iMPORTANT SAFETY iNSTRUCTiONS
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety
tips in mind:
THE ISSUE
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.
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases,
shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.
THIS MANU FACTURER CARES!
The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TUNE INTO SAFETY
One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer's recommendations for
the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this
product.
Don't allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.
Don't place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps,
such as a chest of drawers.
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.
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:
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display contact your retailer
about professional installation.
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. 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.
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

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.
r
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).

Preparation
If the 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 (t) 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.
