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.

Important Safety Instructions

Your DTV is designed and manufactured to operate within dened design limits. Misuse may result in
electric shock or re. To prevent your DTV from being damaged, the following instructions should be
observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your DTV. Read the following safety instructions
before operating your DTV. 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 sufcient 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 re,
electric shock, or component damage.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specied 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, amplier 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.

• 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 re 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 specied. 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 t 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 owing into your HDTV. To totally disconnect
power, unplug the power cord.

• The lightning ash 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 sufcient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in re 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
specied voltage may cause re 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 qualied 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 re 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 re 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 re 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 AC/DC power adapter, not the cord. Pulling on the power
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.

• 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.

- 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.

1

Installing the TV

3. Move the TV with attached stand into an upright
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).

2

Installing the TV on a Wall

To mount your TV on a wall, you will need a wall mount. Consult the chart below to nd the
appropriate mount for your TV model:

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

Be sure the mount you choose is capable of supporting the weight of the TV. After you have
determined that you have the correct mount for your TV, you can begin the installation.

To install your TV on a wall:

1. Disconnect any cables connected to your TV.

2. Place the TV face-down on a clean, at, stable surface. Be sure the surface is clear of
debris that can scratch or damage the TV.

3. Remove the screws holding the stand to the TV.

Pull the stand away from the TV.

How VIZIO 3D Works

Our eyes have space between them, so when we look around, we see two slightly different
pictures. We never notice, because we are able to combine these pictures into one three­dimensional image.

The VIZIO 3D HDTV takes advantage of this phenomenon to create a stunning 3D image. When
displaying 3D content, the 3D HDTV actually displays a high-denition image for one eye, then
quickly switches to a high-denition image for the other eye. The images are alternately displayed
in this way many times per second.

VIZIO Full HD 3D glasses are in sync with the 3D HDTV, also alternating many times per second,
only allowing the right and left eyes to see the images intended for them.

The nal result is a stunning, life-like, high-resolution 3D picture.
