Important safeguards

Electrical energy can perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property damage if improperly handled. This television has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety. But improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazard. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe the following instructions when installing, operating, and cleaning the television. To ensure your safety and prolong the service life of your television, read the following precautions carefully before using the product.

1 Read these instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.
2 Keep these instructions—These safety and operating instructions must be kept in a safe place for future reference.
3 Heed all warnings—All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.
4 Follow all instructions—All operating instructions must be followed.
5 Do not use this television near water-for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool. Do not use this television immediately after moving from a low temperature to high temperature environment, as this causes condensation, which may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.
6 Clean only with dry cloth—Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
7 Ventilation—Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer instructions. The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the television. Do not place the television on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This television is not designed for a built-in installation. Do not place the television in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions are followed.
8 Heat sources—Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
9 Grounding or Polarization—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 Power cord protection-Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the television.

11 Attachments—Only use attachments/ accessories specified by the manufacturer. 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.

3 Ground clamp

4 Grounding conductors (NEC Section 810-21)

Reference Grounding component

5 Antenna discharge unit (NEC Section 810-20)

6 Ground clamp

7 Antenna lead-in wire

• Use No. 10AWG (5.3 mm²) copper, No. 8AWG (8.4 mm²) aluminum, No. 17AWG (1.0 mm²) 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 mm²) 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.

20 Damage requiring service—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and request a qualified service person to perform repairs.
- When the power cord or plug is damaged.
- When a liquid is spilled on the television or when objects have fallen into the television.
- When the television has been exposed to rain or water.
- When the television does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions. Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. 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.

Maintaining

About temperature

• Do not use the television in hot and cold rooms (locations).
• When the television is used in rooms (locations) with low temperature, the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction and the television will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
• Do not leave the television in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the television in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the screen to malfunction.
  Storage temperature: 32 to 122^ (0 to 50^ )
• Working temperature: 41 to 104^ F( 5to40^ C)

About After-Image

The extended use of a fixed image program can cause a permanent after-image (also known as burn-in) on the screen. This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This irreversible screen damage can be limited by doing the following:

• Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
• Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
• Turn the power to the television off when not in actual use.

Caution

• Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an extended period, as this can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen.
  Examples of still pictures include logos, video games, computer Images, teletext, and images displayed in 4:3 mode.
  The permanent after-image on the screen resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the warranty.
  This television is not designed to display fixed images for extended periods of time.
