Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a thunder or lighting storm.
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.
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).
GGRROOUUNN DD IINN GG 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 grounded 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 TTHHEE PPOOWWEERR The power outlet used must remain unobstructed in
the event the device needs to be unplugged quickly.
"As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall out­let, it is not disconnected from the AC power source even if you turn off this unit by the SWITCH"
AANN TT EENN NNAASS OOuuttddoooorr aanntteennnnaa ggrroouunnddiinngg 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.

DDoott DDeeff eecctt
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.
GGeenneerr aatteedd SSoouunn dd
“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.
FFoorr LLCCDD TTVV
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.
Some minute dot defects may be visible on the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots. However, they 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.

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

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