Note to CATV System Installer
This reminder is provided to direct the CATV system installer’s
attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that 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.
Secure Ventilation
Slots and openings in the cabinet and the back or bottom are provided for
ventilation, and to ensure reliable operation of the LCD TV and to protect it
from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. There
should be at least 10 cm of space around the TV. The openings should
never be blocked by placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar
surface. This LCD TV should not be placed in a built-in installation such as
a bookcase unless proper ventilation is provided.
Important Safety Instructions
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with dry cloth.
7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves or other apparatus (including ampliers) that
produce heat.
9) 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 t into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly
at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the apparatus.
11) Only use attachments / accessories specied by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table
specied by the manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus.
When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart /
apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for
long periods of time.
14) Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus 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 apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
15) Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the
marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to
your home consult your television dealer or local power company.
16) Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the LCD TV.
17) Never push objects of any kind into this LCD TV through cabinet
slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out
parts that could result in a re or electric shock. Never spill liquid
of any kind on the LCD TV.
18) 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.
In the U.S. Section 810-21 of the National Electrical Code
provides information with respect 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.

An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines, other electric light, 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.

qualied service personnel under the following conditions:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD TV.
c. If the LCD TV has been exposed to rain or water.
d.
If the LCD TV does not operate normally by following the
operating instructions.
Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by
a qualied technician to restore the LCD TV to normal
operation.
e. If the LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been
damaged.
f. When the LCD TV exhibits a distinct change in performance
- this indicates a need for service.
21) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service
technician uses replacement parts specied by the manufacturer
that have the same characteristics as the original parts.
Unauthorized substitutions may result in re, electric shock, or
other hazards.
22) WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC
SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO RAIN,
MOISTURE, DRIPPING OR SPLASHING. DO NOT PLACE

zAlways be sure to ask a qualified technician to carry out set up.
Incorrect fitting may cause equipment to fall, resulting in injury
and product damage. Any damage resulting from not having a
professional installer mount your unit will void your warranty.
zDo not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as
spotlights, floodlights or halogen lights) which typically give off
high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.
zTake care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always ensure
that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before
hanging bracket.
zWhen using an angled-type wall hanging bracket, please ensure
that there is sufficient space for the connecting cables so that
they do not press against the wall when the TV is tilted forward.
zFor safety reasons, remove units no longer being used from
their wall-mounted locations.

CHILD SAFETY:

It Makes A Difference How and Where

You Use Your Flat Panel Display
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new
product, please keep these safety tips in mind:
THE ISSUE
The home theater entertainment
experience is a growing trend
and larger flat panel displays
are popular purchases.
However, flat panel displays
are not always supported on
the proper stands or installed
according to the manufacturer’s
recommendations.
Flat panel displays that are improperly situated on
dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests
or carts may fall over and cause injury.
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!
The consumer electronics industry is committed to
making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TUNE INTO SAFETY
One size does NOT fit all.
Follow the manufacturer’s
recommendations for the safe
installation and use of your flat
panel display.
Carefully read and understand
all enclosed instructions for
proper use of this product.
Don’t allow children to climb on
or play with furniture and television sets.
Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily
be used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
Remember that children can become excited while
watching a program, especially on a “larger than life” flat
panel display. Care should be taken to place or install
the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or
knocked down.
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables
connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.

WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT

YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
Use a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory
(such as UL, CSA, ETL).
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and mount
manufacturers.
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely
install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about
professional installation.
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the
display is appropriate.
Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to
walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If
you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat
panel displays can be heavy.
The American Academy of
Pediatrics discourages media
viewing for children younger
than 2 years. For more details,
see www.aap.org

community due to Environmental considerations.
