IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Outdoor Antenna Grounding - 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.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70,
provides information with regard 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.

• 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. When mounting the product
on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer's instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the
manufacturer.
• 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 Liquid Crystal 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 radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
products (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• The Liquid Crystal panel
is a very high technology product with 2,073,600 pixels, giving you fine picture details.
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.
• 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.
• To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or flames on the
top or near the TV set.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard,
do not place the AC cord under the TV set or other heavy items.
• Do not display a still picture for a long time,
as this could cause an afterimage to remain.
• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this product to dripping or splashing.
No objects filled with liquids, such
as vases, should be placed on the product.
• Do not insert foreign objects into the product. Inserting objects
in the air vents or other openings may
result
in fire or electric shock. Exercise special caution when using the product around children.
Precautions when transporting the TV
• When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding or otherwise putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always
carry the
TV by two people holding it with two hands - one hand on each side of the TV.
Caring for the Cabinet
• Use a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) and gently wipe the surface of the display panel.
Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may deform the components
of the main unit cabinet or cause
cracking.
• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the panel surface.
•
If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water and
thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
• The cabinet
is primarily made of plastic. Avoid using benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as these may deform the
cabinet and cause the paint to peel off.
• Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids.
Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain
in contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time Plasticizers
inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to deform and cause the paint to peel off.
