Refer to the identication/rating label located on the back panel of your product for its proper operating voltage.
FCC regulations state that unauthorized changes or modications to this equipment may void the user’s authority to
operate it.
Cable TV Installer: This reminder is provided to call your attention to Article 820-40 of the National Electrical Code
(Section 54 of the Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1) which provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular,
species that the cable ground should be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.
Important: This television is a table model and is designed to sit on a rm, at surface. Don’t place the TV on soft
carpeting or similar surface because the ventilation slots on the bottom of the unit will be blocked, resulting in reduced
lifetime from overheating. To assure adequate ventilation for this product, maintain a spacing of 4 inches from the top
and side of the TV receiver and 2 inches from the rear of the TV receiver and other surfaces.
Also, make sure the stand or base you use is of adequate size and strength to prevent the TV from being accidentally
tipped over, pushed off, or pulled off. This could cause personal injury and/or damage to the TV. Refer to the
Important Safety Instructions on the next page.
The Power button (followed by the power symbol) on this TV and your remote control puts the TV into a very low-
power standby mode but will not completely turn the power off. In order to completely shut the power off, you will
need to disconnect the power cord from the outlet. The mains plug/appliance coupler is used as disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily operable. Therefore, you should ensure that the TV is installed in a manner
that allows you to disconnect the power cord when desired.

Before Initial Setup
Protect Against Power Surges
• Connect all components before you plug any power cords into the wall outlet or power strip.
• NEVER plug your TV into an outlet that is controlled by a wall switch.
• Turn off the TV before you connect or disconnect any cables.
• Make sure all antennas and cables are properly grounded. Refer to the Important Safety
Instructions.
Safety Information
• Protect components from overheating.
• Don’t block ventilation holes on any of the components. Arrange the components so that air can
circulate freely.
• Don’t stack components.
• If you place the component in a stand, make sure you allow adequate ventilation.
• If you connect an audio receiver or amplier, place it on the top shelf so the heated air from it won’t
harm other components.
Avoid Audio Interference
• Position cables properly; insert each cable rmly into the designated jack.
• If you place components above the TV, route all cables down one side of the back of the TV instead
of straight down the middle.
• If your antenna uses 300-ohm twin lead cables, do not coil the cables.
• Keep twin lead cables away from audio/video cables.
Avoid Direct Light
Don’t place the TV where sunlight or room lighting is directed toward the screen. Use soft or indirect
lighting.
Check Supplied Parts
Check that the following parts were packed with your product.
• 1 Remote Control and 2 AAA Batteries;
• Audio/Video adapter cable;
• Audio adapter cable;
• Component Video (YPbPr) adapter cable;
• User’s Guide;
• Quick Start Guide;
• Parts List for Table Stand (see page 5)

Attaching Your TV to the Table Stand
Your TV comes without the table stand attached so that you can choose to mount your TV either to
its table stand or to a wall (wall mount sold separately). If you want to mount your TV to the wall, don’t
attach the table stand. Follow the Mounting Your TV to the Wall instructions.
First, remove the TV bag and place it on a large, at surface such as a table or countertop.
Remove the TV from the carton and place it face down on the TV bag. Be sure that the TV is
face down to avoid scratching the screen.
Then follow the steps below:
Connections and Setup
Mounting Your TV to the Wall
The VESA number is the horizontal and vertical measurement of the mounting holes. For example,
200x100 refers to the fact that the mounting measurements are 200mm horizontally and 100mm vertically.
Notes: Follow the directions included with the wall mount to mount the TV to the wall.
Caution: Your wall mount must be able to bear a minimum of ve times the TV’s net weight to avoid causing damage.
To mount your TV to the wall, purchase a VESA wall mount.

Obtain the Signal
The rst step in connecting your TV is obtaining the signal. The back panel of your TV allows you to receive
analog and/or digital channels by using the HDMI or ANT/CABLE/SAT connections. To obtain the best
quality, use the HDMI connection.
Connect the outside ariel to the ANT/CABLE/SAT IN
connection on the back of the TV to receive off-air channels.
Use an HDMI connection to display the best picture and
sound quality for satellite and cable
• If you have a set-top box, you may need to call your cable
company or satellite service provider. They may commend
special cables to allow you to view digital channels.
• The aerial socket (75 OHM - VHF / UHF / cable) can be used
for connecting an external aerial or other equipment tted
with a modulator (video recorder, satellite receiver, etc.). We
recommend that you do not connect other equipment (video
recorder, satellite receiver, etc.) to your TV set to begin with,
so as not to complicate the set-up procedure with the
additional steps involved. Connect them when you have
nished setting up the channels.
• Visit www.antennaweb.org for help in deciding what type of antenna to use in order to receive the local digital
channels available to you. Enter your location, and the program will list local analog and digital stations available
using your antenna.
Switching On
Follow the instructions on this page on how to switch on your TV set and use the remote control before going on to
following pages describing how to use the channel scan procedure.
1. Insert two AAA batteries in the remote control.
Precautions on using batteries:
- Only use the battery types specied.
- Make sure you use the correct polarity.
- Do not mix new and used batteries.
- Do not use rechargeable batteries.
- Do not expose batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, re or the like, throw them in a re, recharge them
or try to open them, as this could cause them to leak or explode.
- Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not using it for a long period of time.
2. Connect the power cable to a mains socket. (If the power cable is not connected to the television, please rst
connect the power cable to the television.) Your TV set should only be connected to an AC supply. It must not be
connected to a DC supply. If the plug is detached from the cable, do not, under any circumstances, connect it to a
mains socket, as there is a risk of electric shock.
3. When powered on, if the TV set is in standby mode, press on the remote control or on the TV set to turn on the
TV.
Switching Off
To put the TV set into standby mode, press on the remote control or on the TV, the TV set remains powered up,
but with low energy consumption.
To switch off the TV set, unplug the mains socket from the mains outlet.
