CHILD SAFETY:
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel
Display. 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 MANUFACTURER 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 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 to support the
weight of the unit/ product and wall mount. If you are unsure,
contact a professional installer. A minimum of two people are
required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the unit if the unit
is brought from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the
temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this happens,
unit’s performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the unit
stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before switching
it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the unit is
exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such cases,
change the location of the unit.
HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL
• Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD
panel glass to break and injury may occur
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you
do not touch the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin
inflammation.
If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and
consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your eyes or
touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at
least 15 minutes or longer in clean water
Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a fixed (non-moving)
pattern remains on the LCD Panel for long periods of time, the
image can become permanently engrained in the LCD Panel and
cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is
NOT COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your LCD Panel on
for long periods of time while it is displaying the following formats
or images:
• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV
station logos, and websites
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example,
viewing letterbox style (16:9) media on a normal (4:3) display
(black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing normal
style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (black bars on
left and right sides of screen)
