Your TV is designed and manufactured to operate within dened
design limits. Misuse may result in electric shock or re. To prevent

your TV from being damaged, the following instructions should be

observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your TV. Read

the following safety instructions before operating your TV. Keep these
instructions in a safe place for future reference.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with dry cloth.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,

stoves, or other apparatus (including ampliers) that produce heat.

• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type
plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A
grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The

wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided
plug does not t into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement

of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at

plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the

apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specied by the
manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use

caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury
from tip-over.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.

• Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is required
when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply

English - ii

cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does

not operate normally, or has been dropped.

• When moving your TV from an area of low temperature to an area of high

temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on

your TV to avoid causing re, electric shock, or component damage.

• A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your TV and

any heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplier etc. Do not install

your TV close to smoke. Operating your TV close to smoke or moisture may

cause re or electric shock.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of your TV and to protect it from
overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not
place your TV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your TV cabinet. Do
not place any objects on the top of your TV. Doing so could short circuit parts
causing a re or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your TV.

• Your TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated

on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home,

consult your dealer or local power company.

intended to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated, dangerous voltage
within the inside of your TV that may be of sucient magnitude to constitute

a risk of electric shock to persons.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can
result in re or electric shock.

• The wall socket should be installed near your TV and easily accessible.

• Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your TV. Any other voltage

than the specied voltage may cause re or electric shock.

• Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric shock, avoid
handling the power cord during electrical storms.

• Unplug your TV during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long
period of time. This will protect your TV from damage due to power surges.

• Do not attempt to repair or service your TV yourself. Opening or removing

the back cover may expose you to high voltages, electric shock, and other
hazards. If repair is required, contact your dealer and refer all servicing to
qualied service personnel.

• WARNING: Keep your TV away from moisture. Do not expose your TV to
rain or moisture. If water penetrates into your TV, unplug the power cord
and contact your dealer. Continuous use in this case may result in re or

electric shock.

Pulling on the power cord may damage the wires inside the cord and cause

re or electric shock. When your TV will not be used for an extended period

of time, unplug the power cord.

• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.

• Insert batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarities may

cause the batteries to leak which can damage the remote control or injure
the operator. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine,
re or the like.

disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

• CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualied service

personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any

servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you
are qualied to do so.

• The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated DANGEROUS
VOLTAGE within the product’s enclosure that may be of sucient

magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.

• Please use caution around the TV: pulling or pushing on the TV may

cause the TV to tip or fall over resulting in personal injury and/or property

damage.

• WARNING: Exposure to loud sounds can damage your hearing causing
hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears). With continued
exposure to loud noises, ears may become accustomed to the sound level,

which may result in permanent damage to hearing without any noticeable
discomfort.

• Install the TV where it cannot be pulled, pushed or knocked over.

• Do not allow children to hang onto the product.

• Store the accessories (remote, batteries, etc.) in a location safely out of the
reach of children.

• The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages television viewing for
children younger than two years of age.

• Use only with a UL-listed wall mount bracket rated for the weight/ load of

the television.

• WARNING: Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television
set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries,
particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the

television set.

• Only using furniture that can safely support the television set

• Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting

furniture.

• Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or

bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set

to a suitable support.

• Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be

located between the television set and the supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach

the television set or its controls.

• If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same
considerations as above should be applied.

Television Antenna Connection Protection

Ground Clamp

Electric Service Equipment

• 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.
