Important Safety Instructions
x To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage,
switch off the power before connecting other components to your HDTV.
x Unplug the power cord before cleaning your HDTV. Use only a
damp cloth for cleaning your HDTV. Do not use any liquid, spray, or abrasive cleaners on your HDTV.
x Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer
to insure compatibility.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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 or operating your HDTV close to smoke or moisture as it may cause fire or electric shock.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage
than the voltage specified. For more information, contact your dealer.
x 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 plug, 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.
x When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into
your HDTV. To totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.
x 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.
x 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.
x Do not overload power strips and
extension cords. Overloading can result
in fire or electric shock.
x The wall socket should be installed near your HDTV and easily
accessible.
x Only power of the specified voltage can be used for your HDTV.
Any other voltage than the specified voltage may cause fire or electric shock.
x Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric
shock, avoid handling the power cord during electrical storms.
x Unplug your HDTV during a lightning storm or when it will not
be used for long periods of time. This will protect your HDTV from damage due to power surges.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x 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.
x Follow instructions for moving your HDTV. Ensure that the
power cord and any other cables are unplugged before moving your HDTV.
x 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.
x To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with
wet hands.
x Insert batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect
polarities may cause the batteries to leak which can damage the remote control or injure the operator.
x 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 connected to your HDTV, 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 your HDTV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug your HDTV 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 over­the-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.
