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:
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.

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.

Setting Up Your HDTV
Note: We strongly recommend that two people perform the setup and assembly due to the weight and
size of the TV.
Read this user manual carefully before installing your HDTV.
•
The power consumption of your HDTV is about 144W (AVG) for the SV421XVT and 204W (AVG)
•
for the SV471XVT. Use the included power cord. When an extension cord is required, use one
with the correct power rating. The cord must be grounded and the grounding feature must not be
compromised.
Your HDTV should be installed on a flat surface to avoid tipping.
•
For proper ventilation, you must allow space between the back of your HDTV and the wall.
•
If you want to mount your HDTV on the wall, see below for additional information.
•
Avoid installing your HDTV in places with high humidity, dust, or smoke so you do not shorten the
•
service life of the electronic components.
•
Install your HDTV in a level, landscape orientation, with the VIZIO logo at the bottom to prevent
poor ventilation and excessive component damage.

Attaching the safety strap
When your HDTV is not mounted on the wall, use the included safety strap to attach the HDTV to the wall
to reduce the chance of the HDTV being pulled over. The Safety Strap should be used with common
sense practice such as ensuring that children (or adults) do not climb up, grabbing the top of the HDTV
and pulling it onto themselves.
1. Attach one end of the strap to the wall:
•
If you have a drywall finish attach it to a stud, using a
washer underneath the screw head.
If you have a solid wall you should use a lag bolt, again
•
using a washer under the nut.
2. Attach the other end of the Safety Strap to
one of the upper wall mounting holes on
the back of the HDTV, using a washer
under the screw head.
