■ Note to CATV System Installer: This reminder is provided to direct the CATV system installer’s attention to
Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable
ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
■ Secure ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation
of the LCD TV and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. There should be at
least 10 cm of space from these openings. The openings should never be blocked by placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa,
rug or other similar surface. This LCD TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase unless proper
ventilation is provided.

Important Safety Instructions
18)If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment,
be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide
some protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges. In the U.S. Section 810-21 of the National Electrical
Code 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.
19)An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When
installing an outside antenna system extreme care should be
taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as
contact with them might be fatal.
20)Unplug this LCD TV from the wall outlet, and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD TV.
c. If the LCD TV has been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the LCD TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls
may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the LCD TV to normal
operation.
e. If the LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the LCD TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.
21)When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the
manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
22)WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
DO NOT PLACE LIQUID CONTAINERS (FLOWER VASES, CUPS, COSMETICS, ETC.) ABOVE THE
SET. (INCLUDING ON SHELVES ABOVE, ETC.)
23)WARNING : SMALL PARTS CAN PRESENT CHOKING HAZARD IF ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED.
KEEP SMALL PARTS AWAY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN.
DISCARD UNNEEDED SMALL PARTS AND OTHER OBJECTS, INCLUDING PACKAGING
MATERIALS AND PLASTIC BAGS/SHEETS TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING PLAYED WITH BY
YOUNG CHILDREN, CREATING THE POTENTIAL RISK OF SUFFOCATION.
24)CAUTION : TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER
OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
25)CAUTION : USE WITH OTHER STAND MAY RESULT IN INSTABILITY POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY.
26)CAUTION : DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE
SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
