IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bath tub, wash
• bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.
Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the
• product on an unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.
Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.
Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation.
• Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
The Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can breakwhen the
• product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the panel breaks.
Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
• registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 3,147,264 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture
• details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.
Precautions when transporting the TV
Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on
• each side of the TV.
Lightning — For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or
• when it is left unattended and unused for long periods 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Outdoor Antenna Grounding — 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. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 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 grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Preparation
Using the remote control unit
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor on the TV. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor may prevent proper operation.
Cautions regarding remote control unit
Do not expose the remote control unit to shock.
In addition, do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.
Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the remote control unit.
The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor on the TV is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the angle of the lighting or the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the remote control sensor.
Antennas
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (Commercially available).
F-type connector
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 (Commercially available).
