This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1)  This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2)  This device must accept any interference received, 
including interference that may cause undesired 
operation.
Note:  This equipment has been tested and found to 
comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursu-
ant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed 
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This equipment gener-
ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if 
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, 
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. 
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 recep-
tion, 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 separation between the equipment and 
the receiver.
-  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.
-  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techni-
cian for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by 
Mitsubishi could cause harmful interference and would 
void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within 
an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the 
user of the presence of uninsulated “danger-
ous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of 
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to 
persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral 
triangle is intended to alert the user to the 
presence of important operating and mainte-
nance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompa-
nying the product.
WARNING:  To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, 
do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
This apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or 
splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as 
vases, shall be placed on the apparatus.
Children and TV Viewing
The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages televi-
sion viewing for children younger than two years of age.
  Custom cabinet installation must allow for proper 
air circulation around the television.
NOTE TO CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER:  THIS REMINDER IS 
PROVIDED TO CALL THE CATV SYSTEM INSTALLER’S ATTEN-
TION TO ARTICLE 820-40 OF THE NEC THAT PROVIDES 
GUIDELINES FOR THE PROPER GROUNDING AND, IN PARTIC-
ULAR, SPECIFIES THAT THE CABLE GROUND SHALL BE CON-
NECTED TO THE GROUNDING SYSTEM OF THE BUILDING, AS 
CLOSE TO THE POINT OF CABLE ENTRY AS PRACTICAL.

  Cl eaning Recommendations
Normally, light dusting with a dry, non-scratching duster 
will keep your TV clean.  If cleaning beyond this is 
needed, please use the following guidelines:
First, turn off the TV and unplug the power cord from 
the power outlet.
Occasionally clean dust build-up from the air-intake 
grilles on the back and sides of the TV.  Clean using a 
vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment.
Top and Sides of the TV 
 Gently wipe down your TV with a soft, non-abrasive 
cloth such as cotton flannel, microfiber, or a clean 
cloth diaper, lightly moistened with water.  Dry with 
a second dry, soft, non-abrasive cloth.
 For oily dirt, add a few drops of mild liquid deter-
gent, such as dishwashing detergent, to the water 
used to moisten the cloth.  Rinse with a second 
cloth moistened only with water.  Dry with a third 
dry, soft, non-abrasive cloth.
Screen
 Follow the instructions for the top and sides, wiping 
gently in an up and down motion.
 Clean the entire screen evenly, not just sections of 
the screen.
 Do not allow liquid to drip down the screen, as 
some liquid may enter the TV through the gap 
between the screen and screen frame.
 You may purchase Mitsubishi Screen Cleaner, part 
number CLEANER-VSS, by calling 1 (800) 553-7278.
General Cleaning Precautions
 DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the 
ventilation slots or any crevice.
 DO NOT use any strong or abrasive cleaners, as 
these can scratch the surfaces.
 DO NOT use any cleaners containing ammonia, 
bleach, alcohol, benzene, or thinners, as these can 
dull the surfaces.
 DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the 
TV’s surfaces.
 DO NOT scrub or rub the TV harshly.  Wipe it gently.
Note:  Features and specifications described in this 
owner’s guide are subject to change without notice.TV Software
 Do not attempt to update the software of this TV 
with software or USB drives not provided by or 
authorized by Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions 
America, Inc.  Non-authorized software may damage 
the TV and will not be covered by the warranty.
 Automatic software updates will be downloaded 
over the internet to the TV if StreamTV is set up and 
connected to the internet.
