instructions.

16) Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can
result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17) Object and Liquid Entry — Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the product.

18) Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:

a) When the AC cord or plug is damaged,
b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,
c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,
d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the product to its normal operation,
e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and
f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

19) Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

20) Safety Check — Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to

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 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 6,220,800 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

When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding onto the display. Be sure to always
carry the TV by two people holding the grips on the back 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.
