IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as 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.

Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.

Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insuffi cient 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.

The Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the panel breaks.

Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifi ers) that produce heat.

The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 2,073,600 pixels, giving you fi ne picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fi xed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not affect the performance of your product.

Lightning — 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.

Power Lines — 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 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.

To prevent fi re, never place any type of candle or fl ames on the top or near the TV set.

• To prevent fi re or shock hazard, do not place the AC cord under the TV set or other heavy items.

• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.

Do not insert foreign objects into the product. Inserting objects in the air vents or other openings may result in fi re or electric shock. Exercise special caution when using the product around children.

Precautions when transporting the TV

When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding or otherwise putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.

Caring for the Cabinet

Use a soft cloth (cotton, fl annel, etc.) and gently wipe the surface of the cabinet.

Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may deform the components of the main unit cabinet or cause cracking.

Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the cabinet.

If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton, fl annel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water and thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

The cabinet is primarily made of plastic. Avoid using benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as these may deform the cabinet and cause the paint to peel off.

Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids.

Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. Plasticizers inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to deform and cause the paint to peel off.
