Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of improper attachments can result in accidents. 12 Stand—Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the television. Do not place the television on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table. Placing the television on an unstable base can cause the television to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the television. When mounting the television on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer. 13 Move carefully—When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/ television combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surfaces can cause the television to fall from the cart. Never attempt to move the television unless the AC power cord has been disconnected. 14 If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your television, make sure that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard 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. p. 46

• Use No. 10AWG (5.3 mm

) copper, No. 8AWG (8.4 mm

) aluminum, No. 17AWG (1.0 mm

) copper-clad steel or bronze wire, or larger, as a ground wire.

• Secure the antenna lead-in and ground wires to the house with stand-off insulators spaced from 4-6 feet (1.22-1.83 meter) apart.

• Mount the antenna discharge unit as close as possible to where the lead-in enters the house.

• Use a jumper wire not smaller than No. 6AWG (13.3 mm

) copper, or the equivalent, when a separate antenna-grounding electrode is used. See ANSI/NFPA70. 15 Lightning—Unplug this television during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges. 16 Servicing—Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the television 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 television, the television has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. 17 Replacement parts—In case the television needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger. 18 Overloading—Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles on other equipment as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. 19 Entering of objects and liquids—Never insert an object into the television through vents or openings. High voltage flows in the television, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the television.

Improper adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.

• If the television has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged in any way.

• When the television displays an abnormal condition or exhibits a distinct change in performance. Any noticeable abnormality in the television indicates that the television needs servicing. 21 Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety checks to ensure that the television is in proper operating condition. 22 Wall or ceiling mounting—When mounting the television on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the television according to the method recommended by the manufacturer. This is a safety feature. 23 Power source—This television is intended to be supplied by a listed power supply indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your home, consult your television dealer or local power company. For added protection for this television during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the cable system. This will prevent damage to the television due to lightning and power line surges. When the television has to be used with another power supply voltage, the power cable must be changed. Consult your television dealer. The socket outlet should be installed near the equipment and easily accessible. Use only the power cord designated by our dealer to ensure safety and EMC. When connecting other televisions such as VCRs and personal computers, you should turn off the power of the television for protection against electric shock. 24 Panel protection—The display panel used in this television is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the television is dropped or impacted upon by other objects. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD panel breaks. 25 Pixel defect—The display panel is a very high technology television, giving you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green, or red. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your television. Note to cable television system installer This reminder is provided to call the cable television system installer’s attention to Section 820 40 of the NEC which 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.
