Important Safety Information

Always be careful when using your TV receiver. To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and

maintaining your machine.

• Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your T_

• Keep the safety and operating instructions for future re%fence.

• Heed all warnings on the TV receiver and in the operating instructions.

• Follow all operating and use instructions.

• Unplug the TV receiver from the wall outlet befure cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use
liquid or aerosol cleaners.

• Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such
additions can inci-ease the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury.

• Do not use the TV receiver where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as
near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc.

• Do not place the TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table where it can fail. A falling TV can cause serious injury to a
child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with
a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manu

facturer or sold with the TV[ Pollow the manufacturer_ instruc
tions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory rec
ommended by the manufacturer. Move the TV and cart with care.

Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the
unit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn.

• Provide ventilation fur the TV receiver. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for
ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and
do not place the TV receiver on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near
a radiator or heat register. If you place the TV receiver on a rack or bookcase, ensure that
there is adequate ventilation and that you've followed the manufacturer_ instructions for
mounting.

• Operate your TV receiver only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer
or local power compan]t

• Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this TV is equipped with a polarized
alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the
power outlet only one walt If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet.

SAFELY

• Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won't be walked on
or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, con
venience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit.

• Unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a light
ning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent dam
age to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.

• Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed in the vich]ity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can fail into such
power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, be extremely careful to keep
from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal.

• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric

shock.

• Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous volt
age points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the TV

• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable
system is connected to the TV_ be sure the antenna or
cable system is grounded so as to provide some

protection against voltage surges and built up static
charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPA No.70 1984, provides infurmation about
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.

EXAMPLEQF
ANTENNAGROUNDING

• Do not attempt to service the TV yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnei.
Unplug the unit from the wall outIet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
fullowing conditions:

when the power supply cord or plug is damaged
if liquid has been spilIed on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit
if the TV has been exposed to rain or water
if the TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions
if the TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged
when the TV exhibits a distinct change in performance

• If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive
work by a qualified technician to restore the TV to normal.

• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts
specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.

• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this TV] ask the service technician to
perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in a safe operating condition.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference that may cause undesired operation.

This television receiver provides display of television closed captioning in accordance with

2 s_._ 15.119 of the FCC rules.

Important Warranty Information
Regarding Television Format

Viewing

Standard screen format televisions (4:3, the aspect ratio of the screen width to height) are
primarily designed to view standard format l'ull motion video. The images displayed on
them should pi-imari[y be in the standard 4:3 ratio format and constantly moving.
Displaying stationary graphics and images on screen, such as the dark top and bottom
letterbox bars (wide screen pictures), should be limited to no more than 15% of the total
television viewing per week.

Wide screen format televisions (l 6:9, the aspect i-atio of the screen width to height) are
primarily designed to view wide screen format fuli motion video. The images displayed
on them should primarily be in the wide screen 1 6:9 ratio format, or expanded to fill the
screen if your model offers this feature, and constantly moving. Displaying stationary
graphics and images on screen, such as the dark side bars on non expanded standard
format television video and programming, should be limited to no more than 15% of the
total television viewing per week.

Additionally, viewing other stationary images and text such as stock market reports,
video game displays, station logos, web sites or computer graphics and patterns, should
be limited as described abo\ e for all televisions. Displaying ar_y stationarly images that

exceed tile above guidelines can cause uneven aging of picture tubes (CRTs) that leave subtle,
but permanent burned in ghost inlages in the television picture. To avoid this, vary the program-
ruing and images, and prinla_41y display full screen moving inlages, not stationaly patterns or
da_k bars. On television models that offer picture sizing features, use these controls to

view the different ft_rmats as a full screen picture.

Be careful in the selection and duration of television formats used for vie_ving. Uneven
CRT aging as a result of' format selection and use, as well as other burned in images, is
not covered by your Samsung limited warranty.
