Important Safety Instructions

Your HDTV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits. Misuse

may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your HDTV from being damaged, the

following instructions should be observed for the installation, use, and maintenance of

your HDTV. Read the following safety instructions before operating your HDTV. Keep

these instructions in a safe place for future reference.

Warning:

To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before

connecting other components to your HDTV.

Unplug the AC power cord before cleaning your HDTV. A damp cloth is sufficient for

cleaning your HDTV. Do not use a liquid or a spray cleaner for cleaning your HDTV. Do

not use abrasive cleaners.

Always use the accessories recommended by the manufacturer to insure compatibility.

When moving your HDTV from an area of low temperature to an area of high temperature,

condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your HDTV to avoid

causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.

Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by manufacturer

or sold with your HDTV. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the

cart/HDTV combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Do not place your HDTV on

an unstable cart, stand, or table. If your HDTV falls, it can injure a person and

cause serious damage to your HDTV. Use only a cart or stand recommended by

the manufacturer or sold with your HDTV.

A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your HDTV and any heat

source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier etc. Do not install your HDTV close to

smoke. Operating your HDTV close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or electric

shock.

Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To

ensure reliable operation of your HDTV and to protect it from overheating, be sure these

openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your HDTV in a bookcase or cabinet

unless proper ventilation is provided.

Never push any object into the slots and openings on your HDTV cabinet. Do not place

any objects on the top of your HDTV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or

electric shock. Never spill liquids on your HDTV.

Your HDTV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label.

If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or

local power company.

Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your HDTV. This may compromise the integrity

of the display. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover user abuse or improper

installations.

The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage specified.

For more information, contact your dealer.

Your HDTV is equipped with an AC power cord. This plug will fit only into a grounded

power outlet. This is a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-

pronged, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground your

HDTV safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.

When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your HDTV. To totally

disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral

triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated,

dangerous voltage within the inside of your HDTV

that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a

risk of electric shock to persons.

The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the

user to the presence of important operating and servicing instructions in

the literature accompanying your HDTV.

Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or

electric shock.

The wall socket should be installed near your HDTV and easily accessible.

Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your HDTV. Any other voltage than the

specified voltage may cause fire or electric shock

Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric shock, avoid handling the

power cord during electrical storms.

Unplug your HDTV during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long period of

time. This will protect your HDTV from damage due to power surges.

Do not attempt to repair or service your HDTV yourself. Opening or removing the back

cover may expose you to high voltages, electric shock, and other hazards. If repair is

required, contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

Keep your HDTV away from moisture. Do not expose your HDTV to rain or moisture. If

water penetrates into your HDTV, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer.

Continuous use in this case may result in fire or electric shock.

Do not use your HDTV if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes

apparent, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not try to repair

your HDTV yourself.

Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your HDTV is dropped and the housing is

damaged, the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug the power cord

immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of your HDTV may cause

fire or electric shock.

Do not install your HDTV in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating your

HDTV in environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause fire or electric shock.

Follow instructions for moving your HDTV. Ensure that the power cord and any other

cables are unplugged before moving your HDTV.

When unplugging your HDTV, hold the AC power plug, not the cord. Pulling on the power

cord may damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or electric shock. When your

HDTV will not be used for an extended period of time, unplug the power cord.

To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.

Insert batteries in accordance with instructions. Incorrect polarities may cause the

batteries to leak which can damage the remote control or injure the operator.

Television Antenna Connection Protection

External Television Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna/satellite dish or cable system is to be connected to the TV, make sure that

the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage

surges and static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to

proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an

antenna discharge unit, size of the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit,

connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.

Lightning Protection

For added protection of the TV during a lightning

storm or when it is left unattended or unused for

long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall

outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.

Power Lines

Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or

power circuits, or where it could fall into such

power lines or circuits.

Remember, the screen of the coaxial cable is intended to be connected to earth in the

building installation.

Advisory of the DTV Transition

The nationwide switch to digital television broadcasting will be complete on June 12, 2009, but

your local television stations may switch sooner. After the switch, analog-only television sets that

receive TV programming through an antenna will need a converter box to continue to receive

over-the-air TV. Watch your local stations to find out when they will turn off their analog

signal and switch to digital-only broadcasting. Analog-only TVs should continue to work as

before to receive low power, Class A or translator television stations and with cable and

satellite TV services, gaming consoles, VCRs, DVD players, and similar products.
