iMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTUONS (Continued)

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 Section 810 of the Nationaf 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 electrode

Precautions regarding batteries

= Place batteries with their

terminals corresponding
to the (+) and (-)
indications in the battery
compartment

i= Engaging the lower

claw with the remote
control, close the cover

,_ tmproper use of batteries can restJit in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion Be sure to follow the instructions befow

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (-) indications

• Different types of batteries have different characteristics Do not mix batteries of different types

• Do not mix old and new batteries Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries andlor cause old
batteries to leak chemicals

• Remove batteries as soon as they are depleted Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash if chemical
leakage is found, wipe it offwith a cloth

• The batteries supplied with the LCD TV set may have a shorter operating time due to storage conditions

• If the remote control is not to be used for a long period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control

= Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor

window of the main unit Objects between the remote control and

sensor window may prevent proper operation

Cautions regarding use of the remote control

.. Do not apply shock to the remote control In addition, do not

expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place it in an area

with high humidity

= Do not install or place the remote control in direct sunlight The

heat may cause deformation of the unit

• The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television
reception For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems

1 A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that

can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied)

2A 300-ohm system is a fiat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a

75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (not supplied)

_-- F-type connector

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna
A: Using a VHFiUHF combination outdoor' antenna

B: Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antennas

• Connect the outdoor antenna cable lead-in to ANT (Antenna terminal) on the real of the main unit

Preparation (Continued)

. A 75-ohm coaxiat cable connector is built into the LCD TV set for easy hookup When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial

cable to the LCD TV set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT terminal

• Some cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels", Since the signals of these premium pay channels are
scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company
This converteddescrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels (Set your TV to channel 3
or 4, typically one of these channels is used If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company ) For more specific
instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company One possible method of utilizing the converter/
descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below
Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied)

"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view atl unscrambled channels by using the TV's channel keys
"B" position on the RF switch (not supplied):You can view the scrambled channels via the converterldescrambier by

. The TV rating systems in Canada are based on the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications

Commission (CRTC) policy on violence in television programing.

• While violence is the most important content element to be rated, the structure developed takes into consideration
other program content like language, nudity, sexuality and mature themes..

• When setting the V-CHIP on the Canadian system you can choose either the Canadian English ratings or the

Canadian French ratings.
