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 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 builtin 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.
NOTE: where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain
readily operable.
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.
16. Replacement parts---In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses
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.
19.Damage requiring service---If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and
request a qualified service person to perform repairs.
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged.
b. When a liquid is spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.

described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.
e. If the product has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged in any way.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Any noticeable abnormality
in the product indicates that the product needs servicing.
20.Safety checks---Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety
checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

Important Safety Precautions (Continued)
22. Power source---This product is intended to be supplied by a listed power supply indicated on the marking label. If you
are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your product dealer or local power company. For added
protection for this product 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 cable system. This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power line
surges. When the unit has to be used with another power supply voltage, the power cable must be changed. Consult your
product dealer. The socket outlet should be installed near the equipment and easily accessible. Use only the power cord
designated by our dealer to ensure safety. When connecting other products such as VCRs and personal computers, you
should turn off the power of the unit for protection against electric shock.
23.Panel protection---The display panel used in this product is made of glass.
Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impacted upon by other objects.
Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the display panel breaks.
24.Pixel defect---The display panel is a very high technology product, giving you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few
non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not affect the
performance of your product.

Preparations (Continued)
Antenna Connection
INSTALL the unit in a room where direct light will not fall upon the screen. Total darkness or a reflection on the picture
screen may cause eyestrain. Soft and indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing.

satellite service or an outdoor antenna must be used. The exact type and position of the antenna will depend upon
your particular area.
