back in. Your TV should return to normal operation.
Warning
• The system uses a polarized AC plug with one wide blade and one narrow blade. The plug will only fit into matchin g polarized power outlets. This is a safety feature to reduce the possibility of electric shock. If the plug will not fit in your power outlets, you probably have outdated, non-polarized o utlets which should be changed by a qualified, licensed electrician. Do not file the wide blade on the plug or use an adapter to ma ke the plug fit into your outlet. This defeats the safety feature and could expose you to electric shock.
• Never connect the AC cord plug to other than the specified voltage (120 V 60 Hz). Use the attached power cord only.

Cable TV connections

Your 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 descrambler device which is generally provided by the Cable TV company.
For subscribers to basic cable TV service.
For basi c cable service not requ iring a con v erter/ descrambler box, connect the 75 ohm coaxial cable directly to the RF IN jack on the back of your TV.
RF IN jack
75 ohm coaxial cable
For subscribers to scrambled cable TV service.
If you subscribe to a Cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial Cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm Coaxial Cable, connect the output jack of the converter/descrambler box to the RF IN Jack on your TV. Set your TV to the output channel of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/ descrambler box to select channels.
