DIGITAL TELEVISION TRANSITION NOTICE

DIGITAL TELEVISION TRANSITION NOTICE
This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air
TV programming, with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV
broadcasting in the United States on June 12, 2009. 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.
For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) or see
www.DTV.gov. For information on the TV Converter program, and on government
coupons that may be used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call
the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009.
AVISO RELATIVO A LA TRANSICIÓN A TELEVISIÓN
DIGITAL
Este equipo incorpora un sintonizador de televisión digital, lo que le permitirá recibir
una programación digital televisada por aire, con una antena adecuada, cuando se
terminará la transmisión de alta potencia de la televisión analógica en los Estados
Unidos el 12 de Junio de 2009. Ciertos receptores de televisión antiguos, si
dependen de una antena de TV, necesitarán un conversor de TV para recibir por el
aire una programación digital, pero seguirán funcionando como antes para otros
usos (por ejemplo para ver emisoras de TV de baja potencia que todavía transmiten
en analógico, para ver películas pregrabadas, o para utilizar sus videojuegos).
Para obtener más información, llame FCC 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) o
refiérase a www.DTV.gov. Para toda información sobre el programa de conversores
de TV, y acerca de los cupones del gobierno que se pueden usar para comprarlos,
refiérase a www.dtv2009.gov, o llame al NTIA al 1-888-DTV-2009.

The lightning flash with arrowhead inside an equilateral
triangle symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence
of uninsulated dangerous voltage within the product's
enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock.
The exclamation inside an equilateral triangle symbol is intended to
alert the user to related operating and maintenance instructions in
the user documentation accompanying the product.
WARNING!
This device must be operated with the original power supply.

CAUTION:
The power supply outlet should be located near the LCD TV and should be easily
accessible.
Always use the appropriate AC cord that is certified for your specific country.

NOTICES
Important Notices Concerning Power Cord Selection
The specific power cord for this LCD TV is enclosed and has been selected
according to the country of destination. Use the enclosed power cord to prevent
electric shock. Observe the following guidelines if it is necessary to replace the
original cord set, or if there is no cord set enclosed. The female receptacle of the
cord set must meet IEC-60320 requirements and should look like Figure A1 below:
Figure A1 Figure A2
For the United States and Canada
In the United States and Canada the male plug is a NEMA5-15 style (Figure A2),
UL-listed, and CSA-labeled. For LCD TVs that are to be placed on a desk or table,
type SVT or SJT cord sets may be used. For LCD TVs that are to be placed directly
on the floor, only SJT type cord sets may be used. The cord set must be selected
according to the current rating for the LCD TV. Consult the table below for the
selection criteria of power cords used in the United States and Canada.

FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and may cause
harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the distance between the LCD TV and the receiver.
• Connect the LCD TV to an outlet on a circuit separate from to which the
receiver is connected.
• if the interference persists even after performing the above measures,
consult the Westinghouse Service Center or an experienced radio/TV
technician for assistance.
FCC Warning
To assure continued FCC compliance, use a grounded power supply cord and the
provided shielded video interface cable with bonded ferrite cores. If a BNC cable is
used, use only a shielded BNC (5) cable. Also, any unauthorized changes or
modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer will void the user's
authority to operate this device.

Circuit Overload
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or power strips. This can result in a fire
or electronic shock.
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. Periodically inspect the cords for
damage. Install the LCD TV near a wall socket outlet where the power cord can be
readily accessed.
Ventilation
The slots and openings on the cabinet are provided for necessary ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of the LCD TV and to protect it from overheating, these
slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.
Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.
Do not block the openings by placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa,
rug or other similar surface.
Do not place the LCD TV in a built-in installation such as a
bookcase or a rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the
manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
Safety: Lamp Disposal
Lamp(s) inside this product contain mercury and must be recycled or disposed of
according to local, state or federal laws. For more information, contact the electronic
