Important Safety Instructions
Your HDTV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your HDTV from being damaged, the following rules should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your HDTV. Read the following safety instructions before operating your HDTV. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

Television Antenna Connection Protection
External Television Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be connected to the TV, make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 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 the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.
Lightning Protection
For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
Power Lines
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or
where it could fall into such power lines or circuits.
Remember, the screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to earth in the building installation.
FCC Bulletin for New TV Owners
After February 17, 2009, a television receiver with only an analog broadcast tuner will require a converter box to receive full power over-the-air broadcasts with an antenna because of the Nation's transition to digital broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as before to receive low power, Class A or translator television stations and with cable and satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.
Information about the DTV transition is available from http://www.DTV.gov or this manufacturer at
877 MY VIZIO (877-698-4946), and from http://www.dtv2009.gov or 1-888-DTV-2009 for information about subsidized coupons for digital-to-analog converter boxes.
Your HDTV comes with a built-in tuner capable of processing digital broadcasts, making it easier for you to receive this type of signal without the need of an extra converter box.

Attaching the safety strap
For when your HDTV is not mounted on the wall with a Wall Mount, a Safety Strap has been included to attach the HDTV to the wall to reduce the chance of the HDTV being pulled over. The Safety Strap should be used with common sense practice such as ensuring that children (or adults) do not climb up, grabbing the top of the HDTV and pulling it onto themselves.
1.Fix one end of the strap to the wall. If you have a drywall finish it is preferable to fix it to a stud, using a washer underneath the screw head. If you have a solid wall you should use a lag bolt, again using a washer under the nut.
2.Fix the other end of the Safety Strap to one of the upper wall mounting holes on the back of the HDTV, using a washer under the screw head.

RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red, |
Blue |
|
green and blue color components. The signal carries |
|
horizontal and vertical sync information on the green |

|

|
signal. This is most commonly used for PC input. |

Component1/2 - The video signal is separated into |
Green and |
|
three signals, one containing the black-and-white |
|
information and the other two containing the color |
|
Purple |
|
information. This enhancement over S-Video takes |
|
|
advantage of the superior picture provided by |

progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats. |

Separating the color in this way avoids ‘cross color’ |
|
effects where closely spaced black and white lines are |
|
and |
|
|
|
erroneously displayed in color. It also enables text to |

Composite (AV1/2) - The complete video signal is |

carried through this single pin connector. This is the |
