IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued from previous page)
22.Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits or where it can come into contact with such power lines or circuits as death or serious injury can occur.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. provides information with respect to proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the

23.Cleaning
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and wipe gently with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do not spray water or other liquids directly on the TV as electric shock may occur. Do not clean with chemicals such as alcohol, thinners or benzene.
24.Transporting Product
Make sure the TV is turned Off and unplugged and that all cables have been removed. It may take two or more people to carry larger TVs. Do not press against or put stress on the front panel of the TV during transport.
25.Ventilation
Install the TV where there is proper ventilation. Do not install in a confined space such as a bookcase. Do not cover the TV with cloth or other materials (e.g., plastic) while it is plugged in. Do not install in excessively dusty places.
26.Do not touch the ventilation openings, as they may become hot while the TV is operating.
27.If you smell smoke or other odors coming from the TV or hear strange sounds, unplug the power cord, and contact an authorized service center.
28.Do not press against the front panel of the TV with your hand or a sharp object (e.g., a nail, pencil, or pen) or make a scratch on it.
29.Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
30.Dot Defect
The LCD panel is a high technology product with resolution of two million to six million pixels. In a very few cases, you could see fine dots on the screen while you are viewing the TV. Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the performance and reliability of the TV.
31.Generated Sound
“Cracking”: A cracking noise that occurs while the TV is On or when it is turned Off is generated by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and humidity. This noise is common for products where thermal deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A low level noise is generated from a
32.For LCD TV
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker” when it is turned On. This is normal; there is nothing wrong with the TV. Some minute dot defects may be visible on the screen, appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots. However, they have no adverse effect on the TV’s performance. Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing so may produce some temporary distortion effects on the screen.
