IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Television Antenna Connection Protection

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

Installation

Please read the user manual carefully before performing the installation. The
power consumption of the display is approximately 170 watts. Please use the
power cord designated for the product. When an extension cord is required, use
one with the correct power rating. The cord must be grounded and the grounding
feature must not be defeated. The product should be installed on a flat surface to
avoid tipping. Space should be maintained between the back of the product and
the wall for proper ventilation. If you would like to mount the TV onto the wall,
please see page 13 for additional information. Avoid installing the product in the
kitchen, bathroom or other places with high humidity dust or smoke, so as not to
shorten the service life of the electronic components. Please ensure the product
is installed with the screen in landscape orientation. Any 90° clockwise or
counterclockwise installation may induce poor ventilation and successive
component damage.

Attaching the TV Stand

1. Please handle the TV with two or more people. Please locate a large flat
surface (i.e. table) and put a soft cloth (i.e. blanket) on the surface. Please
set the TV facing up on the flat surface so the panel does not get damaged.

2. Please connect the stand to the TV and secure the connection with the screw
driver and the 8 screws included in the accessory box.

3. You can screw them in from the bottom of the stand. DO NOT over tighten
the screws when installing the stand; otherwise the stand’s threading will
become stripped. Please Note: To disassemble the TV stand, for wall
mounting purposes, please repeat the step 1, but unscrew the 8 screws to
