IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Important safety instructions shall be provided with each apparatus. This information shall be given in a separate booklet or sheet, or be located before any operating instructions in an instruction for installation for use and supplied with the apparatus.

This information shall be given in a language acceptable to the country where the apparatus is intended to be used. The important safety instructions shall be entitled “Important Safety Instructions”. The following safety

instructions shall be included where applicable, and, when used, shall be verbatim as follows. Additional safety information may be included by adding statements after the end of the following safety instruction list. At the manufacturer’s option, a picture or drawing that illustrates the intent of a specific safety instruction may be placed immediately adjacent to that safety instruction:

Read these instructions. Keep these instructions. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions.

Do not use this apparatus near water.

Clean only with dry cloth.

Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)that produce heat.

When mounting a TV it on the wall, make sure not to install TV by the hanging power and signal cables on the back of the TV.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong, The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

Unplug this apparatus when unused for long periods of time.

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

Do not allow a impact shock or any objects to fall into the product, and do not drop onto the screen with something.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

CAUTION concerning the Power Cord : Most appliances recommend they 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 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.

To get the the best picture quality, adjust the PC graphics card to 1366x768.

Depending on the graphics card, DOS mode may not work if a HDMI to DVI Cable is in use.

In PC mode, there may be noise associated with the resolution, vertical pattern, contrast or brightness. If noise is present, change the PC output to another resolution, change the refresh rate to another rate or adjust the brightness and contrast on the PICTURE menu until the picture is clear.

Avoid keeping a fixed image on the screen for a long period of time. The fixed image could become permanently imprinted on the screen.

The synchronization input form for Horizontal and Vertical frequencies is separate.

Depending on the graphics card, some resolution settings may not allow the image to be positioned on the screen properly.
