This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of uninsulated “dangerous voltage”
within the product’s enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of
electric shock to persons.

This symbol is intended to alert the user to the
presence of important operating and
maintenance (servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the appliance.

exposure.

CAUTION

When using TV games, computers, and
similar products with your projection
TV, or viewing a TV station whose logo
always stays on the screen, keep the
brightness and contrast functions at
low settings. If a fixed (non-moving)
pattern such as a station logo is left on
the screen for long periods of time,
especially at a high brightness or
contrast setting, the image can be
permanently imprinted onto the screen.
These types of imprints are not covered
by your warranty.

Note to CATV system installer

This reminder is provided to call the CATV system
installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that
provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in
particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be
connected to the grounding system of the building, as
close to the point of cable entry as practical.

Use of this television receiver for other than private
viewing of programs broadcast on UHF, VHF,
transmitted by cable companies or satellite for the use of
the general public may require authorization from the
broadcaster/cable company and/or program owner.

NOTIFICATION

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15
of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference with radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:

❑ Reorient or relocate the receiving antennas.

❑ Increase the separation between the equipment and

receiver.

❑ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is
connected.

❑ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV

technician for help.

You are cautioned that any changes or
modifications not expressly approved in
this manual could void your warranty and
your authority to operate this equipment.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

For your protection, please read these instructions
completely, and keep this manual for future reference.

Carefully observe and comply with all warnings, cautions
and instructions placed on the set or described in the
operating instructions or service manual.

WARNING

To guard against injury, the following basic safety
precautions should be observed in the installation, use
and servicing of the set.

Use

Power Sources

This set should be operated only from
the type of power source indicated on
the serial/model plate. If you are not sure
of the type of electrical power supplied
to your home, consult your dealer or
local power company. For those sets designed to operate
from battery power, refer to the operating instructions.

Grounding or Polarization

This set is equipped with a polarized AC power cord plug
(a plug having one blade wider than the other), or with a
three-wire grounding type plug (a plug having a third pin
for grounding). Follow the instructions below:

Overloading

Do not overload wall outlets, extension
cords or convenience receptacles
beyond their capacity, since this can
result in fire or electric shock.

Always turn the set off when it is not
being used. When the set is left
unattended and unused for long
periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet as a precaution against the
possibility of an internal malfunction that could create a
fire hazard.

If a snapping or popping sound from a TV
set is continuous or frequent while the TV
is operating, unplug the TV and consult
your dealer or service technician. It is
normal for some TV sets to make
occasional snapping or popping sounds,
particularly when being turned on or off.

Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into the
set through the cabinet slots 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 set.

For the set with a polarized AC power cord
plug

This plug will fit into the power outlet
only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully
into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If
the plug still fails to fit, contact your electrician to have a
suitable outlet installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose
of the polarized plug by forcing it in.

For the set with a three-wire grounding type
AC plug

This plug will only fit into a grounding­type power outlet. This is a safety
feature. If you are unable to insert the
plug into the outlet, contact your
electrician to have a suitable outlet
installed. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
grounding plug.

Attachments

Do not use attachments not
recommended by the manufacturer, as
they may cause hazards.

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet of the projection TV
with a dry soft cloth. To remove dust
from the screen, wipe it gently with a soft
cloth. Stubborn stains may be removed
with a cloth slightly dampened with
solution of mild soap and warm water. Never use strong
solvents such as thinner or benzine for cleaning.

If the picture becomes dark after using the projection TV
for a long period of time, it may be necessary to clean the
inside of the projection TV. Consult qualified service
personnel.
