SAFETY INFORMATION
Overhead Falling Hazard
TV can pose a striking hazard when mounted at an
elevated position. Use only PDi mounting brackets,
support arms, and appropriate hardware to assure
TV will not fall from the mounted position. Failure
to do so may cause injury or death.
Rain and Moisture
WARNING: To avoid the hazards of fire or electrical
shock, DO NOT expose this apparatus to rain or
moisture.
Note to Cable TV Installer
This reminder is provided to call the cable TV systems
installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical
Code. The code provides guidelines for proper grounding and,
in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected
to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
the cable entry as practical. Canadian installations shall be
properly grounded in accordance with the Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1.
Cleaning and Disinfection
For the associated A-Series 24” PDi TV: Clean the exterior of this
television by removing dust with a lint-free cloth. Spot test a new
disinfectant by test cleaning a non-obvious small spot on the TV’s
back cabinet, keypad, and LCD panel. PDi recommends using a
premoistened disinfectant cloth, like PD600-001 Super Sani-Cloth
or similar, or spraying cleaner onto a dry cloth and then wiping
the unit. Specific recommendations can be found at
www.pdiarm.com. CAUTION: To avoid damage to the surface of
the television, do not use abrasive or chemical cleaning agents.
Oxygen Environment
WARNING: Do not use in any oxygen tent or
oxygen chamber. Such use may cause a fire
hazard.
