Important Safety Instructions

Your HDTV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits, and misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your HDTV from being damaged, the following rules should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of your HDTV. Read the following safety instructions before operating your HDTV. 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 sufficient 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 fire, electric shock, or component damage.

! Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified 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 3 feet should be maintained between your HDTV and any heat source, such

as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your HDTV close to smoke. Operating your HDTV close to smoke or moisture may cause fire 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 fire 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 specified. 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 fit 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 flowing into your HDTV. To

totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

! The lightning flash 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 sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.

! The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to

the presence of important operating and servicing instructions in the literature accompanying your HDTV.

! Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

www.VIZIO.com

VIZIO VO400E User Manual

! 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

specified voltage may cause fire 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 qualified 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 fire 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 fire 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 power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the power cord may

damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When your HDTV will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.

Television Antenna Connection Protection

External Television Antenna Grounding

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.

Advisory of the DTV Transition

The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting was completed on June 12, 2009. Your VIZIO HDTV is capable of receiving Digital Broadcasts, and no Digital Converter Box is required.

Insertion of Batteries in the Remote Control

Insert two AA batteries into the remote control. Make sure that you match the (+) and (-) symbols on the batteries with the (+) and (-) symbols inside the battery compartment. Re-attach the battery cover.

Precautionary Tips for Inserting the Batteries:

Only use the specified AA batteries. Do not mix new and old batteries. This may result in cracking or leakage that may

pose a fire risk or lead to personal injury. Inserting the batteries incorrectly may also result in cracking or leakage that may

pose a fire risk or lead to personal injury. Dispose of the batteries in accordance with local laws and regulations. Keep the batteries away from children and pets.

Remote Control Range

Point the remote control at the remote control sensor to transmit the commands. Do not place any obstacles between the remote control and the receiver window. The effective range of the remote control is approximately 30 feet (10 meters) from the front of the

receiver window, 30° to the left and right, 20° up and down.

VIZIO Remote Control Precautions

The remote control should be kept dry and away from heat sources. Avoid humidity. If the TV responds erratically to the remote control or does not respond at all, check the batteries. If the

batteries are low or exhausted, replace them with fresh batteries. When not using the remote control for a long period of time, remove the batteries. Do not take the batteries apart, heat them, or throw them into a fire. Do not subject the remote control to undue physical stress, such as striking or dropping it. Do not attempt to clean the remote control with a volatile solvent. Wipe it with a clean, damp cloth.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) - It is the first and only industry-supported, uncompressed, alldigital audio/video interface. HDMI provides an interface between any audio/video source, such as a set-top box, DVD player, or A/V receiver and an audio and/or video monitor, such as a digital television (DTV), over a single cable.

TV Coaxial RF. This is the connection for standard NTSC TV using antenna or cable.

RGB PC (VGA) – This video input has separate red, green and blue color components. The signal carries horizontal and vertical sync information on the green signal. This is most commonly used for PC input.

Component1/2 - The video signal is separated into three signals, one containing the black-and-white information and the other two containing the color information. This enhancement over S-Video takes advantage of the superior picture provided by progressive scan DVD players and HDTV formats.

S-Video - The video signal is separated into two signals, one containing the black-and-white information and the other containing the color information. Separating the color in this way avoids ‘cross color’ effects where closely spaced black and white lines are erroneously displayed in color. It also enables text to be displayed more sharply.

Composite (AV) - The complete video signal is carried through this single pin connector. This is the most commonly used video connection.
