resting on it. Check the cord at the plugs and product.
Overloading--Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.

Entering of objects and liquids--Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage

flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock andlor short internal parts. For the same

reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.
Servicing--Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage and
other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.
Repair--If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified
service person to perform repairs.

a. When the AC cord or plug is damaged.
b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.

c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.

Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of
controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work

by a qualified technician.

e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.

f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the

product needs servicing.
Replacement parts--In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the

original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.
Safety checks--Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety

checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.
Wall or ceiling mounting--When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product

according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.
Polarization--This AC cord may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having one

blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If you are
unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact your

electrician to replace your obsolete outlet.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (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 National 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.

Lightning - For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for a long period of time, unplug
it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to

the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

Power Lines - An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can

fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system,

extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits
as contact with them might be fatal.

To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or flames on the top or near the
TV set.

* To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to dripping or

splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the

Preparation

Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, install the two supplied "AA" size batteries in the remote control. When the
batteries become depleted or the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new "AA" size batteries.

1 Open the battery cover. 2 Insert two "AA" size batteries

Precautions regarding batteries

Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

• 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 and/or 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 off with 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.

(supplied with the product).

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

indications in the battery compartment.

3 Close the battery cover.

Preparation (Continued)

• 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).

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

2.A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a
75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (not supplied).

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

• |O0_ _i li_ Oil Oi

• Use one of the following two diagrams if you connect an outdoor antenna.

Preparation (Continued)

A 75-ohm coaxial 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 converter/descrambler i., 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 (not supplied) with two inputs (A and B) is required.

"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view all 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 converter/descrambler by

using the converter's channel keys.
