(America only)

EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

NEC---NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE

■ 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 collide with 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.

Using the Remote Control

■ Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window of the set. Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper operation.
Note: the illustration is for your reference only, the remote sensor may locate differently with different model.

Cautions regarding use of remote control

■ Do not expose the remote control to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.
■ Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.
■ The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the main unit is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such a case, change the angle of the lighting or PDP TV set, or operate the remote control closer to the remote sensor window.

Batteries for the Remote Control

If the remote control fails to operate the PDP TV functions, replace the batteries in the remote control.

1 Open the battery cover.

2 Insert two size-AAA batteries.

3 Replace the cover and slide in reverse until the lock snaps.

Illustration of a hand holding a coiled spring and a rectangular object with an arrow indicating rotation (no text or symbols)

■(Slide the cover while pressing down.)

■ (Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (-) indications in the battery compartment.)

Precautions on battery use

Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

■ Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (-) indications.
■ Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.
■ Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old batteries to leak chemicals.

■ Remove batteries as soon as they are non-operable. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe with a cloth.

■ The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

■ If the remote control is not used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.

Antenna Connection

INSTALL the unit in a room where direct light will not fall upon the screen. Total darkness or a reflection on the picture screen may cause eyestrain. Soft and indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing.

Optimum reception of colour requires a good signal and will generally mean that an outdoor aerial must be used. The exact type and position of the aerial will depend upon your particular area.

Note:

It is recommended that the 75-ohm coaxial cable be used to eliminate interference and noise which may occur due to radio wave conditions.

The aerial cable should not be bundled with the power cord and the like.
