The Exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (Servicing instructions in the literature accompanying the product).

Federal Communication Commission Information (FCC)

This Equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a TV Broadcast Receiver, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. If this equipment does cause or receive interference, which can be determined by turning equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the TV antenna
Increase the separation between TV and other equipment.
Connect TV into separate outlet from equipment.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment

Important Safety Cautions

When any unusual situation occurs, turn off the power supply at once and remove the plug from the wall outlet. Contact a qualified service department in your local area.

Do not expose this unit to rain or spattering liquids. Do not use this product near water - for example, near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like. Do not use 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.

Heat sources-Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat generating products (including amplifiers). Requirement of environment temperature: 0°C\~50 C for storage; 5 C\~40 C for working

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 product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions are followed.

Unplug this product from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

Do not place the product on an unstable trolley, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a trolley, stand, tripod, and bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product.

Important Safety Cautions

When relocating the product placed on a trolley, it must be moved with the utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surfaces can cause the product to fall from the trolley.

The power cords must be routed properly to prevent people from stepping on them or objects from resting on them. Check the cords at the plugs and product. Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or snagged by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at doors, plugs, receptacles, and the point where they exit from the product. If the power cord or the plug is damaged contact a qualified service department for service.

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.

High Voltage exists in this TV set. Do not remove the cover.

In case the product 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.

The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impacted upon by other objects. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD panel breaks.

Don't try to push anything into the cabinet or place any vessel with water on the TV set.

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.

Important Information Regarding use of Video Games, Computer, captions or other fixed images displays

The extended use of a fixed image program material can cause permanent “Shadow Image” on the LCD panel. This image is visible during normal programs as stationary fixed images. This type of irreversible LCD panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:

* Reduce the Brightness and Contrast settings to a minimum viewing level
* DO NOT display the fixed image for extended periods of time
* Turn the power OFF when not in actual use

Antenna connections

OUTDOOR VHF/UHF ANTENNA CONNECTION (ANTENNA NOT INCLUDED)

Follow the instructions for the type of antenna system you intend to use. If using Cable or satellite, see the next page.

Combination VHF/UHF

Antenna (Single 75 Ohm cable Antenna (Separate VHF and or 300 Ohm twin-lead wire) UHF 300 Ohm twin-leads)

Connect the 75 Ohm cable from combination VHF/UHF antenna to the antenna jack.

OR

If your combination antenna has a 300 Ohm twin-lead wire, use a 300-75 Ohm matching transformer (NOT SUPPLIED).

Combination VHF/UHF

Antenna (Separate VHF and UHF 300 Ohm twin-leads)

Connect the UHF twin-lead wire to a combiner (NOT SUPPLIED). Connect the VHF twin-lead to a 300-75 Ohm matching transformer (NOT SUPPLIED). Attach the transformer to the combiner. Attach the combiner to the antenna jack.

Connect the 75 Ohm cable from the VHF antenna and the UHF antenna twin-lead wire to a combiner (NOT SUPPLIED). Attach the combiner to the antenna jack.

NOTE: If your VHF antenna has a twin-lead wire use a 300-75 Ohm matching transformer, then connect the transformer to the combiner.

Cable (CATV)/satellite connections

This TV has an extended tuning range and can tune most cable channels without using a Cable TV converter box. Some Cable TV companies offer "premium pay channels" in which the signal is scrambled. Descrambling these signals for normal viewing requires the use of a descrambler device which is generally provided by the cable company.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE

For basic cable service not requiring a converter/descrambler box, connect the CATV 75 ohm coaxial cable to the VHF/UHF jack on the rear of the TV.

Diagram showing a connector with threaded body and cable, no text or symbols present

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO SCRAMBLED CABLE TV SERVICE OR SATELLITE

If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service which requires the use of a converter/descrambler box, connect the incoming 75 Ohm coaxial cable to the converter/descrambler box. Using another 75 Ohm cable, connect the output of the converter/descrambler or satellite box to the antenna jack on the TV. Follow the connections shown below. Set the TV/VCR to the output channel of the converter/descrambler or satellite box (usually 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler or satellite box to select channels.

FOR SUBSCRIBERS TO UNSCRAMBLED BASIC CABLE TV SERVICE WITH SCRAMBLED PREMIUM CHANNELS

If you subscribe to a satellite service or a cable TV service in which basic channels are unscrambled and premium channels require the use of a converter/descrambler box, you may wish to use a signal splitter and an A/B switch box (available from the cable company or an electronic supply store). Follow the connections shown below. With the switch in the "B" position, you can directly tune any nonscrambled channels on your TV. With the switch in the "A" position, tune your TV to the output of the converter/descrambler box (usually channel 3 or 4) and use the converter/descrambler box to tune
