IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

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 1,049,088 pixels (LC-32LE450U),

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.

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 itfrom 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 inthe 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 place the AC cord under the TV set or other heavy items.

Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage

to remain. 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 product. Do not insert foreign objects into the product. Inserting objects in the air

vents or other openings may result in fire or electric shock. Exercise special

caution when using the product around children.

Precautions when transporting the "IV

• When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding or otherwise putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands -- one hand on

each side of the TV:.

Caring for the Cabinet

• Use a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) and gently wipe the surface of the cabinet.

• Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may deform the components of the main unit cabinet or cause cracking.

• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the cabinet.

• Ifthe cabinet isvery dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water and thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

• The cabinet is primarily made of plastic. Avoid using benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as

these may deform the cabinet and cause the paint to peel off.

• Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids. Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. Plasticizers inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to deform and cause the paint to peel off.

Caring for the Liquid Crystal panel

• Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.

• Gently wipe the surface of the display panel with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.). To protect

the display panel, do not use a dirty cloth, liquid cleaners, or a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type

Preparation Preparation

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 r-F-type connector with F-type connector that can easily be _ 75-ohm coaxial cable

attached to a terminal without tools (round) (Commercially available).

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 300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat) available).

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do

not tighten F-type connector with tools. If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set.

Ifthe remote control fails to operate TV functions, replace the batteries in the remote control unit.

1 Open the battery cover. 3 Close the battery cover.

2 Insert two "AAA" size batteries (supplied with

the product).

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

indications in the battery compartment.

Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

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

• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new

batteries or cause chemical leakage in old batteries.

• Remove batteries as soon as they are worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries come in

contact with skin can cause a rash. If you find any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.

• The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage

conditions.

• If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove batteries

from it.

• The batteries (batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or

the like.
