liquid into the unit.
19. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the unit, be sure the antenna or cable
system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static
charges, Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with
respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire
to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

CHILD SAFETY:
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips in
mind:
THE ISSUE
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger at panel displays are
popular purchases. However, at panel displays are not always supported on the proper stands or
installed according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks,
speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!
The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TUNE INTO SAFETY
One size does NOT t all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for the safe installation and
use of your at panel display.
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this product.
Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.
Don’t place at panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps, such as a chest of
drawers. Remember that children can become excited while watching a program, especially on
a “larger than life” at panel display. Care should be taken to place or install the display where it
cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the at panel display so that they
cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL
DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an
independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your at panel display, contact your retailer
about professional installation.
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate to support the weight of
the unit/ product and wall mount. If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the unit if the unit is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room
or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens, unit’s performance will be impaired. To prevent
this, let the unit stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room
temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the unit is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such
cases, change the location of the unit.
HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL
• Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur.
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause
skin inammation.
If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in
your eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at least 15 minutes or longer in clean
water.
Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a xed (non-moving) pattern remains on the LCD Panel
for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the LCD Panel and cause subtle but
permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your LCD
Panel on for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats or images:
• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal
(4:3) display (black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen
(16:9) display (black bars on left and right sides of screen).
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation. Therefore
we disclaim any responsibility for these symptoms.
• LCD Panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology, however sometimes parts
of the screen may be missing picture elements or have luminous spots. This is not a sign of a malfunction.
• Do not install the LCD Panel near electronic equipment that produces electromagnetic waves. Some equipment
placed too near this unit may cause interference.
• Effect on infrared devices – There may be interference while using infrared devices such as infrared cordless
headphones.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The unit emits heat when in operation. Do not place any covers or blankets on the unit, this may cause overheating.
Do not block ventilation holes, or set up near radiators. Do not place in direct sunshine. When placing on a shelf
leave 10 cm (4 inches) free space around the entire unit.
Notes when mounting the LCD TV on a wall
• If the unit is to be mounted on the wall, contact the
retailer where you purchased the LCD TV for advice,
and have the equipment professionally installed.
Incomplete or improper installation may cause injury to
you, and/or damage to the LCD TV.
• Bracket holes: To attach a wall mounting bracket (not
supplied) attach where indicated in the drawing right.
• This manufacturer recommends professional
installation.
• Utilize an appropriate bracket and fasteners, sufcient
to accommodate the size and weight of the unit.
• Assure the wall to which the unit is to be mounted will
safely support the size and weight of the unit, using the
bracket and fasteners you have selected.
• Keep cords and cables connected to this at panel
display out of reach of children.
• To hang the television on a wall, remove these screws
and then remove a stand. Before performing work
spread cushioning over the base area to lay the TV on.

erratic. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types.
BATTERY PRECAUTIONS
These precautions should be followed when using
batteries in this device:
• Use only the size and type of batteries specied.
• Be sure to follow the correct polarity when installing

ANTENNA CONNECTIONS
If you are using an indoor or outdoor antenna, follow the instructions below that correspond to your
antenna system. If you are using a Cable TV service, see “Cable TV connections”.
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna (Single 75 ohm cable)
Connect the 75 ohm cable from the
combination VHF/UHF antenna to the
antenna jack.
CABLE TV CONNECTIONS
This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV
Converter box. Some cable companies offer “premium pay channels” where the signal is scrambled.
Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is
generally provided by the Cable TV company.
For subscribers to basic Cable TV service
For basic Cable TV service not requiring a Converter/
Descrambler box, connect the 75 ohm Coaxial Cable
Directly to the Antenna Jack on the back of the TV.
For subscribers to scrambled Cable TV service
If you subscribe to a Cable TV service which requires the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, connect
the incoming 75 ohm Coaxial Cable to the Converter/Descrambler box. Using another 75 ohm Coaxial
Cable, connect the output jack of the Converter/Descrambler box to the Antenna Jack on the TV. Follow
the connections shown below. Set the TV to the output channel of the Converter/Descrambler box
(usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to select channels.
For subscribers to unscrambled Cable TV service with scrambled premium channels
If you subscribe to a Cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium
channels require the use of a Converter/Descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal Splitter and
an A/B Switch box (available from the Cable TV company or an electronics supply store). Follow the
connections shown below. With the switch in the “B” position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled
channels on your TV. With the switch in the “A” position, tune your TV to the output of the Converter/
Descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the Converter/Descrambler box to tune scrambled
channels.
