DIGITAL TELEVISION TRANSITION NOTICE

DIGITAL TELEVISION TRANSITION NOTICE

This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air TV programming, with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV broadcasting in the United States on June 12, 12009. 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 find out when they will turn off their analog signal and switch to digital-only broadcasting.

For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) or see www.DTV.gov. For information on the TV Converter program, and on government coupons that may be used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009.

AVISO RELATIVO A LA TRANSICIÓN A TELEVISIÓN DIGITAL

Este equipo incorpora un sintonizador de televisión digital, lo que le permitirá recibir una programación digital televisada por aire, con una antena adecuada, cuando se terminará la transmisión de alta potencia de la televisión analógica en los Estados Unidos el 12 de Junio de 2009. Ciertos receptores de televisión antiguos, si dependen de una antena de TV, necesitarán un conversor de TV para recibir por el aire una programación digital, pero seguirán funcionando como antes para otros usos (por ejemplo para ver emisoras de TV de baja potencia que todavía transmiten en analógico, para ver películas pregrabadas, o para utilizar sus videojuegos).

Para obtener más información, llame FCC 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) o refiérase a www.DTV.gov. Para toda información sobre el programa de conversores de TV, y acerca de los cupones del gobierno que se pueden usar para comprarlos, refiérase a www.dtv2009.gov, o llame al NTIA al 1-888-DTV-2009.

NOTICES

Important Notices Concerning Power Cord Selection

The specific power cord for this LCD TV is enclosed and has been selected according to the country of destination. Use the enclosed power cord to prevent electric shock. Observe the following guidelines if it is necessary to replace the original cord set, or if there is no cord set enclosed. The female receptacle of the cord set must meet IEC-60320 requirements and should look like Figure A1 below:

Figure A1

Figure A2

For the United States and Canada

In the United States and Canada the male plug is a NEMA5-15 style (Figure A2), UL-listed, and CSA-labeled. For LCD TVs that are to be placed on a desk or table, type SVT or SJT cord sets may be used. For LCD TVs that are to be placed directly on the floor, only SJT type cord sets may be used. The cord set must be selected according to the current rating for the LCD TV. Consult the table below for the selection criteria of power cords used in the United States and Canada.

	Cord Type	Size of Conductor in Cord	Maximum Unit Current Rating
		18 AWG	10 Amps
	SJT	16 AWG	12 Amps

FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and may cause harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the distance between the LCD TV and the receiver.

•Connect the LCD TV to an outlet on a circuit separate from to which the receiver is connected.

•if the interference persists even after performing the above measures, consult the Westinghouse Service Center or an experienced radio/TV technician for assistance.

FCC Warning

To assure continued FCC compliance, use a grounded power supply cord and the provided shielded video interface cable with bonded ferrite cores. If a BNC cable is used, use only a shielded BNC (5) cable. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer will void the user's authority to operate this device.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

English

Circuit Overload

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or power strips. This can result in a fire or electronic shock.

Power Cord Protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Periodically inspect the cords for damage. Install the LCD TV near a wall socket outlet where the power cord can be readily accessed.

Ventilation

The slots and openings on the cabinet are provided for necessary ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the LCD TV and to protect it from overheating, these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

Do not block the openings by placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface.

Do not place the LCD TV in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or a rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

Safety: Lamp Disposal

ANTENNA INSTALLATION SAFETY

Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the LCD TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to prevent voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70, provides information on proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Antenna Grounding According to the National

Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

		Antenna lead in wire
	Grounding clamps	Antenna discharge unit
		(NEC Section 810-20)
	Electric service	Grounding Conductors
		(NEC Section 810-21)

Z

For added protection for the LCD TV during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. DO NOT disconnect the antenna or the power cord during a heavy storm—lightning may strike while you are holding the cable cord, causing serious injury. Turn off the LCD TV and wait for the weather to improve.

Power lines

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

CLEANING THE LCD TV

•Make sure the LCD TV is turned off and the power cord is

disconnected from the power outlet.

• Never spray or pour any liquid directly onto the screen or the case.

To clean the screen:

1Wipe the screen with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth. This removes dust and other particles.

2If it is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based glass cleaner onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, and wipe the screen.

To clean the case:

1Wipe the case with a soft, dry cloth.

2If it is still not clean, apply a small amount of non-ammonia, non-alcohol based, mild non-abrasive detergent onto a clean, soft, lint-free cloth, then wipe the surface.
