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

GROUND CLAMPS

ELECTRIC

SERVICE EQUIPMENT

ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT (NEC SECTION 810-20)

GROUND CLAMP

ANTENNA LEAD-IN WIRE

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER (NEC) NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

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.

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 : 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.

NOTE : This equipment is designed to operate in North America and other countries where the broadcasting system and AC house current are exactly the same as in North America.

■This product utilizes tin-lead solder, and has a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount of mercury.
