period of time. Also, do not display the same stationary patterns frequently. This may result in permanent
ghost images on the display unit. This type of damage is not covered under warranty. Examples of this
type of situation can be but not limited to the following: side bar images, stock market report bars, video
game patterns, closed captioning, shopping channel logo, price display, and letterbox black bars. To
prevent this type of damage, display constant moving images that fill the screen as often as possible.
According to the industrial standards, there are a certain number of defective pixels both bright
and dark that are acceptable. Although we produce panel with more than 99.99 percent active
cells, there still may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit. For more information,
please contact sales or the technical support.
Double insulation this is class apparatus.
The mains plug used as the disconnect device. The disconnect device shall remain readily operable.

11.POLARIZATION - This unitis equipped witha
polarized alternating current line plug (a plug
having one blade wider than the other). This
plug will fit into the power outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to
insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing
the plug. If the plug still fails to fit, contact your
electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
plug.
12.POWER-CORD PROTECTION - Power supply
cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, paying particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from
the appliance.
13.LIGHTNING - To protect your unit during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended
and unused for long periods of time, unplug it
from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna

liquid into theunit.
17.OUTDOOR ANTENNA GROUNDING - 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.
18.SERVICING - Do not attempt to service this
unit yourself as opening or removing covers
may expose you to dangerous voltage or other
hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
