Installation

Follow these recommendations and precautions and heed all
warnings when installing your TV:
17) Never modify this equipment. Changes or modifications
may void: a) the warranty, and b) the user's authority to
operate this equipment under the rules of the Federal
Communications Commission.
18)
19) Never place or store the TV in direct sunlight; hot, humid
areas; or areas subject to excessive dust or vibration.
20) Always place
the TV on the
floor or a sturdy,
level, stable
surface that can
support the
weight of the
unit. To secure
the TV, use a
sturdy tie from the hooks on the rear of the TV pedestal
to a wall, pillar, or other immovable structure. Make sure
the tie is tight, secure, and parallel to the floor. Leave a
space of at least 4 inches around the TV.
Make sure the surface is wide enough so that the TV’s
width and depth don’t exceed the surface’s edges.
If not, the TV may lean or fall over and cause an injury.
21) Never expose the apparatus to dripping or splashing
liquid or place items such as vases, aquariums, any
other item filled with liquid, or candles on top of the TV.
22) Never block or cover the
slots or openings in the TV
cabinet back, bottom, and
sides.
Never place the TV:
• on a bed, sofa, rug, or
similar surface;
• too close to drapes,
curtains, or walls; or
• in a confined space such as a bookcase, built-in
cabinet, or any other place with poor ventilation.
The slots and openings are provided to protect the TV
from overheating and to help maintain reliable operation
of the TV.
23) Never allow anything to rest on or roll over the power
cord, and never place the TV where the power cord is
subject to wear or abuse.
24) Never overload wall outlets and extension cords.
25) Always operate the TV with a 120 V
AC, 60Hz power source only.
26) Always make sure the antenna system is properly
grounded to provide adequate protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges (see Section 810 of
the National Electric Code).
27) DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH!
• Use extreme care to make sure you
are never in a position where your
body (or any item you are in contact
with, such as a ladder or
screwdriver) can accidentally touch
overhead power lines. Never locate
the antenna near overhead power
lines or other electrical circuits.
• Never attempt to install any of the following during
lightning activity:
a) an antenna system; or b) cables, wires, or any home
theater component connected to an antenna or phone
system.

TV, follow these recommendations and precautions:
28) If you use the TV in a room whose temperature is 32 °F
(0°C) or below, the picture brightness may vary until the
LCD warms up. This is not a sign of malfunction.
DANGER: RISK OF SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY, DEATH, OR EQUIPMENT
DAMAGE! Never place the TV on
an unstable cart, stand, or table.
The TV may fall, causing serious personal
injury, death, or serious damage to the TV.
