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.

Poor picture

Check item

This may be caused by obstruction to the antenna due to high rise buildings or hills. Using a highly directional antenna may improve the picture.

Check that the AC power cord is plugged into the mains socket. Unplug the power cord, wait for 60 seconds. Then reinsert plug into the mains socket and turn on the unit again.

Check antenna connections at the rear of the unit to see if it is properly connected to the unit. Possible broadcast station trouble. Try another channel. Adjust the contrast and brightness settings. Select a correct input. Is a non-compatible signal being input?

Increase the VOLUME. Check that the unit is not muted.

Adjust the contrast, colour and brightness settings. Sometimes, poor picture quality occurs when having activated an S-VHS

camera or camcorder connected and having connected another peripheral at the same time. In this case, switch off one of the other peripherals. Check whether the room is too bright.

Care and Maintenance

LCD Display panel information Note:

The marking or retained image on the LCD panel resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by Warranty. This product is not designed to display fixed image patterns for extended periods of time.

Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays.

The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the LCD panel. This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible LCD panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps: A. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level. B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time. C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.

Cleaning and Maintenance

To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth.

If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped in a soap and water solution or a weak detergent solution.

Use eyeglass cleaner to remove stubborn dirt from the LCD. Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzine to clean this unit. Before using achemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth carefully.

CAUTION:

If water or similar substances get inside the monitor liquid crystal panel surface, a malfunction may result.
