Important Safety Information for Viewing 3D Content
You may experience discomfort while watching 3D content. You may feel symptoms of eye strain,
vision fatigue, color or depth distortion, motion sickness, nausea, dizziness, disorientation, or
other discomforts. If you experience any of these symptoms, stop watching and take a break for
at least thirty minutes before resuming. If the symptoms are severe or continue even after you
have stopped watching 3D content, consult a doctor.
Take care to monitor children’s watching of 3D content. Children (including teenagers) may
be more at risk of experiencing discomfort while watching 3D content and less likely to report
symptoms. Monitor children’s 3D content viewing and watch for signs of discomfort.
Some viewers may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes when viewing 3D images, even
if those conditions have not been previously diagnosed. If you or anyone in your family has a
history of seizures or strokes, or if you have any other reason to think you or someone under your
supervision may be susceptible to epileptic seizures or strokes, consult a doctor before watching
3D content.
Even if you do not experience any of the above symptions, take regular breaks from watching 3D
content.

condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your HDTV to avoid causing re,
electric shock, or component damage.
• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specied 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 three feet should be maintained between your HDTV and any heat source,
such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplier etc. Do not install your HDTV close to smoke. Operating
your HDTV close to smoke or moisture may cause re 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.

cord may damage the wires inside the cord and cause re 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.

- Liquid sprays or any object drops into your HDTV.
- Your HDTV is exposed to rain or other moisture.
- Your HDTV is dropped or damaged in any way.
- The performance of your HDTV changes substantially.
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.
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.
DTV Transition Advisory
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 nd 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.

Chapter 1: Installing the TV
1
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 Stand
Your TV includes a stand 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
Some models already have the base attached. If your TV already has the base attached, proceed
to Step 3.
To install the TV stand:
Installing the TV
1. 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 carpet, rug, or blanket.
2. Slide the base plate into the slot on the stand, making
sure the arrow on the stand base plate points toward
the front of the TV.
If your stand has a wing screw on the bottom, tighten
it securely.

position and place on a at, level, and stable surface.
4. To help prevent the TV from falling over, attach one
end of the included safety cable to the wall behind the
TV. Attach the other end to one of the wall-mounting
holes on the back of the TV.
5. To ensure proper ventilation, leave 1” of space between the back of the TV and any other
objects (walls, etc).
