5. CLEANING
Unplug this unit from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Clean only with a dry cloth.
6. ATTACHMENTS
The manufacturer of this unit does not make any recommendations for attachments, as they may cause
hazards.
7. WATER AND MOISTURE
Do not use this unit near water, for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool.
8. ACCESSORIES
Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. The unit may fall, causing serious injury, and serious
damage to the unit. An appliance and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven
surfaces may cause the appliance and cart combination to overturn.
9. VENTILATION
Slots and openings at the rear cabinet and bottom are provided for ventilation. These are to ensure reliable operation of the unit,
and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This unit should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat
source. This unit should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or
the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
10. POWER SOURCE
This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the rating plate. If you are not sure of the type of
power supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company.
11. 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.
12. LIGHTNING
To protect your unit from 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 or cable system. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power line surges.
13. 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 onto or against 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.
14. OVERLOADING
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords, as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
15. OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY
Do not push objects through any openings in this unit, as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could
result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid into the unit.
16. HEAT
The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
17. CONNECTING
When you connect the product to other equipment, turn off the power and unplug all of the equipment from the wall outlet. Failure
to do so may cause a product damage. Read the owner's manual of the other equipment carefully and follow the instructions when
making any connections.
18. LCD
Do not press on or jolt the LCD panel. Doing so may cause the LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur. Should the LCD
panel be broken and liquid leaks out, do not inhale or swallow it. Doing so may cause poisoning. If you have got it into your mouth,
wash it out and consult your doctor. If your hands or clothes have touched it, wipe them with alcohol and a cleaning cloth and then
wash them well.

If you don’t have previous experience with electronic equipment connection, read this section completely
before continuing with the installation.
Note: Cables are not supplied; they are mentioned just for reference.
•Audio cables are usually color coded according to use: red and white for audio. The red audio cable
is for the stereo right channel and the white audio cable is for the stereo left (or mono) channel. The
terminals on the rear panel of the monitor are color coded in the same manner as the cables.
•S-video cables provide better picture performance than standard video cables. S-video cables can
only be used with S-video compatible components.
•BNC cables provide better connection and picture performance.
