■ 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.
■ Important Safety Instructions for LCD TV
1) Read these instructions and apply them with your LCD TV.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water. For example: Avoid placing it near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or
laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, etc.
6) Clean only with dry cloth. Unplug this LCD TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol
cleaners.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
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.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers)
that produce heat.
9) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the
point where they exit from the apparatus.
10) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. Otherwise it may cause hazards.
11) 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.
12) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when it will be left unused for long periods of time. This will prevent
damage to the receiver due to lightning and power-line surges.
13) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
any way , such as when the 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.
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this LCD TV, ask the service technician to perform routine safety
checks to determine that the television is in safe operating condition.
14) Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supplied to your home consult your television dealer or local power company.
15) Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD TV.
16) Never push objects of any kind into this LCD TV through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points
or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the LCD TV.

Important Safety Instructions
17) 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. Selection 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.
18) 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.
19) 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.
20) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician to use replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that
have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
21) WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
22) CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH A RECEPT ACLE OR OTHER OUTLET
UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
23) CAUTION: USE WITH OTHER STAND MAY RESULT IN INSTABILITY CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY.
24) CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE
SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.

NOTE:
This equipment is designed to operate in the U.S.A. and other countries where the broadcasting system and
•
AC house current is exactly the same as in the U.S.A.
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.
■ This product utilizes tin-lead solder , and has a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal

Installation
Receiver Location
Locate for comfortable viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including reflections) will fall on the screen.
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive heat or moisture.
To ensure optimum picture quality do not position magnetic equipment (motors, fans, other speakers, etc.) nearby.
Optional External Equipment
The Video/Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For best performance,
Antenna cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from your dealer or electronic supply store.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various components
require. Also determine the length of cable you’ll need.
For optimum quality picture
When the LCD is exposed to light from outdoors or lighting fixtures, high-contrast pictures may not be displayed clearly. Turn
off florescent lamps near the LCD and place in a location not exposed to outdoor light.
How to use the LCD stand
Adjust the stand to your desired angle. The stand angle can be adjusted between 0 ° to 15 ° back, 30 ° left and 30 ° right.
