IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your TV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined
design limits. Misuse may result in electric shock or fire. 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.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock or component
damage, switch off the power before connecting other
components to your TV.
• Read these instructions.
• Keep these instructions.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this apparatus near water.
• Clean only with a 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
amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized 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 fit 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 specified by the
manufacturer.
• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket,
or table specified 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 qualified service personnel. Servicing
is required when the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as when the power-supply 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.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your TV.
• 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 fire, 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, amplifier etc. Do not install your TV close to
smoke. Operating your TV 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 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 fire
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.
• Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your TV.
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 TV 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 TV safely. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounded plug.
• When connected to a power outlet, power is always
flowing into your TV. 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 TV that may be of sufficient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords.
Overloading can result in fire 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 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 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
qualified 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 fire or electric
shock.
• Do not use your TV 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 TV yourself.
• Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your
TV 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 TV may cause fire or electric
shock.
• Do not install your TV in an area with heavy dust or high
humidity. Operating your TV in environments with heavy
dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock.
• If any of the following occurs, contact the dealer:
- The power cord fails or frays.
- Liquid sprays or any object drops into your TV.
- Your TV is exposed to rain or other moisture.
- Your TV is dropped or damaged in any way.
- The performance of your TV changes substantially.
• This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or
splashing and no objects fill with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus.
• The mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the
disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain
readily operable.
• CAUTION - These servicing instructions are for use by
qualified 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 qualified to do so.
• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an
h
equilateral triangle 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 electrical shock to persons.
• Follow instructions for moving your TV. Ensure that the
power cord and any other cables are unplugged before
moving your TV.
• When unplugging your TV, hold the AC/DC power
adapter, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord may
damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire 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, fire
or the like.
TELEVISION ANTENNA CONNECTION PROTECTION
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.
Ground Clamp
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.
