SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

This product is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and
misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent the product from being damaged,
the following rules should be observed for the installation, use and maintenance of the
product. Read the following safety instructions before operating the display. Keep these
instructions in a safe place for future reference.

• To avoid the risk of electric shock or
component damage, switch off the
power before connecting other
components to the DISPLAY.

• Unplug the power cord before
cleaning the DISPLAY. Please use a
microfiber cleaning cloth for cleaning
the bezel of the DISPLAY only. Do not
use a liquid or a spray cleaner for
cleaning the product. Do not use
abrasive cleaners.

• Always use the accessories
recommended by the manufacturer to
insure compatibility.

• When moving the DISPLAY from an
area of low temperature to an area of
high temperature, condensation may
form on the housing. Do not turn on
the DISPLAY immediately after this to
avoid causing fire, electric shock or
component damage.

• Do not place the DISPLAY on an
unstable cart, stand, or table. If the
DISPLAY falls, it can injure a person
and cause serious damage to the
appliance. Use only a cart or stand
recommended by the manufacturer or
sold with the DISPLAY.

• Any heat source should maintain a
distance of at least 5 feet away from
the DISPLAY, i.e. radiator, heater,
oven, amplifier etc. Do not install the
product too close to anything that
produces smoke or moisture.
Operating the product close to smoke
or moisture may cause fire or electric
shock.

• Slots and openings in the back and
bottom of the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable

operation of the DISPLAY and to
protect it from overheating, be sure
these openings are not blocked or
covered. Do not place the DISPLAY in
a bookcase or cabinet unless proper
ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the
ventilation slots of the DISPLAY. Do
not place any objects on the top of the
Product. It could short circuit parts
causing a fire or electric shock. Never
spill liquids on the DISPLAY.

• Do not use the DISPLAY in a portrait
format (by rotating 90 degrees) under
high temperature environment (25°C
or higher), since this would retard heat
dissipation and would eventually
damage the DISPLAY.

• The DISPLAY should be operated
only from the type of power source
indicated on the label. If you are not
sure of the type of power supplied to
your home, consult your dealer or
local power company.

• The power cable must be replaced
when using different voltage from that
specified in the User Manual. For
more information, contact your dealer.

• The DISPLAY is equipped with a
three-pronged grounded plug, a plug
with a third (grounding) pin. This plug
will fit only into a grounded power
outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet
does not accommodate the three-wire
plug, have an electrician install the
correct outlet, or use an adapter to
ground the appliance safely. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the
grounded plug.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Television Antenna Connection Protection**

External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to the display, make sure that
the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against
voltage surges and static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,
ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of
the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding
electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.

Lightning Protection

For added protection of the display during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended
or unused for long periods of time, unplug the display from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system.

Power Lines

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall
into such power lines or circuits.

**TV tuner optional
