6. Clean only with a dry cloth.

7. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance

with the manufacturers instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat regis-

ters, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-

type plug. Apolarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong are provided for your safety. When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

larly 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 a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table

specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the app-

aratus. 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 apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

15. This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these

materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance: www.eiae.org

ance; or

C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; or D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or

E. The appliance has been dropped, or the enclosure damaged.

17. Tilt/Stability - All televisions must comply with recommended

Section 810 of the National Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 701984, 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 connectors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. See Figure below.

• Remove batteries when the unit is not used for a long time.

Example of Antenna Grounding as per NEC - National Electric Code

Note to the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to call 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.

PRECAUTIONS

Additional Safety Precautions

• Ensure that LCD TV stand is tightened properly to the set (see Quick Guide on the right way of tightening of the screw of the stand to the set. Improper tightening of screw may render the set unsafe.

• If LCD TV is installed on the wall, installation should be carried out by qualified servicemen. Improper or incorrect installation may render the set unsafe.

• Disconnect mains plug when :

– cleaning the TV screen, never use abrasive cleaning agents. – there is a lightning storm. – the set is left unattended for a prolonged period of time.

• Do not shift or move the LCD TV around when it is powered on.

• Do not touch, push or rub the surface of the LCD screen with any sharp or hard objects.

• When the surface of the LCD screen becomes dusty, wipe it gently with an absorbent cotton cloth or other soft material like chamois. DO NOT USE acetone, toluene or alcohol to clean the surface of the screen. These chemicals will cause damage to the surface.

• Wipe off water or saliva as soon as possible. These liquids can cause deformation and color fading of the LCD screen when left exposed for some time.

• Be careful of condensation when temperature changes occur. Condensation can cause damage to the LCD screen and electrically parts. After condensation fades, spots or blemishes will be present on the LCD screen.

Positioning the LCD TV

• Place the LCD TV on a solid, sturdy base or stand. Be sure the stand is strong enough to handle the weight of the LCD TV.

• Try to leave at least 6 cm of space around each side of the LCD TV cabinet to allow for proper ventilation.

• Do not place the LCD TV near a radiator or other sources of heat.

• Do not place the LCD TV where it can be exposed to rain or excessive moisture.

Recycling Procedure/End of life disposal

• To minimize harm to the environment, the batteries supplied with the LCD TV, do not contain mercury or nickel cadmium. If possible, when disposing of batteries, use recycling means available in your area.

• The LCD TV uses materials that can be recycled. To minimize the amount of waste in the environment, check your area for companies that will recover used televisions for dismantling and collection of reusable materials, or contact your dealer for TV recycling tips.

• Please dispose of the carton and packing material through the proper waste disposal management in your area.

UNDERSTANDING THE AUTOLOCK™CONTROLS

he AutoLock™ featur e receives and

processes data sent by broadcasters or

other program providers that contain program content advisories. When programmed by the viewer , a TV with AutoLock™can respond to the content advisories and block program content that may be found objectionable (such as offensive language, violence, sexual situations, etc.). This is a great featur e to censor the type of programming children may watch.

In the AutoLock™ section, you’ll learn how to block channels and programming that is not rated, is unrated, or has no rating. You will also find out how to turn these blocking features ON or OFF. Following are brief explanations of some terms and ratings related to the AutoLock™ feature.

AutoLock™offers various Blocking Options from which to choose:

BLOCKING: The BLOCKING control is what can be thought of as the “master switch” for AutoLock™. This control affects the settings you have chosen for blocking programs according to movie ratings or TV ratings, or for blocking programs that have no rating or are unrated. When the BLOCKING control is OFF, the blocking or censoring of programs is disabled. When the BLOCKING control is ON, blocking will occur according to the settings you have chosen.

NO RATING: ALL programming with no content advisory data can be blocked if NO RATING is set to ON.

Programming that has No Rating is not encoded with any rating information from the MPAA or the Parental Guidelines. Any programming could fall into this category .

You also can block individual channels or block pr ogramming based on ratings of the

MPAA and TV broadcasters. (See a description of the ratings on this page.)
