WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not
expose the TV to rain or moisture.
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.
CAUTION
Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly
replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type.
Do not let this unit get wet. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the unit. If any liquid or solid object fall
through the unit, do not operate the unit. It may result
in electric shock or damage to the unit.
No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles,
should be placed on the apparatus.
This equipment must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
The available scientific evidence does not show that any
health problems are associated with using low power
wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these
low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low
power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio
frequency (RF) energy in the microwave range while
being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health
effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that
does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse
health effects. Many studies of low level RF exposures
have not found any biological effects. Some studies have
suggested that some biological effects might occur, but
such findings have not been confirmed by additional
research. The LocationFreeTV has been tested and found
to comply with the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) guidelines on RF energy exposures. The maximum
SAR levels tested for the LF-X1 has been show to be 0.87
W/kg at Body. LF-X5 has been show to be 1.25 W/kg at
Body.
* This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
* When using the unit with 802.11a (5GHz), use in doors.

What is a LocationFreeTV?
What is a
LocationFreeTV?
The LocationFreeTV is an LCD television system that embodies the LocationFreeTM concept—the
ability to enjoy TV, videos, DVDs, Internet browsing, mail, and digital photos wherever you happen to
be. Whether you use it at home through a wireless or wired LAN connection, or away from home with
the NetAV function, the LocationFreeTV allows you to enjoy video images and other media from a
variety of locations.
At home, when you set up the base station in a central room, you are free to roam anywhere within its
wireless transmission range carrying only the monitor.
Away from home, you can access your TV, videos, and DVDs by using the system’s NetAV function to
connect to your base station through the Internet. You can enjoy browsing the Internet, composing and
reading mail, and viewing your digital albums.
You can also register other monitors to a base station. This allows you to use NetAV from the other
registered monitors.
z Tips
• The LocationFreeTV is composed of a monitor and
a base station that communicate with each other over
a wireless connection. The monitor must be within
about 100 feet (30 meters)* of the base station in
order to send and receive transmissions clearly.
* Signal strength will differ based on operating
environment.
• When the monitor is in communication with the base
station, the upper of the screen displays the
indicator. (Only when using in Home-Wireless
LAN.)
• The monitor operates on a rechargeable battery.
Recharge the battery using the AC power adapter
(supplied). (For the LF-X1, the monitor can be
recharged while in use, but not for the LF-X5.)
• When the power is turned on, the base station
continuously emits a wireless signal.
Note
The LocationFreeTV transmits on the 2.4 GHz and 5
GHz* wireless channels. In the average home, this
gives it a coverage range of about 100 feet (30 meters).
If other devices in the vicinity emit electrical waves,
such as a wireless LAN device or microwave oven, the
strength of the wireless signal may decrease. The
materials used in the construction of a building’s walls
and floors may also affect the signal strength.
* At time of purchase, the LocationFreeTV is set to
the 2.4 GHz wireless channel.

Notes
• The holes on parts of the monitor are not for attaching a
carrying strap. Do not pass a string or other cord through them
by which to hang the monitor.
• Don’t cover the rear vent for a prolonged time while using the
monitor. Doing so may cause the surface of the product to
increase in temperature.
• Avoid touching hot areas of the surface of the product for long
periods, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Doing so may cause swellings or blisters as symptoms of
moderate temperature burn.

Notes
• When storing the battery long-term, use up any
remaining charge, then remove the battery and store
it in a cool place. In addition, fully charge the battery
and use up the entire charge at least once a year,
before returning the battery to storage.
• Like other rechargeable batteries, the supplied
lithium-ion battery gradually loses its ability to
charge with repeated use. When battery life
decreases significantly, it is time to buy a new
battery. The battery can be charged about 300 times
before it needs replacement.
• Depending on the type of battery, the battery charge
may run out and cause the power to shut off before
the indicator appears.
