17) Cautions for installation

-- Do not tilt the TV towards the left or right, or towards the back.

-- Install the TV in a corner on the floor so as to keep cords out of the way.

-- The TV will generate a slight amount of heat during operation. Ensure that sufficient space is

available around the TV to allow satisfactory cooling.

Displaying fixed images for extended periods of time can leave a subtle but temporary ghost

image on your screen. To avoid this, mix your viewing pattern.

Examples include, but are not limited to the following:

• Stock-market report bars

• Shopping channel Iogos and pricing

displays

• Video game patterns or scoreboards

• Bright station Iogos

• Internet web sites or other computer-style

images.

• DVD discs, video tapes, laser discs

• Broadcast, cable, satellite channels or

digital television tuners/converters.

TV on

For example...

TV off

Normally, light dusting with a soft, non-scratching duster will keep your TV clean.

If you wish to wipe down the television, first unplug it. Then wipe gently with a soft cloth, slightly

moistened with water. You can add a few drops of mild liquid detergent to the water to help

remove spots of oily dirt.

• DO NOT allow liquid to enter the TV through the ventilation slots.

• DO NOT use strong or abrasive cleaners on the TV.

• DO NOT spray liquids or cleaners directly on the TV's surface.

• DO NOT rub or scrub the TV harshly. Wipe the set gently with a soft cloth.

The screen is treated with an electrostatic-proof coating. When it gets dirty, wipe it gently with a

soft cloth. If the screen is very dirty, wipe it down with a cloth dipped in a diluted kitchen cleaner

and thoroughly wrung-out. Then wipe immediately after with a clean, dry cloth.

Do not apply alcohol, organic solvents (like acetone), acidic or alkaline cleansers to the screen.

These will remove the coating layer and cause discolorations.

Do not push or hit the screen. This could cause scratches on the screen surface and image

distortions.

Your fingers may become trapped under

the TV, causing injuries. Hold the TV at the

bottom in the middle, and do not allow the TV

to tilt up or down.

The TV may fall causing injuries. Hold the

bottom of the stand with your hand and tilt

the TV up or down.

These quick setup pages will provide you, in three easy steps, with the basic information you

need to begin using your new television right away.

If you have questions, or for more detailed information on any of these steps, please consult

other sections of this manual.

This TV comes with a Table Top Stand already attached,

This stand can be used to adjust the direction of the TV screen 5 ° up, 10° down and 20 ° to the

left or right.

Tilt the TV up or down

While holding the bottom of the stand with one hand,

use your other hand to hold the middle of the top of the

TV, and slowly tilt the TV up or down.

• As a safety measure, the stand is constructed so that

it requires a certain amount of force to tilt the TV.

Rotate the TV left or right

While holding the bottom of the stand with one hand,

use your other hand to hold the edge of the panel

and slowly adjust the direction of the TV stand.

Before you can operate your remote control, you first

need to install the batteries (included).

control to open. Insert two batteries (included)

carefully noting the "+" and "-" markings, placing

the "-" end in the unit first. Snap the cover back into

place.

When you change the batteries, try to complete

the task within three minutes. If you take longer

than three minutes, the remote control codes for

your VCR, DVD, and/or cable box/satellite receiver

may have to be reset. See pages 19 - 22.

Key Feature Buttons

of the TV. Remove the cover before connecting an antenna

or other devices. The cover can be removed by removing

the hooks. When replacing the cover, place the bottom of the

cover against the TV and insert the hooks.

Note:

• Leave the terminal covers off if they do not fit properly. Do

not force to replace the covers. Doing so may damage the

connection cables and covers.
