FCC INFORMATION

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installa­tion. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio fre­quency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio com­munications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on,
the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:

– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

from that to which the receiver is connected.

– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

CAUTION: FCC Regulations state that improper modifications

or unauthorized changes to this unit may void
the user’s authority to operate the unit.

SANYO recommends keeping the TV set at its
factory settings or moving Energy Saver settings
from “Level 1” to “Level 2” or “Level 3” to further
reduce power requirements and increase energy
savings. Doing so contributes to the sustainability
of our resources and environment.

NOTE: Dimensions are in inches

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Do not use this apparatus near water.

6. Clean only with dry cloth.

7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.

9. 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 fully into your outlet, consult an electri­cian for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

10. 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. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.

12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the appara­tus. When a cart is used, use caution
when moving the cart/apparatus com­bination to avoid injury from tip-over.

13.Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.

14. 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.

15. If an outside antenna is connected to the television
equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built up static charges. In the U.S. Selection 810-21
of the National Electrical Code provides information with
respect to 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 electrodes.

16. An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical light
or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power
lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna
system, extreme care should be taken to keep from
touching such power lines or circuits as contact with
them might be fatal.

17. Wall or Ceiling Mounting—The product should be
mounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended by
the manufacturer.

18. Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing
and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be
placed on the apparatus.

19. Where the Mains plug is used as the disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

20. A warning that an apparatus with Class1 construction
shall be connected to a Mains socket outlet with a
protective earthing connection.
