3. Head all warnings --- All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.

4. Follow all instructions --- All operating instructions must be followed.

5. Attachments --- Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. Do not use attachments not

recommended by the manufacturer. Use of improper attachments can result in accidents,

6. Power source --- This product is intended to be supplied by a listed power supply indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For
added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of
time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system.

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

8. Overloading --- Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles on other
equipment as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

9. Entering of objects and liquids --- Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage
flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same reason,
do not spill water or liquid on the product.

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

11. Damage requiring service --- If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet,
and request a qualified service person to perform repairs.
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged.
b. When a liquid is spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.
Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of controls not

Important Safety Precautions (continued)

15. Stand --- Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the

manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. Do not place the product on an unstable
trolley, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can cause
the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the
product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer's
instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

16. Careful move --- When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven
floor surfaces can cause the product to fall from the trolley.

17. Lightning --- Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when
it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to
lightning and power-line surges.

18. Do not use this apparatus near water --- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
Do not use immediately after moving from a low temperature to high temperature
environment, as this causes condensation, which may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.

19. Clean only with dry cloth --- Unplug this product from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

20. Ventilation --- Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with
the manufacturer instructions. The vents and other openings in the cabinet are
designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since
insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product.
Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they
can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation;
do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless
proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions are followed.

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

22. Panel protection --- The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass.
Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impacted upon by other
objects. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD panel
breaks.

23. Pixel defect --- The LCD panel is a very high technology product, giving you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally,
