wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will
prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges.
14. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is
required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such
as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled
or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture does not operate normally, or has
been dropped.
15. Power source
This product should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supply to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power
company. For products intended to operate from battery power, or
other sources, refer to the operating instructions.
16. Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where
it can fall into such power lines or circuits. When installing an outside
antenna system, extreme care should be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits as contact with them might be fatal.
17. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in
a risk of fire or electric shock.
18. Object and liquid entry
Never push objects of any kind into this product through openings as
they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could
result in fire or electric shock. Never spill or spray any type of liquid on
the product.
19. Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna is connected to the product, 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 Electric
Code ANSI/NFPA 70 provides information with respect to proper
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the
leading wire to an antenna discharge product, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna-discharge product, connection to
grounding electrodes and requirements for grounding electrodes.

proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground
shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close
to the point of cable entry as practical.
Warning
1) To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this
apparatus to rain or moisture.
2) The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and
that no objects filled with liquids, such as vases, shall be placed on

PRECAUTION WITH TV:
When displaying a still image.
A still image may cause permanent damage to the TV screen.
• Do not display a still image on the LCD panel for more than 2 hours
as it can cause screen image retention. This image retention is also
known as “screen burn”. To avoid such image retention, reduce the
degree of brightness and contrast of the screen when displaying a
still image.
