INSTRUCTIONS  IN  THE  OWNER’S  MANUAL  WITH 
THIS UNIT.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS 
APPLIANCE TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS1. Read these instructions.
2. Keep these instructions.
3. He

ed all warnings.
4.
 Fo

llow all instructions.
5.
 Do

 not use this apparatus near water.
6.
 Cl

ean only with a 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, 
h eat 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 at the point where they exit from 
the apparatus.
11. Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the 
m anufacturer.
12.
 Us

e 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/
appliance combination to avoid injury 
from tip-over.
13.
 Un

plug this apparatus during lightning 
storms or when unused for long periods of time.
14.
 Re

fer all servicing to qualified service personnel. 
Servicing is required when the appliance has been 
damaged in any way, such as when a power-supply 
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or 
objects have fallen into apparatus, the apparatus has 
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate 
normally or has been dropped.
15. If an outside antenna is connected to the television 
e quipment, 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 electrodes. 
16. An outside antenna system should not be located in the 
vicinity of overhead power lines or other electrical 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.
EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING ACCORDING 
TO NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE, ANSI/NFPA 70
"Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call 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.
17. Wall or Ceiling Mounting - The product should be 
m ounted to a wall or ceiling only as recommended 
by the manufacturer and listed by an independent 
laboratory (such as UL).
18.
 Ap

paratus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing 
and no objects filled with liquides, such as vases, shall 
be placed on the apparatus. 
19.
 Wh

en the MAINS plug is used as the disconnect device, 
the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
20.
 In

stall the LCD TV in a proper position. If not, it may 
result in a fire hazard.
21.
 Pr

ovide appropriate space on the top, sides and rear 
of the LCD TV cabinet for allowing air circulation and 
cooling the LCD TV.
22.
 Mi

nimum clearance must be maintained. If the LCD TV 
is to be built into a compartment or similarly enclosed, 
the minimum distances must be maintained. Do not 
cover the ventilation slot on the LCD TV. Heat build-up 
can reduce the service life of your LCD TV, and can also 
be dangerous.
