Important Safety Information
The Power Supply should be connected to a MAIN Socket outlet with a protective earthed connection.
WARNING:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO WATER OR MOISTURE.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION:
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER
SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
Warning
Do not leave any stationary images, patterns, PIP windows, or letterbox images on the screen for an extended period of
time as this may result in permanent damage to the LCD panel. This type of damage is not covered under warranty. The
following are examples of, but not limited to, potentially hazardous display output: side bar images, video game patterns,
closed captioning, channel logos, and letterbox black bars. To prevent this type of damage, display constant moving
images that fill the screen as often as possible.
According to industrial standards for LCD displays, there are a certain number of allowable defective pixels. Although we
produce panels with more than 99.9 % active cells, there still may be some cells that do not produce light or remain
constantly lit. For further information, please contact your supplier.
Safety Precautions
1. Read and follow all instructions carefully.
2. Water and moisture: Do not use the product near water or areas of high moisture.
3. Cleaning: Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to clean the product. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
4. Ventilation: The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and
openings as insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed,
sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product was not designed to operate in an enclosed
environment. Do not place the product in an enclosed space such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
5. Heat sources: Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products
(including amplifiers).
6. Stand: Do not place the product on an unstable stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can cause the product
to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Only use a stand, tripod, and bracket or table
recommended by your dealer or sold with the product. Only use mounting hardware recommended by the dealer.
7. For added protection during a lightning storm or for extended periods of non-use, unplug the power cord from the wall outlet
and disconnect the antenna (if used). This will prevent damage to the product due to power line surges.
8. During the LCD panel lifespan it is normal for a few pixels to become defective. Non-active pixels may appear on the screen as
fixed points of red, blue or green. Refer pixel policy questions to your dealer for further clarification on acceptable loss.

Mounting the LCD TV on the Wall (Optional)
CAUTION: Mounting an LCD TV requires the skills of a qualified technician. Do not attempt to
mount the TV by yourself. The manufacturer bears no responsibility for improper installation
resulting in accident or injury.
The LCD TV can be mounted onto a variety of mounting fixtures (purchased separately) that are compliant with VESA
(Video Electronics Standards Association) standards (200 mm × 200 mm for the 37”, 200 mm × 100 mm for the 32”).
Before mounting the display to the wall, the stand must be removed from the LCD TV.
1. Carefully lay the LCD TV with its front facing down on a flat and steady surface.
