CHILD SAFETY: It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:

THE ISSUE

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.

THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!

The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TUNE INTO SAFETY

One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and use of your flat panel display. Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product. Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets. Don’t place flat panel displays 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” flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down. Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:

Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL). Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers. If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation. Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate to support the weight of the unit/ product and wall mount. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer. A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 BY YOUR WARRANTY. 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. This is not a sign of a malfunction. 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.

ENGLISH

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The unit emits heat when in operation. Do not place any covers or blankets on the unit, this may cause overheating. Do not block ventilation holes, or set up near radiators. Do not place in direct sunshine. When placing on a shelf leave 10 cm (4 inches) free space around the entire unit.

• Utilize an appropriate bracket and fasteners, sufficient to

• accommodate the size and weight of the unit. Assure the wall to which the unit is to be mounted will safely support

• the size and weight of the unit, using the bracket and fasteners you have selected. Keep cords and cables connected to this flat panel display out of

• reach of children. To hang the television on a wall, remove these screws and then

• remove a stand. Before performing work spread cushioning over the base area to lay the TV on.

WHAT IS CLOSED CAPTIONING?

This television has the capability to decode and display Closed Captioned television programs. Closed Captioning will display text on the screen for hearing impaired viewers or it will translate and display text in another language.

Captions: This Closed Caption Mode will display text on the screen in English or another language.

• captioned, no captions will display on-screen. If text is not available in your viewing area, a black

• rectangle may appear on-screen. If this happens, set the CC Setting to “Off”. When selecting Closed Captions, the captioning will

• be delayed approx. 10 seconds.

•

If no caption signal is received, no captions will appear, but the television will remain in the Caption Mode.

•

Misspellings or unusual characters may occasionally appear during Closed Captioning. This is normal with Closed Captioning, especially with live programs. This is because during live programs, captions are also entered live. These transmissions do not allow time for editing.

•

When Captions are being displayed, on-screen displays, such as volume and mute may be seen but may interfere with Closed Captions.

•

Some cable systems and copy protection systems may interfere with the Closed Captioned signal.

•

If using an indoor antenna or if TV reception is very poor, the Closed Caption Decoder may not appear or may appear with strange characters or misspelled words. In this case, adjust the antenna for better reception or use an outdoor antenna.

Reception disturbances

Most types of television interference can be remedied by adjusting the height and position of the VHF/ UHF antenna. Outdoor antennas are recommended for best results. The most common types of television interference are shown below. If one of these symptoms appear when the TV is connected to a Cable TV system, the disturbance may be caused by the local Cable TV company broadcast.

IGNITION

Black spots or horizontal streaks may appear, the picture may flutter or drift. Usually caused by interference from automobile ignition systems, neon lamps or AC powered tools and appliances such as drills or hair dryers.

GHOSTS

Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path and the other is reflected by tall buildings, hills or other large objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.

SNOW

If the TV is located far from the TV station, in a fringe reception area where the signal is weak, small dots may appear in the picture. If the signal is extremely weak, the installation of a larger external antenna may be necessary.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE (RFI)

Caused by two-way radios, this type of interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks in the picture. Some cases may cause a loss of contrast in the picture. Changing the direction and position of the antenna or installing an RFI filter may improve the picture.

ENGLISH

PICTURE SIZE VARIATION

A slight picture size variation is normal when you adjust the CONTRAST or BRIGHTNESS settings.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
