This symbol is intended to alert the
user to the presence of uninsulated
"dangerous voltage" within the
product's enclosure that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a
risk of electric shock to persons.
This symbol is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the
literature accompanying the
appliance.
Note to CATV system installer:
This reminder is provided to call CATV system
installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the
National Electrical Code (Section 54 of Canadian
Electrical Code, Part I), that provides guidelines for
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.
Caution:
FCC/CSA regulations state that any unauthorized
changes or modifications to this equipment may
void the user’s authority to operate it.
Caution:
To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade of

Warning! Important Safety Instructions
TA2050 UG 2-23-05.qxd 2/23/05 10:05 AM Page 2
Always be careful when using your LCD TV.
To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock,
and other injuries, keep these safety
precautions in mind when installing, using,
and maintaining your machine.
1) Read these instructions.
2) Keep these instructions.
3) Heed all warnings.
4) Follow all instructions.
5) Do not use this apparatus near water.
6) Clean only with a dramp cloth.
7) Do not block any of the ventilation openings.
Install in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions.
8) Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other
apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce
heat.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the
polarized or grounding type plug. A polarized
plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades
and a third grounding prong. The wide blade
or the third prong is provided for your safety.
When the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
10) Protect the power cord from being walked on
or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit
from the apparatus.
11) Only use the attachments/accessories specified
by the manufacturer.
12) Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by
the manufacturer, or
sold with the
apparatus. When a
cart is used, use
caution when
moving the
cart/apparatus
combination to
avoid injury from
tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning
storms or when unused for long periods of
time.
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.

Important Safety Information
• Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna
system should not be placed 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, be extremely careful to keep
from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact
with such lines can be fatal.
• Do not overload the wall outlet or extension
cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric
shock.
• Do not insert anything through the openings in
the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage
points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any
kind on the LCD TV.
• Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna
or cable system is connected to the LCD TV, be
sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against voltage
surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of
the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-
1984, provides information about 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.
• Do not attempt to service the LCD TV yourself.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer
servicing to qualified service personnel under
the following conditions:
- When the power-supply cord or plug is damaged
- If liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects
have fallen into the unit
- If the LCD TV has been exposed to rain or water
- If the LCD TV does not operate normally by
following the operating instructions
- If the LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet
has been damaged
- When the LCD TV exhibits a distinct change in
performance
• If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only
those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by
a qualified technician to restore the LCD TV to
normal.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the
service technician uses replacement parts specified
by the manufacturer or those that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in additional damage to
the unit.
• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this
LCD TV, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the TV is in a safe
operating condition.
