7. WATER AND MOISTURE

Do not use this product near water–for example: near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool.

8. ACCESSORIES

Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table. The product may fall, causing serious injury and serious damage to the product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.

8A. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force and

uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.

9. VENTILATION

Slots and openings in the cabinet and in the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, to ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat source. This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions have been adhered to.

10. POWER SOURCES

This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

GROUNDING OR POLARIZA

This product is equipped with a polarized alternating-current line plug (a plug having one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

POWER-CORD PROTECTION

12.

Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.

T from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.

14. POWER LINES

n outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power

A circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care

hould be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

15. OVERLOADING

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

16. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY

Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid on the product.

17. OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING

If an outside antenna is connected to the product, 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 Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge product, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge product, connection to grounding electrodes and requirements for grounding electrodes.

18. SERVICING

Do not attempt to service this product yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

19. REPLACEMENT PARTS

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or other hazards.

CONVERTER/ DESCRAMBLER

Antenna

This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some Cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels” in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE

For basic cable tv service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the rear of the TV.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE

If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler or satellite box. Using another 75 ohm cable, connect the output of the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the TV/VCR to the output channel of the converter/descrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler or satellite box to select channels.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO UNSCRAMBLED BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE WITH SCRAMBLED

PREMIUM CHANNELS

If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch box (available from the cable company or an electronic supply store). Follow the connections shown below

OUTDOOR VHF/UHF ANTENNA CONNECTION (ANTENNA NOT SUPPLIED)

Follow the instructions for the type of antenna system you intend to use.

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm cable or 300 ohm twin-lead wire)

Connect the 75 ohm cable from the combination VHF/UHF antenna to the antenna jack.

If your combination antenna has a 300 ohm twin-lead wire, use a 300-75 ohm matching transformer (NOT SUPPLIED).

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Separate VHF and UHF 300 ohm twin-leads)

Connect the UHF twin-lead wire to a combiner (NOT SUPPLIED). Connect the VHF twin-lead to a 300-75 ohm matching transformer (NOT Attach the transformer to the combiner. Attach the combiner to the antenna jack.

SUPPLIED).

Separate VHF/UHF Antennas

Connect the 75 ohm cable from the VHF antenna and the UHF antenna twin-lead wire to a combiner (NOT SUPPLIED). Attach the combiner to the antenna jack. NOTE: If your VHF antenna has a twin-

lead wire use a 300-75 ohm matching transformer, then connect the transformer to the combiner.

RECEIVING ATSC CHANNELS

You can connect to an outdoor antenna to receive the free ATSC digital channels. The size of the antenna you will need will depend on how far away the television station broadcast antennas are from you. The further the distance the larger the antenna you need. If your unsure of how far you are you can go to http://www.antennaweb.org and put in your zip code to search their database for your distance and the direction of the broadcast antennas. If you’re fairly close you may be able to get away with just a small antenna that will sit on top of your TV set. If you need a larger antenna you can either put one in the attic or outside on an antenna mast.

VIEWING ANGLE ADJUSTMENT

This unit is designed to allow you to have a comfortable viewing angle, which can be adjusted by slightly rotating the monitor to the front or rear

NOTE: Do not force the LCD monitor over its maximum viewing angle settings. Attempting this will result in damage to the monitor and stand.
