Important Safety Instructions for LCD TV
1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. Heed all warnings.
4. Follow all instructions.
5. Do not use this apparatus near water.
6. Clean only with dry cloth.
7. Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8. Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators,
heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
9. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades
with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has
two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade
or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the pro-
vided plug does not fit fully into your outlet, consult an
electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10. Protect the power cord from being walked on or
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11. Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12. Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table
specified by the manufacturer, or sold with
the apparatus. When a cart is used, use
caution when moving the cart/apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when
unused for long periods of time.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Ser-
vicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate nor-
mally, or has been dropped.
15. If an outside antenna is connected to the television
equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built up static charges. In the U.S. Selection 810-
21 of the National Electrical Code 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, con-
nection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for
the grounding electrodes.
16. An outside antenna system should not be located in the
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical
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.
17. The AC Adapter power supply should not be placed in a
confined area. Proper ventilation is required to ensure
reliable operation and to protect it from overheating
18. "Apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splash-
ing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases,
shall be placed on the apparatus."
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING TO NATIONAL
ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
“Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to Article 820-40
of the NEC that 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 cable entry as practical.”

The screen is likely to be damaged if it is not main-
tained properly. DO NOT use hard objects such as hard
cloth or paper. DO NOT use excessive pressure when
cleaning the LCD screen; excessive pressure can cause
permanent discoloration or dark spots.
N ote: Never spray liquids on the screen
because they can run down and
enter the cabinet. This may cause

Operational Tip for No
Signal Connection:
If the TV is used as a monitor only,
with a DVD player or some other type
of external equipment, and no cable or
antenna signal is available, the follow-
ing setup is necessary:
Your TV is designed to automatically
search for available channels. There-
fore, the initial start up requires that
you press the CH key, enabling the
TV to automatically go through the
channel search process before you can
operate the TV. After the initial channel
search is completed, you must press the
CH key again to complete the
channel search process. This may take
several minutes.
After the channel search process is
complete (2 searches), you can press
the INPUT key on the remote control
to use the TV as a monitor.

TV will automatically select the correct Antenna mode
for the type of Analog RF signal connected automatically.
Use “Antenna Selection” in the Setup menu to change the
Antenna Mode.

TV will switch off automatically after 15 minutes if there is no
signal reception (cable out or station not broadcasting).
Exception—When the Video mode is selected, the TV will not
automatically switch off when signal reception has stopped
for 15 minutes.

If you move the TV to a new location, press the RESET key
twice after connecting the signal and turning on the TV.
