IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Television Antenna Connection Protection

External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to the TV, 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 TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or
unused for long periods of time, unplug the TV 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.

3D IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. READ THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS
BEFORE YOU OR YOUR CHILD USE THE 3D FUNCTION

WARNING
Parents’ careful supervision is required particularly when children or teenagers view 3D
images.
Photosensitive Seizure Warning and Other Health Risks

x Some viewers may experience an epileptic seizure or stroke when exposed to

certain flashing images or lights contained in certain television pictures or
video games. If you or any of your relatives has a history of epilepsy or
strokes, please consult with a medical specialist before using the 3D function.

x Do not watch 3D pictures when you feel incoherent, sleepy, tired or sick.

Avoid watching 3D pictures for long hours.

x Even those without a personal or family history of epilepsy or stroke may

have an undiagnosed condition that can cause “photosensitive epileptic
seizures.”

x If you experience any of the following symptoms immediately stop watching

3D pictures and consult a medical specialist: (1) altered vision; (2)
lightheadedness; (3) dizziness; (4) involuntary movements such as eye or
muscle twitching; (5) confusion; (6) nausea; (7) loss of awareness; (8)
convulsions; (9) cramps; and/or (10) disorientation. Parents should monitor
and ask their children about the above symptoms-children and teenagers may
be more likely than adults to experience these symptoms.

Note that watching TV while sitting too close to the screen for an extended period of
time may weaken your eyesight.

Note that watching TV while wearing 3D Active Glasses for an extended period of time
may cause a headache or fatigue. If you feel headache, fatigue or dizziness, stop
watching TV and rest.

Some 3D pictures may startle viewers. The pregnant, elderly, epileptic and those
suffering from serious physical conditions are advised to avoid utilizing the unit’s 3D
functionality.

We don’t recommend watching 3D if you are in bad physical condition, need sleep or
have been drinking liquor.

Please take care to be aware of the world around you. This product is designed to be
immersive. DO NOT use this product near open stairwells, cables, balconies, or other
objects that can be tripped over, run into, knocked down, broken or fallen over. Being
startled or deluding yourself into thinking that the 3D images are real may cause you to
crush a nearby object or get injured trying to move your body.

SCEPTRE E32 LED HDTV User Manual

Do not use the 3D Active Glasses for any other purpose than for which it was designed.
Wearing the 3D Active Glasses for any other purpose (as general spectacles,
sunglasses, protective goggles, etc.) may physically harm you or weaken your eyesight.

Immersive video can potentially have adverse effects on the user including motion
sickness, perceptual after effects, disorientation, eye strain, and decreased postural
stability. Take frequent breaks to lessen the potential of these effects, as is commonly
suggested for other items, such as keyboards and computer monitors, that you may
tend to fixate or concentrate on. If your eyes show signs of fatigue or dryness or if you
have any of the above symptoms, immediately discontinue use of this device and do not
resume using it for at least thirty minutes after the symptoms have subsided.

The ideal viewing distance should be three times or more the height of the screen. We
recommend sitting with viewer’s eyes on a level with the screen
