SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

11	Never touch this apparatus or antenna during
	a thunder or lighting storm.
12	When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure
	not to install the TV by the hanging power and
	signal cables on the back of the TV.
13	Do not allow an impact shock or any objects to
	fall into the product, and do not drop onto the
	screen with something.
14	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.

20 ANTENNAS

Outdoor antenna grounding

(can differ by country) If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come in contact with such power lines or circuits as death or serious injury can occur.

Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. 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.

Antenna grounding according to the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

23	Ventilation
	Install your TV where there is proper ventila-
	tion. 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.
24	Take care not to touch the ventilation open-
	ings. When watching the TV for a long period,
	the ventilation openings may become hot. This
	does not affect the performance of the product
	or cause defects in the proudct.
25	If you smell smoke or other odors coming from
	the TV or hear strange sounds, unplug the power
	cord contact an authorized service center.
26	Do not press strongly upon the panel with

hand or sharp object such as nail, pencil or pen, or make a scratch on it. Do not allow a impact shock onto the panel.

NEC: National Electrical Code

21 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.

22 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.

27 Keep the product away from direct sunlight.

28 Dot Defect

The Plasma or LCD panel is a high technology product with resolution of two million to six million pixels. In a very few cases, you could see fine dots on the screen while you’reviewing the TV. Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the performance and reliability of the TV.

29 Generated Sound

“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is generated by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and humidity. This noise is common for products where thermal deformation is required.

Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A low level noise is generated from a high-speed switching circuit, which supplies a large amount of current to operate a product. It varies depending on the product.This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product.

SECURING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING WHEN THE TV IS USED ON A STAND

■You should purchase necessary components to prevent the TV from tipping over (when not using a wall mount).

■Image shown may differ from your TV.

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 (sold 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 (sold separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes horizontal between the wall and the product.

! NOTE

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

G To use the TV safely, make sure that the height of the bracket on the wall and the one on the TV are the same.
