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.
19) 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.
20) Unplug this LCD TV from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified 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 qualified 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 specified by
the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized substitutions may
result in fire, 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 LIQUID CONTAINERS (FLOWER VASES, CUPS, COSMETICS, ETC.)
ABOVE THE SET (INCLUDING ON SHELVES ABOVE, ETC.).
23) WARNING: SMALL PARTS CAN PRESENT CHOKING HAZARD IF ACCIDENTALLY SWALLOWED.
KEEP SMALL PARTS AWAY FROM YOUNG CHILDREN.
DISCARD UNNEEDED SMALL PARTS AND OTHER OBJECTS, INCLUDING PACKAGING
MATERIALS AND PLASTIC BAGS/SHEETS TO PREVENT THEM FROM BEING PLAYED
WITH BY YOUNG CHILDREN, CREATING THE POTENTIAL RISK OF SUFFOCATION.
24) WARNING: To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other open flames away from
this product at all times.
25) WARNING:
Do not place this TV in any medical institutions or locations with medical devices.
Radio waves from this TV may interfere with the medical devices and cause
accidents due to the malfunction.
26) WARNING:
Do not use this TV near any automatic control devices such as automatic doors or fire alarms.
Radio waves from this TV may interfere with the automatic control devices and cause
accidents due to the malfunction.
27) WARNING: Keep this TV away at least 9 inches (22 cm) from the location where a cardiac
pacemaker is implanted.
Radio waves from this TV may interfere with the operation of the pacemaker.
28) CAUTION: The Power switch on this unit will not completely shut off all power from AC outlet. Since the
power cord serves as the main disconnect device for the unit, you will need to unplug it from
the AC outlet to shut down all power.
Therefore, make sure the unit has been installed so that the power cord can be easily
unplugged from AC outlet in case of an accident. To avoid fire hazard, the power cord should
also be unplugged from the AC outlet when left unused for a long period of time (for example,
when on vacation).
29) CAUTION:
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER
OUTLET UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
30) CAUTION: USE WITH OTHER STAND MAY RESULT IN INSTABILITY POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY.
31) CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY
WITH THE SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
