instructions.

16) Overloading — Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this can

result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

17) 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 a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid

of any kind on the product.

18) Damage Requiring Service — Unplug this product from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service

personnel under the following conditions:

a) When the AC cord or plug is damaged,

b) If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the product,

c) If the product has been exposed to rain or water,

d) If the product does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as an improper adjustment of

other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to

restore the product to its normal operation,

e) If the product has been dropped or damaged in any way, and

f) When the product exhibits a distinct change in performance – this indicates a need for service.

19) Replacement Parts — When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as the original part.

Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

20) Safety Check — Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service technician to

perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Water and Moisture — Do not use this product near water – for example, near a bath tub,

wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub; in a wet basement; or near a swimming pool; and the

like.

• Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, 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. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table

recommended by the manufacturer or sold with 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.

• Ventilation — 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.

• The Liquid Crystal panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when

the product is dropped or applied with impact. Be careful not to be injured by broken glass

pieces in case the panel breaks.

• The Liquid Crystal panel is a very high technology product with 6,220,800 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture

details.

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.

Precautions when transporting the TV

When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding onto the display. Be sure to always

carry the TV with two or more people holding the grips on the back of the TV.

• Heat — The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat

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

• Lightning — 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.

• 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.

• Selecting the location — Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Outdoor Antenna Grounding — If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna

system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with 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-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the

grounding electrode.

Preparation

Using the remote control unit

Use the remote control unit by pointing it towards the remote control sensor on

the TV. Objects between the remote control unit and the remote control sensor

may prevent proper operation.

Cautions regarding remote control unit

• Do not expose the remote control unit to shock.

In addition, do not expose the remote control unit to liquids, and do not place

in an area with high humidity.

• Do not install or place the remote control unit under direct sunlight.

The heat may cause deformation of the remote control unit.

• The remote control unit may not work properly if the remote control sensor on

the TV is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such cases, change the

angle of the lighting or the TV, or operate the remote control unit closer to the

remote control sensor.

Connecting Antenna Cable

1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type

connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without

tools (Commercially available).

2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be

attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm

adapter (Commercially available).

F-type connector

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

F-type connector

75-ohm coaxial cable

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten

F-type connector with tools.

If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set.

(The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)

F-type connector should be finger-tightened only.

NOTICE

Antennas

To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections

that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,

plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.

Depending on your reception

environment, either CABLE IN or AIR

IN may be used, or both CABLE IN

and AIR IN may be used.
