IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.

National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70

Cleaning
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and
wipe gently with a soft cloth to prevent
scratching. Do not spray water or other
liquids directly on the TV as electric shock
may occur. Do not clean with chemicals
such as alcohol, thinners or benzine.
y
Moving
Make sure the product is turned off,
unplugged and all cables have been
removed. It may take 2 or more people to
carry larger TVs. Do not press or put stress
on the front panel of the TV.
y
Ventilation
Install your TV where there is proper
ventilation. Do not install in a confined space
such as a bookcase. Do not cover the product
with cloth or other materials while plugged.
Do not install in excessively dusty places.
y
If you smell smoke or other odors coming
from the TV, unplug the power cord and
contact an authorized service center.
y
Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
y
Never touch this apparatus or antenna
during a thunder or lightning storm.
y
When mounting a TV on the wall, make
sure not to install the TV by hanging the
power and signal cables on the back of the
TV.
y
Do not allow an impact shock or any objects
to fall into the product, and do not drop
anything onto the screen.
y
Disconnecting the Main Power
The power outlet used with this device
must remain easily accessible.
y
Store the accessories (battery, etc.) in a
safe location out of the reach of children.
y
This apparatus use batteries. In your
community there might be regulations
that require you to dispose of these
batteries properly due to environmental
considerations. Please contact your
local authorities for disposal or recycling
information.
y
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
y
Do not short circuit, disassemble or allow
the batteries to overheat.
y
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 pixels and do not
affect the performance and reliability of the
TV.
y
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 product.
This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.
y
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.
y
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.
Preventing “Image burn” or “Burn-in” on
your TV screen
y
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.
y
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.
y
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.
