void the user’s authority to operate this product.

• Outdoor Antenna Grounding
(Can differ by country):
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the
precautions below. An outdoor antenna system

ENGLISH

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 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

• Cleaning

When cleaning, unplug the power cord and wipe
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

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 product.

• Do not install this product on a wall if it could be
exposed to oil or oil mist. This may damage the
product and cause it to fall.

• 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 TV’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.

• Displaying a still image for a prolonged period
of time may cause an image sticking. Avoid

WARNING!

Never place a television set in an unstable
location. A television set may fall, causing serious
personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly
to children, can be avoided by taking simple
precautions such as:

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the
manufacturer of the television set.

• Only using furniture that can safely support the
television set.

• Ensuring the television set is not overhanging
the edge of the supporting furniture.

• Not placing the television set on tall furniture
(for example, cupboards or bookcases) without
anchoring both the furniture and the television
set to a suitable support.

• Not placing the television set on cloth or other
materials that may be located between the
television set and supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of
climbing on furniture to reach the television set
or its controls.

If your existing television set is being retained
and relocated, the same considerations as above
should be applied.
