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.
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.

 Important Safety Instructions for LCD TV
 
 1) Read these instructions.
All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.
  2) Keep these instructions.
The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.
  3) Heed all warnings.
All warnings on the appliance and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.
  4) Follow all instructions.
All operating and use instructions should be followed.
  5) Do not use this apparatus near water.For example, near a bathtub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a
swimming pool, and the like.
  6) Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
  7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Slots and Openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation and to ensure reliable operation of the
product and to protect it from overheating. The openings should never be blocked by placing the
product on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface.
  8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
This product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper
ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.
  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.
Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the appliance and cart
combination to overturn.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
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) To prevent electric shock, ensure the grounding pin on the AC cord power plug is securely connected.

16) 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. Selection 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.
17) 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.
18) 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.
19) 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 part. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
20) 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.)
21) 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 EXPOSURE.

 Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays.
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent shadow image on the LCD panel.
This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of
irreversible LCD panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
A.   Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
B.   Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C.   Turn the power off when not in actual use.

 
This product utilizes tin-lead solder, and has a fluorescent lamp containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of
these materials may be regulated in your community due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling
information please contact your local authorities, or the Electronics Industries Alliance: 
www.eiae.org.
NOTE: • This equipment is designed to operate in the U.S.A. and other countries where the broadcasting
system and AC house current is exactly the same as in the U.S.A.
• The marking or retained image on the LCD panel resulting from fixed image use is not an operating
defect and as such is not covered by Warranty. This product is not designed to display fixed image
patterns for extended periods of time.

Installation
Receiver Location
Locate for comfortable 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.
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.
How to use the LCD stand
Adjust the stand to your desired angle. The stand angle can be adjusted between 20 ° left to 20 ° right.
Check the accessories before installations.
