Safety Precautions
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 sy\
stem 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 fo\
r 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 
from these openings. 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 un\
less proper ventilation is provided.
Important Safety 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 ma\
nufacturer’s instructions. 
8)  Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, \
stoves or other apparatus (including amplifiers) 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 fit into your outlet, consult an electri\
cian for replacement of the 
obsolete outlet. 
10)  Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at p\
lugs, convenience receptacles, and  the point where they exit from the apparatus.
11)  Only use attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.
12)  Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table specified by the\
 manufacturer, or sold with the  apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart / appar\
atus combination to avoid injury 
from tip-over.
13)  Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long pe\
riods of time.
14)  Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is require\
d 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 normall\
y, or has been dropped.
15)  Operate only from the type of power source indicated on the marking labe\
l. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied  to your home consult your television dealer or local power 
company.

parts that could result in a fire 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.
  
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN
  
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove cover or back.
No user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service p\
ersonnel.
The lightning flash with arrowhead 
within a triangle is intended to tell the 
user that parts inside the product are a 
risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within a

19)  An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overh\
ead 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 personn\
el 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 instruction\
s as improper adjustment of other

 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 substi\
tutions 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.

24)  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 f\
rom 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).\

UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.
26)  CAUTION:  USE WITH OTHER STAND MAY RESULT IN INSTABILITY POSSIBLY CAUSING INJURY.
27)  CAUTION:  DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE SAME 
OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.
28)  CAUTION:  This LCD TV is for use only with the following optional accessory. Use with any other type of optional 
accessories may cause instability which could result in the possibility \
