15. Stand --- Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the

manufacturer, or sold with the apparatus. Do not place the product on an unstable

trolley, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an unstable base can cause

the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the

product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer's

instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

16. Careful move --- When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus

combination to avoid injury from tip-over. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven

floor surfaces can cause the product to fall from the trolley.

17. Lightning --- Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for

long periods of time.

For added protection for this television equipment during a lightning storm, or when

it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet

and disconnect the antenna. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to

lightning and power-line surges.

18. Do not use this apparatus near water --- for example, near a bathtub, washbowl,

kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool, and the like.

Do not use immediately after moving from a low temperature to high temperature

environment, as this causes condensation, which may result in fire, electric shock, or

other hazards.

20. Ventilation --- Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with

the manufacturer instructions. The vents and other openings in the cabinet are

designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since

insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product.

Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they

can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation;

do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless

proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions are followed.

21. Heat sources --- Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat

registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

22. Panel protection - The display panel used in this product is made of glass.

Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impacted upon by other

objects. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass pieces in case the LCD panel

breaks.

23. Pixel defect - The dipslay panel is a very high technology product, giving you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally,

a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. Please note that this does not

affect the performance of your product.

19. Clean only with dry cloth --- Unplug this product from the wall outlet before

cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

Preparations

Using the Remote Control

Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window of the

set. Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper

operation.

Cautions regarding use of remote control

Do not expose the remote control to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote

control to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.

Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit.

The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the main unit is under direct sunlight or

strong lighting. In such a case, change the angle of the lighting or TV set, or operate the remote control closer

to the remote sensor window.

Installing the Batteries

If the remote control fails to operate the TV functions, replace the batteries in the remote control.

Insert two size-AAA batteries.

Replace the cover and slide in

reverse until the lock snaps.

(Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+)

and (-) indications in the battery compartment.)

Precautions on battery use

Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (-) indications.

Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.

Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old

batteries to leak chemicals.

Remove batteries as soon as they are non-operable. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical

leakage is found, wipe with a cloth.

The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.

If the remote control is not used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.

Preparations (Continued)
