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 o 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 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

• 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 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

re, electric shock, or component damage.

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.

INSTALLING THE TV

After removing the TV from the box and inspecting the package contents, you can begin installing the TV. Your TV can be installed in two ways:

• On a at surface, using the included stand

• On a wall, using a VESA-standard wall mount (not included)

Installing the TV Stands

Your TV includes stands designed to support the weight of the TV and keep it from falling over. However, the TV can still fall over if:

• It is placed on an uneven, unstable, or non-level surface

• It is pushed, pulled, or otherwise improperly moved

• If an earthquake occurs and the TV is not properly secured.

To install the stands:

TV ON STAND

Remove any plastic wrapping from the TV and the stands.

Place the TV screen-down on a clean, at surface. To prevent

scratches or damage to the screen, place the TV on a soft

surface such as a blanket and avoid any sharp edges.

Insert the left and right stands into the base of the TV. (The stands are identical.)

Secure each stand to the TV with two Phillips screws (included).

Insert the screws into the back of the TV and tighten them using a Phillips screwdriver.

When you are nished, place the TV on a stable, level surface.

Installing the TV on a Wall

To mount your TV on a wall, you will need a wall mount. Consult

Installing a TV on a wall requires lifting. To prevent injury or damage to the TV, ask someone to help you.
