Important Safety Instructions
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.
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.
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.
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.
Important Safety Instructions for LCD TV
Secure ventilation
Note to CATV System Installer
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.
18) If an outside antenna is connected to the tele vision equipment, 
be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some 
protection against voltage surges and built up static charg es.
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 lo cated 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.) ABOVE THE SET. 
(INCLUDING ON SHELVES ABOVE, ETC.)
23)WARNING :  SMALL PARTS CAN PRESENT CHOKING HAZARD IF ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED. KEEP SMALL 
PARTS AWAY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN. 
DISCARD UNNEEDED SMALL PARTS AND OTHER OBJECTS, INCLUDING PACKAGING MATERIALS 
AND PLASTIC BAGS/SHEETS TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING PLAYED WITH BY YOUNG CHILDREN, 
CREATING THE POTENTIAL RISK OF SUFFOCATION.
24)CAUTION :TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET 
UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EX POSURE.
25)CAUTION : USE WITH OTHER STAND MAY RESULT IN INSTABILITY POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY.
26)CAUTION :DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME 
OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
