■Water and moisture — Do not use this product near water; for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the like.

■Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, 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 cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product.

■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 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.

■The display 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 fireplaces, chimneys, radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

■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 product.

■Cautions regarding use in high- and low-temperature environments:

When the unit is used in low-temperature space (e.g., room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the display panel to malfunction. Storage temperature: –4oF to +140o F (–20oC to +60o C).

■Precautions when transporting the TV — When transporting the TV, be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the Display.

■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.
