OutdoorAntenna 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 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.

Viewing 3D Imaging

(For 3D models)

_WARNING

Viewing Environment

• Viewing Time

- When watching 3D contents, take five- to
fifteen-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 flashing light or particular pattern from 3D

contents.

• Do not watch 3Dvideos if you feel nausea, are
pregnant and/or have a chronic illness such

as epilepsy, cardiac disorder, or blood pressure
disease, etc.

• 3D Contents are not recommended to those who
suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly.

Double images or discomfort in viewing may be

experienced.

If you have strabismus (cross-eyed), amblyopia
(weak eyesight) or astigmatism, you may have

trouble sensing depth and easily feel fatigue due

to double images. It is advised to take frequent
breaks than the average adult.

• If your eyesight varies between your right and left
eye, correct your eyesight prior to watching 3D
contents.

Symptoms which require discontinuation or

refraining from watching 3D contents

• Do not watch 3D contents when you feel fatigue

from lack of sleep, overwork or drinking.
When these symptoms are experienced, stop
using/watching 3D contents and get enough rest
until 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.

z_CAUTION

Viewing Environment

• Viewing Distance

- Maintain a distance of at least twice the screen
diagonal length when watching 3D contents.

If you feel discomfort in viewing 3D contents,
move further away from the TV.

Viewing Age

• Infants / Children

- Usage/Viewing 3D contents for children under
the age of 5 are 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 contents.

- 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

- Teenagers under the age of 19 may be
stimulated by light coming from 3D videos.
Advise them not to watch 3D videos for a long
time when they are tired.

• Elderly

- The elderly may perceive less of a 3D effect than
the youth. Do not sit closer to the TV than the

recommended distance.
