manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. Do not place the product on an unstable
trolley, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can cause the
product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product.
When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.
16.Careful move---When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven
floor surfaces can cause the product to fall from the trolley.
Never attempt to move the TV unless the AC power cord has been disconnected.
17. Lightning---Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time.
For added protection for this television equipment 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. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and
power-line surges.
18. Do not use this apparatus near water---for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.
Do not use immediately after moving from a low temperature to high temperature
environment, as this causes condensation, which may result in fire, electric shock, or
other hazards.
19. Clean only with dry cloth---Unplug this product from the wall outlet before
cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
20. Ventilation---Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer instructions. The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for
ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation
can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on
a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This
product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed
place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions are followed.
21.Heat sources---Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,
stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
22.Panel protection---The display panel used in this product is made of glass.
Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impacted upon by other objects.
Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the display panel breaks.
23.Pixel defect---The display panel is a very high technology product, giving you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few
non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not affect the
performance of your product.

<Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window of the
set. Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper
operation.
Cautions regarding use of remote control
<Do not expose the remote control to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote
control to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.
<Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.
<The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the main unit is under direct sunlight or strong
lighting. In such a case, change the angle of the lighting or the TV set, or operate the remote control closer to the remote
sensor window.
If the remote control fails to operate the TV functions, replace the batteries in the remote control.
Precaution on battery use
Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
<Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.
<Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.
<Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old
batteries to leak chemicals.
<Remove batteries as soon as they are non-operable. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical
leakage is found, wipe with a cloth.
<If the remote control is not used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.
<The batteries (battery pack of batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
Open the battery cover.

Insert the AC plug into a conveniently located AC outlet.
=This product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label.
=Always unplug the AC cord from power outlet when not using for a long period of time.
75-ohm coaxial cable (round cable)
INSTALL the unit in a room where direct light will not fall upon the screen. Total darkness or a reflection on the picture
screen may cause eyestrain. Soft and indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing.
Optimum reception of colour requires a good signal and will generally mean that an outdoor antenna must be used.
The exact type and position of the antenna will depend upon your particular area.
=It is recommended that the 75-ohm coaxial cable be used to eliminate interference and noise which may occur due to radio wave
conditions.
=The antenna cable should not be bundled with the power cord and the like.
=Since your new TV has a digital receiver, please ensure you have the best possible antenna installation so to avoid picture defects
and disappointment, otherwise picture defects may occur.
