Q-3
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.

• 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 break when 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 2,073,600 pixels, 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 store% 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.
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 infire or electric shock. Exercise special caution when using the product around children.
Precautions when transporting the TV

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in mind:
THE iSSUE
o The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger flat panel displays
are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are not always supported on the proper
stands or installed according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
o Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks,
speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!
o The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable
and safe.
TUNE INTO SAFETY
o One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for the safe installation
and use of your flat panel display.
o Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.
o Don't allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.
o Don't place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest
of drawers.
o Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on a
"larger than life" flat panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it
cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
o Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat panel display so that
they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
o Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory (such
as UL, CSA, ETL).
o Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.
o Ifyou have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about professional
installation.
o Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display isappropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be
mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
o A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

Q-7
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.
f
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).
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).

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 that 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.
= Ifyou will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove batteries from it.
