	a thunder or lighting storm.
	When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure
	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.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord:

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.

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

TV through USB 2.0 (‘videos’ dependent on model).

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO PREVENT “IMAGE BURN

/BURN-IN” ON YOUR TV SCREEN

■When a fixed image (e.g. logos, screen menus, video game, and computer display) is displayed on the TV for an extended period, it can become permanently imprinted on the screen. This phenomenon is known as “image burn” or “burn-in.” Image burn is not covered under the manufacturer’s warranty.

■In order to prevent image burn, avoid displaying a fixed image on your TV screen for a prolonged period (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for Plasma).

■Image burn can also occur on the letterboxed

areas of your TV if you use the 4:3 aspect ratio setting for an extended period.

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

AW-50PG60MS

■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.

■ To prevent damage do not connect to the power outlet until all connections are made between the devices.
