Important Safety Instructions
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
The exclamation point within a
triangle is intended to tell the
user that important operating
and servicing instructions are in
the papers with the appliance.

 Note to CATV System Installer: This reminder is provided to direct the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies
that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of
cable entry as practical.

 Important Safety Instructions for LCD TV
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong.
The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold
with the apparatus.  When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart / apparatus
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus 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 operate
normally, or has been dropped.
15) Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the
type of power supplied to your home consult your television dealer or local power company.
16) Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD TV.
17) Never push objects of any kind into this LCD TV through cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous
voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind
on the LCD TV.
The lightning flash with arrow
head within a triangle is intended
to tell the user that parts inside
the product are a risk of electric
shock to persons.

Secure ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for ventilation, and to ensure reliable
operation of the LCD TV and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered.
There should be at least 10 cm of space from these openings. The openings should never be blocked by
placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface. This LCD TV should not be placed in a built-
in installation such as a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.

18) If an outside antenna is connected to the
television
 equipment, be sure the antenna system
is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges and built up static
charges. In the U.S. Section 810-21 of the
National Electrical Code 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.
19) An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an
outside antenna system extreme care should be taken to keep from touching such power lines or circuits
as contact with them might be fatal.
20) Unplug this LCD TV from the wall outlet, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the
following conditions:
a . When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b . If liquid has been spilled into the LCD TV.
c . If the LCD TV has been exposed to rain or water.
d . If the LCD TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of
other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the LCD TV to normal operation.
e . If the LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
 f . When the LCD TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.
21) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
22)WARNING : TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS
APPARATUS TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
DO NOT PLACE LIQUID CONTAINERS  (FLOWER VASES, CUPS, COSMETICS, ETC.)

Receiver Location
Locate at a comfortable distance for viewing. Avoid placing where sunlight or other bright light (including
reflections) will fall on the screen.
Use of some types of fluorescent lighting can reduce remote control transmitter range.
Adequate ventilation is essential to prevent internal component failure. Keep away from areas of excessive
heat or moisture.
Installation
Always be sure to ask a
qualified technician to carry
out set-up. Optional External Equipment
The Video / Audio connection between components can be made with shielded video and audio cables. For
best performance, antenna cables should utilize 75 ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables are available from
your dealer or electronic supply store.
Before you purchase any cables, be sure you know what type of output and input connectors your various
components require. Also determine the length of cable you’ll need.
For optimum quality picture
When the LCD is exposed to light from outdoors or lighting fixtures, high-contrast pictures may not be displayed
clearly. Turn off florescent lamps near the LCD and place in a location not exposed to outdoor light.
