storms.

• Unplug your display during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long period of time. This will protect
your display from damage due to power surges.

• Do not attempt to repair or service your display 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.

• WARNING: Keep your display away from moisture. Do not expose your display to rain or moisture. If water
penetrates into your display, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer. Continuous use in this case may

result in re or electric shock.

• Do not use your display 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 display yourself.

• Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your display 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 display may cause re or electric shock.

• Do not install your display in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your display in environments with

heavy dust or high humidity may cause re or electric shock.

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

• When unplugging your display, 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 display 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. Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine,

re or the like.

• If any of the following occurs, contact the dealer:

• The power cord fails or frays.

• Liquid sprays or any object drops into your display.

• Your display is exposed to rain or other moisture.

• Your display is dropped or damaged in any way.

• The performance of your display changes substantially.

• This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects lled with liquids, such as vases, shall
be placed on the apparatus.

• The mains plug or appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily
operable.

• CAUTION - These servicing instructions are for use by qualied service personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric

shock, do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualied

to do so.

• The lightning ash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated DANGEROUS VOLTAGE within the product’s enclosure that

may be of sucient magnitude to constitute a risk of electrical shock to persons.

• Please use caution around the display: pulling or pushing on the display may cause the display to
tip or fall over resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.

• -WARNING: Exposure to loud sounds can damage your hearing causing hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing
in the ears). With continued exposure to loud noises, ears may become accustomed to the sound level, which may
result in permanent damage to hearing without any noticeable discomfort.

• Install the TV where it cannot be pulled, pushed or knocked over.

• Do not allow children to hang onto the product.

• Store the accessories (remote, batteries, etc.) in a location safely out of the reach of children.

Your TV 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 o the power before connecting other

• Heed all warnings.

• Follow all instructions.

• Do not use this apparatus near water.

• Clean only with 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 with
one wider than the other. A grounding type 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 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.

• When moving your display from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature, condensation may

form in the housing. Wait before turning on your display to avoid causing re, electric shock, or component damage.

• A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your display and any heat source, such as a radiator,

heater, oven, amplier etc. Do not install your display close to smoke. Operating your display 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 display and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place
your display in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your display cabinet. Do not place any objects on the top of

your display. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a re or electric shock. Never spill liquids on your display.

• Your display 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 display. 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 dierent voltage than the voltage specied. For more information,

contact your dealer.

• When connected to a power outlet, power is always owing into your display. 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 display that may be of su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 display and easily accessible.

• Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your display. Any other voltage than the specied voltage may

cause re or electric shock.

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.
