Important Safety Precautions
Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property
damage if improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest
priority on safety. However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential
danger, please observe the following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To
ensure your safety and prolong the service life of your LCD colour TV product, please read the following
precautions carefully before using the product.
1. Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.
2. Keep this manual in a safe place—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for
future reference.
3. Observe warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.
4. Follow instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.
5. Attachments—Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate attachments
can result in accidents.
6. Power source—This product must operate on a power source specified on the model label. If you are not sure
of the type of power supply used in your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
7. AC cord protection—The AC cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them or
objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product.
8. Overloading—Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
9. Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High
voltage flows in the product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For
the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.
10. Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage
and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.
11. Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet, and request a
qualified service person to perform repairs.
a. When the AC cord or plug is damaged.
b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.
Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment
of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment
work by a qualified technician.
e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates
that the product needs servicing.
12. Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as
the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.
13. Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety
checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.
14. Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product
according to the method recommended by the manufacturer.
15. Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before installing the speakers.

Important Safety Precautions
• Cleaning—Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product.
Use a damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners.
• Water and moisture—Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub,
washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.
• Stand—Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing
so can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as
damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended
by the manufacturer or sold with 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.
• When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care.
Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to
fall from the cart.
• Ventilation—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.
• The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when
the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by
broken glass pieces in case the LCD panel breaks.
• Heat sources—Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters,
stoves and other heat-generating products (including amplifiers).
The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 2,949,120 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture
details.
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.
Precautions when transporting the Display
When transporting the Display, never carry it by holding onto the speakers. It is recommended to carry the
Display by two people holding it with two hands—one hand on each side of the Display.
• Do not place vases or any other water-filled containers on this product.
The water may spill onto the product causing fire or electric shock.

1Open the battery cover. 2Insert two supplied LR6 (“AA”size)
Alkaline batteries.
•Place batteries with their terminals
corresponding to the (e) and (f)
indications in the battery compartment.
3Close the battery cover.
CAUTION
Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.
•Do not use manganese batteries. When you replace the batteries, use alkaline ones.
•Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (e) and (f) indications.
•Do not mix batteries of different types. Different types of batteries have different characteristics.
•Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries or cause
chemical leakage in old batteries.
•Remove batteries as soon as they have worn out. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If you
find any chemical leakage, wipe thoroughly with a cloth.
•The batteries supplied with this product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.
•If you will not be using the remote control unit for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from it.
Inserting the batteries
Before using the System for the first time, insert two LR6 (“AA”size) Alkaline batteries (supplied). When the
batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new LR6 (“AA”
size) Alkaline batteries.
Using the remote control unit
Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote sensor window.
Objects between the remote control unit and sensor window may prevent proper
operation.
Cautions regarding remote control unit
•Do not expose the remote control unit to shock.
In addition, do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place
in an area with high humidity.
•Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight.
The heat may cause deformation of the unit.
•The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote sensor window of
the Display is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change
the angle of the lighting or Display, or operate the remote control unit closer to
the remote sensor window.
