Safety Warnings and Precautions1
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE
GROUNDED
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin
plug must be inserted only into a
standard three-pin power outlet which
is effectively grounded through normal
household wiring. Extension cords used
with the equipment must have three
cores and be correctly wired to provide
connection to the ground. Wrongly
wired extension cords are a major cause
of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates
satisfactorily does not imply that the
power outlet is grounded or that the
installation is completely safe. For your
safety, if you are in any doubt about the
effective grounding of the power outlet,
please consult a qualified electrician.
• The mains plug of the power supply cord shall remain readily operable. The AC receptacle
(mains socket outlet) shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
To completely disconnect this equipment from the AC mains, disconnect the power cord
plug from the AC receptacle.
• Do not place this display on an uneven, sloping or unstable surface (such as a trolley)
where it may fall and cause damage to itself or others.
• Do not place this display near water, like a spa or pool, or in a position which will allow the
splashing or spraying of water onto the display, like in front of an open window where rain
water may enter.
• Do not install this display in a confined space without proper ventilation and air circulation,
such as in a closed cabinet. Allow proper space around the display for dissipating heat
inside. Do not block any openings and vents on the display. Overheating may result in

Safety Warnings and Precautions3
For Canada
• This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
• Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
Notes on the LCD Panel of This Display
• The Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panel of this display has a very thin protective layer of glass
which is liable to marking or scratching, and cracking if struck or pressured. The liquid
crystal substrate is also liable to damage under excessive force or extreme temperatures.
Please handle with care.
• The response time and brightness of the LCD panel may vary with the ambient
temperature.
• Avoid placing the display in direct sun or where direct sun or spot lighting will shine onto
the LCD panel, as the heat may damage the panel and the external casing of the display,
and the bright light will make viewing the display more difficult than necessary.
• The LCD panel consists of individual pixels to display images and is manufactured
according to the design specifications. While 99.9% of these pixels work normally, 0.01% of
the pixels may remain constantly lit (in red, blue or green) or unlit. This is a technical
limitation of the LCD technology and is not a defect.
• LCD screens, like plasma (PDP) and conventional CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) screens, are also
susceptible to 'screen burn-in' or 'image retention' which can be found on the screen as
visible fixed lines and shades. To avoid such damage to the screen, avoid displaying still
images (like On-Screen Display menus, TV station logos, fixed/inactive text or icons) for
more than two hours. Change the aspect ratio from time to time. Fill the entire screen with
the image and eliminate the black bars whenever possible. Avoid displaying images in 4:3
aspect ratio over a long period of time, otherwise there may be visible burn marks on the
screen as two vertical lines. Image retention issues are not covered under warranty, see
standard warranty terms and conditions for details. For optimal performance, we suggest
turning off the backlight power on the display for 8 hours per day.
