Important Safety Instructions

CAUTION

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

DO NOT OPEN

The lightning flash with arrow head within a triangle is intended to tell the user that parts inside the product are a risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within a triangle is intended to tell the user that important operating and servicing instructions are in the papers with the appliance.

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 builtin installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

Important Safety Instructions for LCD TV

2)Keep these instructions.

3)Heed all warnings.

4)Follow all instructions.

5)Do not use this apparatus near water.

6)Clean only with dry cloth.

7)Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

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

9)Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10)Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

11)Only use attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.

12)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.

13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.

14)Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, 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.

15)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.

16)Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD TV.

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER (NEC) NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE
18) If an outside antenna is connected to the televisionequipment, 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.
Important Safety Instructions

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 : KEEP UNNEEDED SMALL PARTS AND OTHER OBJECTS OUT OF THE REACH OF

SMALL CHILDREN. THESE OBJECTS CAN BE ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED. ALSO, BE CAREFUL ABOUT PACKAGING MATERIALS AND PLASTIC SHEETS.

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.

Installation

Receiver Location

Locate at a comfortable distance for 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.

How to use the LCD stand

Adjust the stand to your desired angle. The stand angle can be adjusted between 5 ° forward and 10 ° back, and rotated 20 ° to the right / left.

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 hang the LCD Television on the wall

This LCD Television is for use only with the following optional accessory. Use with any other type of optional accessories may cause instability which could result in the possibility of injury.
