REGARDING BATTERY CARE (Continued)

Prohibited use for which safety is not guaranteed.

Do not try to disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety mechanisms and protection devices. Damaging these safety devices may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, or to rupture or ignite.

Do not connect the + and – terminals together with metal such as wires. Do not carry or store the battery together with metal objects such as necklaces and hairpins. Doing so may cause the battery to be short-circuited so as to cause an extremely large amount of electric current to flow, which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite, or may cause metal objects such as wire, necklaces, or hairpins to heat up.

Do not expose batteries to fire or heat. Doing so may cause insulating materials to melt, damage gas exhaust valves or safety mechanisms, or ignite electrolytic solutions, which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

Do not leave the battery in or near fire, stoves, or other high-temperature locations (of temperatures greater than 140°F (60°C)). If a resin separator is damaged by heat, the battery may become internally short-circuited and this may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet. If the protection device contained in the battery is broken, this may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

Do not charge the battery near a fire or in direct sunlight. If the battery becomes hot, the protection device for preventing danger operates to disable the battery from being charged. If the protection device contained in the battery becomes broken, the battery is charged at an abnormal electric current or voltage. An abnormal chemical reaction occurs inside the battery which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

Charge the battery in compliance with the specified charging conditions. If the battery is charged without compliance to the charging conditions (at temperatures greater than the specified temperature, at voltages and electric current greater than the specified amount or with modified chargers), the battery may be overcharged or charged at an abnormal electric current and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur inside the battery, which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, or step on the battery. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

Do not subject the battery to strong impacts or throw it away. If the protection device contained in the battery becomes broken, the battery is charged at an abnormal electric current or voltage. An abnormal chemical reaction may then occur inside the battery, which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

Do not use the battery if it has been considerably damaged or deformed. This may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

Do not solder directly onto the battery. Doing so may cause insulating materials to melt, or damage gas exhaust valves or the safety mechanism, which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

Use a battery case when carrying the battery.

Keep the battery out of reach of children.

In the event that the fluid inside the battery gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye because this may cause loss of eyesight. Rinse the eye with clean water and consult a doctor immediately. In the event that the fluid becomes attached to skin or clothes, wash it off with clean water immediately as this may cause injury.

Using the product in a reinforced concrete building such as a condominium building or a house of a metal structure.

Using the product at locations near large-scale metallic furniture.

Using the product in a crowd of people or close to buildings or obstacles, etc.

Using the product at locations where magnetic fields, electrostatic and interference occur due to devices such as Bluetooth, wireless LANs, or microwave ovens, etc. that utilize the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as the product.

Regarding reflected radio waves

Radio waves that reach a television receiver are radio waves (direct waves) directly transmitted from a transmitter and radio waves (reflected waves) arriving from various directions as a result of being reflected by walls, furniture, or buildings etc. There are good and bad positions in terms of wave conditions due to the influence of these reflected waves, which may cause poor picture reception. In this case, try changing the location of the TV receiver slightly. There are cases where pictures and sound are distorted or interrupted due to the reflected waves as a result of a person passing over or approaching between the transmitter and the television receiver.

When a signal other than a regular signal is input

When a signal other than a regular signal that is incompatible with this unit is input, the screen may freeze, but this is not a malfunction.

When a signal other than a regular signal is input from the Antenna, AV-IN1, AV-IN2, or AV-IN3 terminals, reception may be bad depending on the performance of the Wireless Center, and the message “THIS SIGNAL IS NOT COMPATIBLE.” will display.

Signals compatible with the Wireless Center are as follows:

H:15.73426 kHz / V: 59.94 Hz

(Note: Reception may be available with AV-IN4.)

Precaution Regarding Electromagnetic Wave Disturbance

If electric devices, such as a cellular phone, are used near this unit, electromagnetic wave disturbance may occur between apparatus. In such cases, the picture quality may decrease and noise may appear.

CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION

A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT. terminal.

Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company. This converter/ descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3 or 4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable TV company.) For more specific instructions on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter/descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below.

Please note: An RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).

“A” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV’s channel keys.

“B” position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view the scrambled channels via the converter/descrambler by using the converter’s channel keys.

Correct reception may not be possible in locations where radio waves cannot reach or when other conditions exist that obstruct the radio waves.

In this case, change the location of the receiver to a place where it receives signals correctly.

Since the “CHANNEL” of the “TRANSMISSION SETTING” is set to “AUTO”, the viewing conditions may improve when the setting is reset.

ENGLISH

Note:

When watching TV with the built-in battery in the condition in which this unit was purchased, the battery does not have enough charge left. Use after charging the battery sufficiently. (See page 20.)

As this unit transmits and receives video and audio signals from the Wireless Center using radio waves, operation using the remote control will be delayed by approximately 1 second.

General Reference for Charging Time:

When charging level has fallen to 0: About 5 hours

General Reference for Battery Operating Time:

About 2 hours (when “BRIGHTNESS” is set to “NORMAL”) * Operating time varies according to the conditions of use.

Charging time refers to the amount of time required to charge a completely worn down battery.

Charging time may be longer depending on ambient temperature, battery condition and other factors. Check to make sure the CHARGE indicator is not lit before using.

Operating time may be shorter depending on certain conditions such as use in cold climates.

Charging while Viewing:

The battery will be charged, while you are viewing if “BATTERY CHARGE” is set to “ON” (page 28). In this case, charging takes about 12 hours. To preserve battery performance it is recommended that “BATTERY CHARGE” be set to “OFF” if battery power is not in constant use.

Note:

Charging time may be longer depending on ambient temperature, battery condition and other factors. Check to make sure the CHARGE indicator is not lit before using.
