If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker” when it is turned on. This is normal, there is
nothing wrong with TV.

have no adverse effect on the monitor's performance.

■

Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing so may produce
some temporary distortion effects on the screen.

or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the apparatus.

Only use attachments/accessories specified by
the manufacturer.

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

Do not allow an impact shock or any objects to fall
into the product, and do not drop onto the screen
with something.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :
It is recommend that appliances be placed upon a
dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which
powers only that appliance and has no additional
outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification
page of this owner's manual to be certain.
Do not connect too many appliances to the same
AC power outlet as this could result in fire or elec­tric shock.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall out­lets, loose or damaged wall outlets, extension cords,
frayed power cords, or damaged or cracked wire
insulation are dangerous. Any of these conditions
could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically
examine the cord of your appliance, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and
have the cord replaced with an exact replacement
part by an authorized servicer. Protect the power
cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as
being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or
walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall
outlets, and the point where the cord exits the
appliance.
Do not make the TV with the power cord plugged
in. Do not use a damaged or loose power cord. Be
sure do grasp the plug when unplugging the power
cord. Do not pull on the power cord to unplug the
TV.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of fire or electrical
shock, do not expose this product to rain, moisture
or other liquids. Do not touch the TV with wet
hands. Do not install this product near flammable
objects such as gasoline or candles or expose the
TV to direct air conditioning.

Do not expose to dripping or splashing and do not
place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, cups,
etc. on or over the apparatus (e.g. on shelves above
the unit).

GGRROOUUNNDDIINNGG
Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to

prevent possible electric shock. (i.e. a TV with a
three-prong grounded AC plug must be connected
to a three-prong grouned AC outlet) If grounding
methods are not possible, have a qualified electri­cian install a separate circuit breaker.

Do not try to ground the unit by connecting it to
telephone wires, lightening rods, or gas pipes.

DDIISSCCOONNNNEECCTTIINNGG DDEEVVIICCEE FFRROOMM MMAAIINNSS
Mains plug is the disconnecting device. The plug

must remain readily operable.

Keep the product away from direct sunlight.

Cleaning
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and scrub

gently with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do not
spray water or other liquids directly on the TV as
electric shock may occur. Do not clean with chemi­cals such as alcohol, thinners or benzene.

Moving
Make sure the product is turned off, unplugged

and all cables have been removed. It may take 2 or
more people to carry larger TVs. Do not press
against or put stress on the front panel of the TV.

Ventilation
Install your TV where there is proper ventilation. Do

not install in a confined space such as a bookcase.
Do not cover the product with cloth or other mate­rials (e.g.) plastic while plugged in. Do not install in
excessively dusty places.

SECURING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING

We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,

potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.

■

Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture.

*If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts.
* Insert the eye-bolts or TV brackets/bolts and tighten them securely in the upper holes.

Secure the wall brackets with the bolts (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase separately) to
the wall. Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.

Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.

■

Use a sturdy rope (not provided as parts of the product, must pur­chase separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie the rope so it
becomes horizontal between the wall and the product.

■

You should purchase necessary components to prevent TV from falling off of the stand.

■

Image shown may differ from your TV.

GG

When moving the TV, undo the cords first.

GG

Use a platform or cabinet strong and large enough to support the size and weight of the TV

GG

To use the TV safely make sure that the height of the bracket on the wall and on the TV is the same.
