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.
• 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 3 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
• 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.

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
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.

VIZIO Remote Control Precautions
• Keep the remote dry and away from heat sources and humidity.
• If your HDTV responds erratically to the remote control or does not respond at all, check the
batteries. If the batteries are low or exhausted, replace them with fresh batteries.
• When not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries.
• Do not take the batteries apart, heat them, or throw them into a fire.
• Do not subject the remote control to undue physical stress, such as striking or dropping it.
• Do not attempt to clean the remote control with a volatile solvent. Wipe it with a clean, damp
cloth.
• Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
Inserting the remote control batteries
1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote control.
2. Insert two AA batteries (included) into the remote control, making sure you match the (+) and (-)
symbols on the batteries with the (+) and (-) symbols inside the battery compartment.
3. Re-attach the battery compartment cover.
Precautionary Tips for Inserting the Batteries:
• Only use the specified AA batteries.
• Do not mix new and old batteries. This may result in cracking or leakage that may pose a fire
risk or lead to personal injury.
• Inserting the batteries incorrectly may also result in cracking or leakage that may pose a fire
risk or lead to personal injury.
• Dispose of the batteries in accordance with local laws and regulations.
• Keep the batteries away from children and pets.
Using a Cable or Satellite Remote
Your VIZIO remote uses codes 11758 and 10178 to work your LCD HDTV. To use a cable or satellite remote
to work the LCD HDTV, refer to your cable or satellite remote user guide for more information on how to
program the remote. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 5-digit code (like most Direct TV units), first try
11758 and then, if that does not work, 10178. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 4-digit code, try 1758 and
then 0178 as an alternative. If your cable or satellite remote uses a 3-digit code (EchoStar or Dish Network for
example), use code 627.
Cleaning the Housing and Remote Control
1. Use a soft cloth for cleaning.
2. If the housing or remote control is seriously contaminated, use a soft cloth moistened with
diluted neutral cleaner to clean the display. Wring water out of the cloth before cleaning to
prevent water from penetrating into the housing. Wipe the display with a dry cloth after
cleaning.
