place objects filled with liquids, such as vases, cups,
etc. on or over the apparatus (e.g. on shelves above
the unit).
4IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Grounding
(Except for devices which are not grounded.)
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.
Power Supply

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, ANSl/NFPA 70
Cleaning

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS .5
Dot Defect
The Plasma or LCD panel is a high technology
product with resolution of two million to six million
pixels. In a very few cases, you could see fine dots
on the screen while you're viewing the TV. Those
dots are deactivated pixets and do not affect the
performance and reliability of the TV.
Generated Sound
"Cracking" noise: A cracking noise that occurs
when watching or turning off the TV is generated by
plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and
humidity. This noise is common for products where
thermal deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A low level
noise is generated from a high-speed switching
circuit, which supplies a large amount of current
to operate a product. It varies depending on the
prod uct.
This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.
Take care not to touch the ventilation openings.
When watching the TV for a long period, the
ventilation openings may become hot. This does
not affect the performance of the product or cause
defects in the product.
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 TV'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.
If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for a long
period of time, it will be imprinted and become a
permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is
"image burn" or "burn-in" and not covered by the
warranty.
If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a
long period of time, image burn may occur on the
letterboxed area of the screen.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for
a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD, 1
or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent image
burn.

Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product,
please keep these safety tips in mind:
THE ISSUE
, The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and
larger flat panel displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel
displays are not always supported on the proper stands or installed
according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
, Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers,
bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over
and cause injury.
THIS MANUFACURER CARES!
, The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home
entertainment enjoyable and safe.
TUNE INTO SAFETY
, One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations for the safe installation and use of your flat panel
display.
, Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper
use of this product.
, Don't allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television
sets.
, Don't allow place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be
used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
, Remember that children can become excited while watching a
program, especially on a "larger than life" flat panel display.
Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot
be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
, Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the
flat panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious
children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL
MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY, ALWAYS:
, Use a mount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by an independent laboratory
(such as UL, CSA, ETL).
, Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount
manufacturers.
, If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat
panel display, contact your retailer about professional installation.
, Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted to
walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction.
If you are unsure, contact a professional installer.
, A minimum of two people are required for installation.
Flat panel displays can be heavy.
