these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
! To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power before
connecting other components to your HDTV.
! Unplug the AC/DC power adapter 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.

! 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.

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.

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.

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

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

For more information, contact your dealer.
! Your HDTV is equipped with an AC/DC power adapter. 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.

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.
