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

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
yy 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.
yyGenerated 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.
yyTake 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.
yyViewing 3D Imaging (For 3D TV)
-  If you watch the 3D imaging too closely or 
for a long period of time, it may harm your 
eyesight.
-  Watching the TV or playing video games 
that incorporate 3D imaging with the 3D 
glasses for a long period of time can cause 
drowsiness, headaches or fatigue to you 
and/or your eyes. If you have a headache, 
or otherwise feel fatigued or drowsy, stop 
watching the TV and take a rest.
-  Pregnant woman, seniors, persons with 
heart problems or persons who experience 
frequent drowsiness should refrain from 
watching 3D TV.
-  Some 3D imaging may cause you to duck 
or dodge the image displayed in the video. 
Therefore, it is best if you do not watch 3D 
TV near fragile objects or near any objects 
that can be knocked over easily.
-  Please prevent children under the age of 
5 from watching 3D TV. It may affect their 
vision development. 
-  Warning for photosensitization seizure: Some 
viewers may experience a seizure or epilepsy 
when exposed to certain factors, including 
flashing lights or images in TV or video 
games. If you or anybody from your family 
has a history of epilepsy or seizure, please 
consult with your doctor before watching 3D 
TV.
   Also certain symptoms can occur in 
unspecified conditions without any previous 
history. If you experience any of the following 
symptoms, immediately stop watching the 
3D imaging and consult a doctor: dizziness or 
lightheadedness, visual transition or altered 
vision, visual or facial instability, such as eye 
or muscle twitching, unconscious action, 
convulsion, loss of conscience, confusion 
or disorientation, loss of directional sense, 
cramps, or nausea.  Parents should monitor 
their children, including teenagers, for these 
symptoms as they may be more sensitive to 
the effects of watching 3D TV.
   Risk of photosensitization seizure can be 
reduced with the following actions.
- Take frequent breaks from watching 3D TV.
-  For those who have  vision that is different 
in each eye,  they should watch the TV after 
taking vision correction measures.
-  Watch the TV so that your eyes are on the 
same level as the 3D screen and refrain from 
sitting too closely to the TV.
-  Do not watch the 3D imaging when tired or 
sick, and avoid watching the 3D imaging for a 
long period of time.
-  Do not wear the 3D glasses for any other 
purpose than viewing 3D imaging on a 3D TV.
-  Some viewers may feel disoriented after 
watching 3D TV. Therefore, after you watch 
3D TV, take a moment to regain awareness 
of your situation before moving.
