SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Important safety instructions shall be provided with each apparatus. This information shall be given in a separate
booklet or sheet, or be located before any operating instructions in an instruction for installation for use and
supplied with the apparatus.
This information shall be given in a language acceptable to the country where the apparatus is intended to be
used. The important safety instructions shall be entitled “Important Safety Instructions”. The following safety
instructions shall be included where applicable, and, when used, shall be verbatim as follows. Additional safety
information may be included by adding statements after the end of the following safety instruction list. At the
manufacturer’s option, a picture or drawing that illustrates the intent of a specific safety instruction may replaced
immediately adjacent to that safety instruction:
Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with dry cloth.
Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer’s

Zenith.book Page 2 Wednesday, April 2, 2008 11:46 AM
3
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/apparatus combination
to avoid injury from tip-over.
Never touch this apparatus or antenna during a
thunder or lighting storm.
Do not allow an impact shock or any objects to
fall into the product, and do not drop onto the
screen with something.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required 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 exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been dropped.
CAUTION concerning the Power Cord :
Most appliances recommend they 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 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 o
r
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.

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.
DISCONNECTING DEVICE FROM MAINS
Mains plug is the disconnecting device. The
plug must remain readily operable.

SECURING THE TV TO THE WALL TO PREVENT FALLING
You should purchase necessary components to prevent TV from falling off of the stand.
Image shown may differ from your TV.
We recommend that you set up the TV close to a wall so it cannot fall over if pushed backwards.
Additionally, we recommend that the TV be attached to a wall so it cannot be pulled in a forward direction,
potentially causing injury or damaging the product.
Caution: Please make sure that children don’t climb on or hang from the TV.
Insert the eye-bolts (or TV brackets and bolts) to tighten the product to the wall as shown in the picture.
* If your product has the bolts in the eye-bolts position before inserting the eye-bolts, loosen the bolts. Secure
the wall brackets with the bolts (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase separately) to the wall.
Match the height of the bracket that is mounted on the wall to the holes in the product.
Ensure the eye-bolts or brackets are tightened securely.
Use a sturdy rope (not provided as parts of the product, must purchase
separately) to tie the product. It is safer to tie the rope so it becomes
horizontal between the wall and the product.
