y Do not stick metal objects or any other 
conductive material into the power cord. Do 
not touch the end of the power cord while it 
is plugged in.  
y Keep the packing anti-moisture material or 
vinyl packing out of the reach of children. 
Anti-moisture material is harmful if 
swallowed. If swallowed by mistake, force 
the patient to vomit and visit the nearest 
hospital. Additionally, vinyl packing can 
cause suffocation. Keep it out of the reach of 
children.
 
y CAUTION concerning the Power Cord  
(Can differ by country):  
It is recommended that appliances be 
placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a 
single outlet circuit which powers only that 
appliance and has no additional outlets or 
branch circuits. Check the specification page 
of this owner’s manual to be certain. Do not 
connect too many appliances to the same 
AC power outlet as this could result in fire or 
electric shock. Do not overload wall outlets. 
Overloaded wall outlets, loose or damaged 
wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power 
cords, or damaged or cracked wire insulation 
are dangerous. Any of these conditions could 
result in electric shock or fire. Periodically 
examine the cord of your appliance, and 
if its appearance indicates damage or 
deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of 
the appliance, and have the cord replaced 
with an exact replacement part by an 
authorized service. Protect the power cord 
from physical or mechanical abuse, such as 
being twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a 
door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention 
to plugs, wall outlets, and the point where 
the cord exits the appliance. Do not move 
the TV with the power cord plugged in. Do 
not use a damaged or loose power cord. Be 
sure do grasp the plug when unplugging the 
power cord. Do not pull on the power cord 
to unplug the TV.

y Grounding
(Except for devices which are not grounded.) 
Ensure that you connect the earth ground 
wire to prevent possible electric shock 
(i.e. a TV with a three-prong grounded AC 
plug must be connected to a three-prong 
grounded AC outlet). If grounding methods 
are not possible, have a qualified electrician 
install a separate circuit breaker. Do not try to 
ground the unit by connecting it to telephone 
wires, lightening rods, or gas pipes.

y ANTENNAS Outdoor antenna grounding  
(Can differ by country): 
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow 
the precautions below. An outdoor antenna 
system should not be located in the vicinity 
of overhead power lines or other electric light 
or power circuits, or where it can come in 
contact with such power lines or circuits as 
death or serious injury can occur. Be sure the 
antenna system is grounded so as to provide 
some protection against voltage surges 
and built-up static charges. Section 810 of 
the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the 
U.S.A. provides information with respect to 
proper grounding of the mast and supporting 
structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to 
an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding 
conductors, location of antenna discharge 
unit, connection to grounding electrodes and 
requirements for the grounding electrode.

5IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 
y Cleaning  
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and 
wipe gently with a soft cloth to prevent 
scratching. Do not spray water or other 
liquids directly on the TV as electric shock 
may occur. Do not clean with chemicals 
such as alcohol, thinners or benzine.
 
y Moving  
Make sure the product is turned off, 
unplugged and all cables have been 
removed. It may take 2 or more people to 
carry larger TVs. Do not press or put stress 
on the front panel of the TV.
 
y Ventilation  
Install your TV where there is proper 
ventilation. Do not install in a confined 
space such as a bookcase. Do not cover the 
product with cloth or other materials while 
plugged. Do not install in excessively dusty 
places.
 
y If you smell smoke or other odors coming 
from the TV, unplug the power cord and 
contact an authorized service center.
 
y Do not press strongly upon the panel with a 
hand or a sharp object such as a nail, pencil 
or pen, or make a scratch on it.
 
y Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
Short-circuit

y Never touch this apparatus or antenna during 
a thunder or lightning storm.
 
y When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure 
not to install the TV by hanging the power 
and signal cables on the back of the TV.
 
y Do not allow an impact shock or any objects 
to fall into the product, and do not drop 
anything onto the screen.  
y Dot Defect  
The Plasma or LCD panel is a high 
technology product with resolution of two 
million to six million pixels. In a very few 
cases, you could see fine dots on the screen 
while you’re viewing the TV. Those dots 
are deactivated pixels and do not affect the 
performance and reliability of the TV.
 
y Generated Sound
“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that 
occurs when watching or turning off the TV 
is generated by plastic thermal contraction 
due to temperature and humidity. This noise 
is common for products where thermal 
deformation is required.  
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A 
low level noise is generated from a high-
speed switching circuit, which supplies a 
large amount of current to operate a product. 
It varies depending on the product. 
This generated sound does not affect the 
performance and reliability of the product.
 
y Take care not to touch the ventilation 
openings. When watching the TV for a long 
period, the ventilation openings may become 
hot. This does not affect the performance of 
the product or cause defects in the product.
 
y If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may 
be a small “flicker” when it is turned on. This 
is normal, there is nothing wrong with TV. 
Some minute dot defects may be visible on 
the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or 
blue spots. However, they have no adverse 
effect on the TV’s performance. Avoid 
touching the LCD screen or holding your 
finger(s) against it for long periods of time. 
Doing so may produce some temporary 
distortion effects on the screen.

8IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
 CAUTION
Viewing Environment 
y Viewing Distance
- Maintain a distance of at least twice the screen diagonal length when \
watching 3D contents. If you 
feel discomfort in viewing 3D contents, move further away from the TV.
Viewing Age  
y Infants / Children
- Usage/ Viewing 3D contents for children under the age of 5 are prohibi\
ted.
- Children under the age of 10 may overreact and become overly excited b\
ecause their vision is in 
development (for example: trying to touch the screen or trying to jump \
into it. Special monitoring and 
extra attention is required for children watching 3D contents.
- Children have greater binocular disparity of 3D presentations than adu\
lts because the distance  between the eyes is shorter than one of adults. Therefore they will perc\
eive more stereoscopic depth 
compared to adults for the same 3D image.
 
y Teenagers
- Teenagers under the age of 19 may be stimulated to light coming from 3\
D videos. Advise them not to 
watch 3D videos for a long time when they are tired.
 
y Elderly
- The elderly may perceive less of a 3D effect than the youth. Do not si\
t closer to the TV than the 
recommended distance.
