CAUTION concerning the Power Cord
y
(Can differ by country): It is recommended 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 service. 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 move 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.

Grounding
y
(Except for devices which are not grounded.) 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.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding
y
(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
Cleaning
y
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 benzine.

Dot Defect
y
The 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’re viewing the TV. Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the performance and reliability of the TV.
Generated Sound
y
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 high­speed switching circuit, which supplies a large amount of current to operate a product. It varies depending upon the product. This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product. Take care not to touch the ventilation
y
openings. 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
y
could be exposed to oil or oil mist. This may damage the product and cause it to fall.
Preventing image burn or burn-in on your TV screen
If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for
y
a long period of time, it will be imprinted and become a permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is image burn or burn-in and not covered by the warranty. If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a
y
long period of time, image burn may occur on the letterboxed area of the screen. Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV
y
screen for a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent image burn.

y
- When watching 3D contents, take 5 - 15 minute breaks every hour. Viewing 3D contents for a long period of time may cause headache, dizziness, fatigue or eye strain.
Those that have a photosensitive seizure or chronic illness
Some users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a
y
flashing light or particular pattern from 3D content. Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nauseous, are pregnant and/ or have a chronic illness such as
y
epilepsy, cardiac disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc. 3D content is not recommended for those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly.
y
Double images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced. If you have strabismus (cross-eyed), amblyopia (weak eyesight) or astigmatism, you may have trouble
y
sensing depth and easily feel fatigue due to double images. It is advised to take frequent breaks. If your eyesight varies between your right and left eye, you may experience eye strain.
y
ENGLISH
Symptoms which require discontinuation or refraining from watching 3D contents
Do not watch 3D content when you feel fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or intoxication.
y
When these symptoms are experienced, stop using/watching 3D content and get enough rest until
y
the symptom subsides.
- Consult your doctor when the symptoms persist. Symptoms may include headache, eyeball pain, dizziness, nausea, palpitation, blurriness, discomfort, double image, visual inconvenience or fatigue.

Viewing Age
Infants / Children
y
- Usage/ Viewing 3D content for children under the age of 5 is prohibited.
- Children under the age of 10 may overreact and become overly excited because their vision is in development (for example: trying to touch the screen or trying to jump into it. Special monitoring and extra attention is required for children watching 3D content.)
- Children have greater binocular disparity of 3D presentations than adults because the distance between the eyes is shorter than one of adults. Therefore they will perceive more stereoscopic depth compared to adults for the same 3D image.
Teenagers
y
- Advise teenagers under the age of 19 not to watch 3D videos for a long time when they are tired.
Elderly
y
- The elderly may perceive less of a 3D effect than the youth. Do not sit closer to the TV than the recommended distance.
