Important Safety Precautions
Electrical energy can perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property damage if improperly handled.
This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. But IMPROPER USE CAN RESULT IN
POTENTIAL ELECTRICAL SHOCK OR FIRE HAZARD. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following instructions
when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of your PDP TV product, please read
the following precautions carefully before using the product.
1. Read these instructions---All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.
2. Keep these instructions---These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.
3. Heed all warnings---All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.
4. Follow all instructions---All operating instructions must be followed.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water---for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
Do not use immediately after moving from a low temperature to high temperature
environment, as this causes condensation, which may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
6. Clean only with dry cloth---Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
7. Ventilation---Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer instructions. The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for
ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since 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 is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed
place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
8.Heat sources---Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9.Grounding or Polarization---Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10.Power cord protection---Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11.Attachments---Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. Do not use attachments not recommended by the
manufacturer. Use of improper attachments can result in accidents.
Important Safety Precautions (continued)
12. Stand---Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or
sold with the apparatus. Do not place the product on an unstable trolley, stand, tripod or table.
Placing the product on an unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting inserious personal
injuries as well as damage to the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow
the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the
manufacturer.
13. Move carefully---When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surfaces
can cause the product to fall from the trolley.
Never attempt to move the TV unless the AC power cord has been disconnected.
14. Lightning---Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of
time.
For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the
antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.
15. Servicing---Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way,
such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the
original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.
17.Overloading---Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles on other equipment as this can result in a risk
of fire or electric shock.
18.Entering of objects and liquids---Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage flows in the product,
and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75- ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75ohm cable to the ANT. Terminal.
Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV
converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company.
This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. For more specific instructions on installing cable
TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is
explained below. Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).
