IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)
•Ifan 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. Section
810 of the National Electrical
Code provides informationwith 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 ofantenna-discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

•Lightning -For added protection for this television equipment during alightning
storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for along period
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.
•Power Lines -An outside antenna system should not
be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other electric 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.

Preparation
Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, install the two "AAA" size batteries supplied. in the remote control. When the
batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new "AAA" size batteries.
1Open the battery cover.
•Slide the cover while
pressing the (T )
part.
2Insert two "AAA" size batteries.
•Place batteries with their
terminals corresponding
to the
(+) and (-)
indications in the battery
compartment.
3Close the battery cover.
•Engaging the lower
claw with the remote
control, close the cover.
Precautions regarding batteries
•Improper use of batteries can result in aleakage 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 depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause arash. If chemical
leakage is found, wipe it off with acloth.
The batteries supplied with the LCD
TV set may have ashorter operating· time due to storage conditions.
If the remote control is not to be used for along period
of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.
•Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor
window
of the main unit. Objects between the remote control and
sensor window may prevent proper operation.
Cautions regarding use of the remote control
•Do not apply shock to the remote control. In addition, do not
expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place it
in an area
with high humidity.
•Do not install or place the remote control
in direct sunlight. The
heat may cause deformation
of the unit.
•The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor
window is
in direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such acase,
change the angle of the lighting
or main unit, or operate the
remote control closer to the remote sensor window.

Preparation (Continued)
•The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black &white television
reception.
For this reason, agood quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.
The following is a
brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems.
1. A 75-ohm system is generally around cable with F-type connector that
can easily be attached to aterminal without tools (not supplied).
2. A 300-ohm system is aflat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a
75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (not supplied).

Preparation (Continued)
CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION
• A 75-ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the LCD TV set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75-ohm coaxial
cable to the LCD TV set, screw the 75-ohm cable to the ANT terminal.
•Some cable
TV companies offer "premium pay channels". Since the signals of these premium pay channels are
scrambled, acable
TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company.
This converter/descrambler is necessary for normal viewing of the scrambled channels. (Set your TV to channel 3
or
4, typically one of these channels is used. If this is unknown, consult your cable ,TV company.) For more specific
instructions
on installing cable TV, consult your cable TV company. One possible method of utilizing the converter!
descrambler provided by your cable TV company is explained below.
Please note: An
RF switch provided with two inputs (A and B) is required (not supplied).
"A" position on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view all unscrambled channels by using the TV's channel keys.
"B" position
on the RF switch (not supplied): You can view the scrambled channels via the converter!descrambler by
using the converter's channel keys.
