• This TV has a buikqn wireless LAN function. Using a separate wireless USB LAN adapter may result in radio communications
that do not comply wkh regulations on radio communications. Therefore, do not use a separate wireless LAN adapter.

• This TV has received the following certifications.

- Wi-Fi CERTIFIED TM (certification program from the Wi-Fi Alliance ®)

- Wi-Fi Protected Setup TM (certification program from the Wi-Fi Alliance ®)

• Operations cannot be guaranteed when used wkh access points that do not have Wi-Fi ® certification.

• A wireless LAN router/access point is required to connect the TV to the Internet using a wireless LAN. See the operation
manual of your access point for setup.

• If your access point is set to a stealth mode (that prevents detection by other devices), you may not be able to establish a
connection, in this case, disable the stealth mode on the access point.

• A wireless LAN connection and performance cannot be guaranteed for all residential environments, in the following cases, the
wireless LAN signal may be poor or drop, or the connection speed may become slower.

- When used in buildings made wkh concrete, reinforced steel, or metal

- When placed near objects that obstruct the signal

- When used with other wireless devices that emit the same frequency

- When used in the vicinity of microwave ovens and other devices that emk a magnetic field, electrostatic charge, or

electromagnetic interference

• When there is significant interference in the 2.4-GHz frequency (such as from other wireless LAN devices, Bluetooth ® devices,

2.4-GHz cordless telephones, and microwave ovens), k is recommended that you use a wireless LAN router/access point that
Supports IEEE802.1 lb/g/n.for setup details,see the opration manual of your access point.

• For users outside the Unked States, be sure to select your country before using the wireless LAN function. (See page 60.)

• A stable connection speed is required to play back streaming content. Use an Ethernet connection if the wireless LAN speed

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

• When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed.
This is not a malfunction, and the unk will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

• Do not leave the unk in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a
heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the front panel to malfunction.

Specifications

FCC
This device compiles with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2)this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the par_ responsible

for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. To comply with the FCC RF exposure compliance
requirements, this device and its antenna must not be coqocated or operated inconjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce potential for harmful interference to co-channel
mobile satellite systems;

The maximum antenna gain permitted (for devices in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz) to comply with the e.i.r.p.
limit; and High-power radars areallocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of the bands 5250-5350 MHz and
5650-5850 MHz and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
