When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/appara - tus combination to avoid injury from tip-over. 9Unplug this apparatus during lighting storms or when unused for long periods of time. 10 Refer all servicing to qualified service per - sonnel. Servicing is required when the appa - ratus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not oper - ate normally, or has been dropped. 11Never touch this apparatus or antenna dur - ing a thunder or lighting storm. 12When mounting a TV on the wall, make sure not to install the TV by the hanging power and signal cables on the back of the TV. 13Do not allow an impact shock or any objects to fall into the product, and do not drop onto the screen with something. 14CAUTION concerning the Power Cord: It is recommend that appliances be placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is, a single outlet circuit which powers only that appli - ance and has no additional outlets or branch circuits. Check the specification page of this owner's manual to be certain. Do n ot 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 deteriora- tion, unplug it, discontinue use of the appli - ance, and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer. Protect the power cord from phys - ical 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 make 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.

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. Power Supply Short-circuit Breaker 18DISCONNECTING DEVICE FROM MAINS Mains plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain readily operable. 19As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall outlet, it is not disconnected from the AC power source even if you turn off this unit by SWITCH. 20Cleaning When cleaning, unplug the power cord and scrub 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 benzene. 21Moving 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 against or put stress on the front panel of the TV. 22 ANTENNAS Outdoor antenna grounding If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An outdoor antenna sys - tem 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 volt - age 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. Antenna grounding according to the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 Antenna Lead in Wire Antenna Discharge Unit (NEC Section 810-20) Grounding Conductor (NEC Section 810-21) Ground Clamps Power Service Grounding Electrode System (NEC Art 250, Part H)Ground Clamp Electric Service Equipment NEC: National Electrical Code 23Ventilation Install your TV where there is proper ventila - tion. Do not install in a confined space such as a bookcase. Do not cover the product with cloth or other materials (e.g.) plastic while plugged in.

5 28Dot Defect The Plasma or LCD panel is a high technol- ogy 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’reviewing the TV. Those dots are deacti- vated pixels and do not affect the perfor- mance and reliability of the TV. 29Generated Sound “Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is gener - ated by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and humidity. This noise is com - mon 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. 30For LED LCD TV/LCD TV 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 monitor’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 dis - tortion effects on the screen. 31Viewing 3D Imaging (For 3D TV) ►When viewing 3D imaging, watch the TV from an effective viewing angle and within the appropriate distance.
