Your DTV is designed and manufactured to operate within dened design
limits. Misuse may result in electric shock or re. To 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 off

• Read these instructions.

• Keep these instructions.

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with a 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 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
replacement of the obsolete outlet.

• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at
plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the
apparatus.

• Only use attachments/accessories specied by the manufacturer.

• Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table

specied by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/
apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.

• 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 when
the 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.

• A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your TV
and any heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplier etc. Do
not install your TV close to smoke. Operating your TV 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 TV and to protect it

Do not place your TV in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation
is provided.

• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your TV cabinet.
Do not place any objects on the top of your TV. Doing so could short
circuit parts causing a re or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your
T V.

• Your TV 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 TV. 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 TV 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 TV safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of
the grounded plug.

• When connected to a power outlet, power is always owing into your
TV. 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 TV 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 TV and easily accessible.

• Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your TV. 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 TV during a lightning storm or when it will not be used

abnormally. Unplug the power cord immediately and contact your
dealer for repair. Continued use of your TV may cause re or electric
shock.

• Do not install your TV in an area with heavy dust or high humidity.
Operating your TV in environments with heavy dust or high humidity
may cause re or electric shock.

• Follow instructions for moving your TV. Ensure that the power cord and
any other cables are unplugged before moving your TV.

• When unplugging your TV, hold the AC/DC power adapter, not the

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 was complete on June
12, 2009. Analog-only television sets that receive TV programming through an
antenna now 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.

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.

A

Even if you do not experience any of the above symptoms, take
regular breaks from watching 3D content.

Installing Your TV for 3D Viewing

For the best viewing experience, VIZIO recommends that you install the TV with
the viewing distance and viewinvg angle in mind. When viewing 3D content, it is
important that you view the TV straight-on, or some of the 3D effect may be lost.

For your TV, VIZIO recommends:

Illustrations in this section are not drawn to scale. They are for
instructional purposes only.

Incorrect 3D Viewing Distance and Angle

In the example below, two of the viewers are sitting too close to the TV for a good
3D effect. In addition, the child on the oor is not seeing the best possible picture
because he/she is looking up at the TV.

The viewers in the example below are not seeing the best 3D picture.

Correct 3D Viewing Distance and Angle

In the examples below, all of the viewers are experiencing the best possible 3D
picture quality.

Eye Line

Best 3D - TV on Stand

In this example, the viewers are sitting at a good distance. They are viewing the
TV straight-on, close to the ideal eye line. They will experience good 3D quality.
