CHILD SAFETY:
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:

THE ISSUE

The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel displays are popular
purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,
chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.

THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!

The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.

TUNE INTO SAFETY

One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and use of
your flat panel display.
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.
Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.
Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” flat
panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or
knocked down.
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:

Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent
laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about
professional installation.
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate to support the weight of the unit/
product and wall mount. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CONDENSATION

Moisture will form in the operating section of the unit if the unit is brought from cool surroundings into a warm
room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, unit's performance will be impaired.
To prevent this, let the unit stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure
that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the unit is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In
such cases, change the location of the unit.

HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL

•

Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur.

•

If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause
skin inflammation.
If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your
eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.

Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the LCD Panel for
long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the LCD Panel and cause subtle but
permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your
LCD Panel on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:

•

Fixed images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.

•

Special formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on
a normal (4:3) display (black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a
widescreen (16:9) display (black bars on left and right sides of screen).

The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation. Therefore we disclaim any
responsibility for these symptoms.

LCD Panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however sometimes

•
parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots.
This is not a sign of a malfunction.
Do not install the LCD Panel near electronic equipment that produces electromagnetic waves. Some

•
equipment placed too near this unit may cause interference.
Effect on infrared devices – There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless

•
headphones.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

The unit emits heat when in operation. Do not place any covers or blankets on the unit, this may cause overheating.
Do not block ventilation holes, or set up near radiators. Do not place in direct sunshine. When placing on a shelf leave 4 inches
(10 cm) free space around the entire unit.

HOW TO INSTALL BATTERIES

1. Open the battery compartment cover.

2. Install two “AAA” batteries (supplied).

3. Replace the battery compartment cover.

EN 10

Use two “AAA” size batteries. The batteries may last
approximately one year depending on how much the
remote control is used. For best performance, it is
recommended that batteries should be replaced on a
yearly basis, or when the remote operation becomes
erratic. Do not mix old and new batteries or different
types.

BATTERY PRECAUTIONS

These precautions should be followed when using
batteries in this device:

•

Use only the size and type of batteries specified.

•

Be sure to follow the correct polarity when
installing the batteries as indicated in the battery
compartment. Reversed batteries may cause
damage to the device.
Do not mix different types of batteries together

•

(e.g. Alkaline, Carbon-zinc or Rechargeable) or old
batteries with fresh ones.
If the device is not to be used for a long period of

•

time, remove the batteries to prevent damage or
injury from possible battery leakage.
Do not try to recharge batteries not intended to be

•

recharged; they can overheat and rupture. (Follow
battery manufacturer’s directions.)
