sure not to install the TV by the hanging
power and signal cables on the back of
the TV.
CAUTION concerning the Power Cord:
It is recommend that appliances be
placed upon a dedicated circuit; that is,
a single outlet circuit which powers only
that appliance and has no additional
outlets or branch circuits. Check the
specification page of this owner’s
manual to be certain.
Do not connect too many appliances to
the same AC power outlet as this could
result in fire or electric shock.
Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded
wall outlets, loose or damaged wall
outlets, extension cords, frayed power
cords, or damaged or cracked wire
insulation are dangerous . Any of these
conditions could result in electric shock
or fire. Periodically examine the cord of
your appliance, and if its appearance
indicates damage or deterioration,
unplug it, discontinue use of the
appliance, and have the cord replaced
with an exact replacement part by an
authorized servicer. Protect the power
cord from physical or mechanical abuse,
such as being twisted, kinked, pinched,
closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay
particular attention to plugs, wall outlets,
and the point where the cord exits the
appliance.
Do not use a damaged or loose power
cord. Do not pull on the power cord to
unplug the TV. Grasp the plug when
unplugging the power cord.

and do not place objects filled with
liquids, such as vases, cups, etc. on
or over the apparatus (e.g. on shelves
above the unit).
GROUNDING
Ensure that you connect the earth
ground wire to prevent possible electric
shock (i.e. a TV with a three-prong
grounded AC plug must be connected
to a three-prong grounded AC outlet).
If grounding methods are not possible,
have a qualified electrician install a
separate circuit breaker.
Do not try to ground the unit by
connecting it to telephone wires,
lightening rods, or gas pipes.

ANTENNAS
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow
the precautions below. An outdoor
antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines
or other electric light or power circuits,
or where it can come in contact with
such power lines or circuits as death or
serious injury can occur.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against
voltage surges and built-up static
charges.
Section 810 of the National Electrical
Code (NEC) in the U.S.A. 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.
Antenna grounding according to the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
Cleaning
When cleaning, unplug the power
cord and rub gently with a soft cloth to
prevent scratching. Do not spray water
or other liquids directly on the TV as
electric shock may occur. Do not clean
with chemicals such as alcohol, thinners
or benzene.
Moving

unplugged and all cables have been
removed. It may take 2 or more people
to carry larger TVs. Do not press against
or put stress on the front panel of the

Ventilation
Install your TV where there is proper
ventilation. Do not install in a confined
space such as a bookcase. Do not
cover the product with cloth or other
materials (e.g.) plastic while plugged
in. Do not install in excessively dusty
places.
Take care not to touch the ventilation
openings. When watching the TV for a
long period, the ventilation openings
may become hot.
If you smell smoke or other odors
coming from the TV or hear strange
sounds, unplug the power cord contact
an authorized service center.
Do not press strongly upon the panel
with hand or sharp object such as nail,
pencil or pen, or make a scratch on it.

sunlight.
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there
may be a small “flicker” when it is
turned on. This is normal, there is
nothing wrong with TV.
Some minute dot defects may be
visible on the screen, appearing as tiny
red, green, or blue spots. However, they
have no adverse effect on the monitor’s
performance.
Avoid touching the LCD screen or
holding your finger(s) against it for long
periods of time. Doing so may produce
some temporary distortion effects on
the screen.

amount of time you can enjoy your new TV.

Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry before you turn
on your TV.
