ALLATION

- Please read the safety instructions in this manual completely before installation.

- Install your unit in an area where direct sunlight will not fall upon the screen.

- Soft, indirect light is best for television viewing.

- Allow enough space (at least 4 in.) between the TV and any walls or enclosures for proper ventilation.

- Optimum television viewing distance is 3-5 times the screen's size.

Auto-Degaussing

Color TV is easily affected by magnetism which leads to color distortion. If your unit is moved or affected by near magnetic components or appliances with power on, please power off your unit for at least 1 hour. The built-in auto-degaussing circuit will eliminate the magnetism interference.

Auto off when no signal received

The TV set will automatically enter into Standby mode when the following conditions are met.

1.TV is in antenna mode.

2.Current channel has no signal.

3.No key is pressed within 15 minutes.

Notes:

1) It is recommended that a 75 ohm coaxial cable be used in order to eliminate interference and noise which may occur due to nearby radio transmissions.

2) The antenna cable should not be tied together with other wiring.

3) Set up a lightning rod and check it regularly when an outdoor antennais used.

1. Remove the battery compartment lid.

2. Insert two AAAbatteries (included). Make sure the positive (+) and negative (-) polarities are correctly aligned.

3. Reattach the battery lid.

Notes:

1) Alkaline batteries are recommended for longer life.

2) Always replace both batteries at the same time.

3) Do not expose batteries to fire or break them open.

4) To avoid battery leakage, remove batteries from the remote control when it is not being used for a long period

of time.
