Important Safety Instructions
Your HDTV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits. 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.
To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before connecting
other components to your HDTV.
Unplug the power cord before cleaning your HDTV. A damp cloth is sufficient for cleaning your HDTV.
Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning your HDTV. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.
When moving your HDTV from an area of low temperature to an area of high
temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your
HDTV to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by manufacturer or
sold with your HDTV. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the
cart/HDTV combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Do not place your HDTV on
an unstable cart, stand, or table. If your HDTV falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage
to your HDTV. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with your HDTV.
A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your HDTV and any heat source, such
as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your HDTV close to smoke. Operating your
HDTV close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or electric shock.
Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure
reliable operation of your HDTV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not
blocked or covered. Do not place your HDTV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is
provided.
Never push any object into the slots and openings on your HDTV cabinet. Do not place any objects
on the top of your HDTV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill
liquids on your HDTV.
Your HDTV 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.
Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your HDTV. This may compromise the integrity of the
display. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover user abuse or improper installations.
The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified. For more
information, contact your dealer.
Your HDTV is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug (a plug with a third grounding pin).
This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If your outlet does not
accommodate the three-pronged, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to
ground your HDTV safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your HDTV. To totally disconnect
power, unplug the power cord.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended
to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated, dangerous voltage within the inside
of your HDTV that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk
of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important operating and servicing instructions in the
literature accompanying your HDTV.
Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
The wall socket should be installed near your HDTV and easily accessible.
Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your HDTV. Any other voltage than the specified
voltage may cause fire or electric shock
2
www.VIZIO.com
VIZIO E322VL User Manual
Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric shock, avoid handling the power cord
during electrical storms.
Unplug your HDTV during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will
protect your HDTV from damage due to power surges.
Do not attempt to repair or service your HDTV 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 qualified service personnel.
Keep your HDTV away from moisture. Do not expose your HDTV to rain or moisture. If water
penetrates into your HDTV, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer. Continuous use in this
case may result in fire or electric shock.
Do not use your HDTV if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes apparent, unplug the
power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair your HDTV yourself.
Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your HDTV is dropped and the housing is damaged,
the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord immediately and contact
your dealer for repair. Continued use of your HDTV may cause fire or electric shock.
Do not install your HDTV in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your HDTV in
environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock.
Follow instructions for moving your HDTV. Ensure that the power cord and any other cables are
unplugged before moving your HDTV.
When unplugging your HDTV, hold the power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord may
damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When your HDTV 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.
If any of the following occurs, contact the dealer:
o The power cord fails or frays.
o Liquid sprays or any object drops into your HDTV.
o Your HDTV is exposed to rain or other moisture.
o Your HDTV is dropped or damaged in any way.
o The performance of your HDTV changes substantially.

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.

Advisory of the DTV Transition
The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting will be complete on June 12, 2009, but your local
television stations may switch sooner. After the switch, analog-only television sets that receive TV
programming through an antenna will need a converter box to continue to receive over-the-air TV. Watch
your local stations to find out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to digital-only
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.
