As you enjoy your new product, keep these safety tips in mind
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
•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 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 remember:
•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 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 InformationNS-32E859A11/NS-42E859A11
Power lines
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.
Handling the LCD panel
• Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop your TV or hit,
jolt, or press hard against the LCD panel. If the screen breaks,
be careful of broken glass.
• 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, rinse,
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.
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 device, 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 an electrician or your local
power company.
Cautions
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.
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV,
make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded 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
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 the
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes,
and requirements for the grounding electrode.

NS-32E859A11/NS-42E859A11Safety Information
Note to CATV system installer
Article 820 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 40
provides guidance for correct grounding. Specifically, it states
that the cable ground must be connected to the grounding
system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as
practical.
Condensation
Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought from cool
surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the
room rises suddenly. When this happens, the TV's performance
may be impaired. To prevent this, let the TV 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 TV is
exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases,
change the location of the TV.
Mobile telephone warning
To avoid interference with your TV picture and sound,
operating problems, or even damage, keep your cordless and
cellular telephones away from the TV.
End of life directives
Your TV contains tin-lead solder. Disposal of this material may
be regulated for environmental reasons. Your TV also contains
material that can be recycled and reused. For disposal or
recycling information, contact your local authorities or the
Electronic Industries Alliance at www.eia.org to find a recycler
in your area.
Non-active pixels
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors,
which provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally, a
few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed blue,
green, or red point. These non-active pixels do not adversely
affect the performance of your TV, and are not considered
defects.
