Lightning storms

During a lightning storm, unplug the TV from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna to prevent
damage to the TV.

When not in use

If you will not be using the TV set for long peri-
ods of time, the TV set should be disconnected 
from the AC power outlet to prevent power line 
surges. The TV set is not disconnected from the 
AC power source when the TV set is switched off. 
To disconnect the TV set completely, unplug from 
the AC power outlet.

Overloading

This TV set is designed to operate on 
a 120 - 240 V AC supply only. If 
there are too many appliances con-
nected to the same AC power outlet, 
it could result in a fire or an electric 
shock. 

Optional equipment 

If optional equipment is to be installed, leave 
some space between optional equipment and the 
TV set. Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may 
occur if the TV set is positioned in close proxim-
ity to any equipment emitting electromagnetic 
radiation.

Small accessories

Keep small accessories in a safe place where chil-
dren are unable to reach.

ANTENNAS

Outdoor antenna grounding

If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the pre-
cautions below. 
Do not install the outdoor antenna system near of 
overhead power lines or other electric light or 
power circuits, or where it can come in contact 
with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR 

ANTENNA SYSTEM, EXTREME CARE 

SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM CON-

TACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIR-

CUITS AS CONTACT WITH THEM IS 

ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so that it 

can provide some protection against voltage 

surges and built-up static charges.

Section 810 of the National Electrical Code 

(NEC) in the U.S.A. and Section 54 of the Cana-

dian Electrical Code in Canada provides informa-

tion with in regard 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 dis-

charge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, 

and requirements for the grounding electrode.

Antenna grounding according to the
National Electrical Code, ANS/NFPA 70

BATTERIES

• Do not cast away batteries in a fire.
• Do not disassembled, overheat, or short-circuit the 

batteries.

• If the battery is replaced in the wrong way, it may cause 

danger of explosion. Replace only with the same or equiv-
alent type.

Dispose used batteries

To preserve our environment, dispose of used
batteries according to your local laws or 
regulations.

CLEANING

Cleaning the AC power plug

Unplug the AC power plug and 
clean it regularly. If the plug is cov-
ered with dust and gathers moisture, 
its insulation may deteriorate and 
result in a fire.

Cleaning the screen surface/
cabinet of the TV set

When cleaning this TV, unplug the 
AC power cord. If not, it may 
result in electric shock. Use a dry 
soft cloth to clean the cabinet of 
the TV. To remove dust near the 
screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn 
stains may be removed with a cloth slightly 
dampened with a solution of mild soap and warm 
water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner 
or benzine for cleaning. If using a chemically pre-
treated cloth, please follow the instruction pro-
vided on the package. The ventilation holes can 
accumulate dust over time.
To ensure proper ventilation, we recommend you 
to remove the dust periodically (once a month) 
using a vacuum cleaner, while the LCD TV is 
powered off.
