connection.

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 1), 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 as to the point of cable entry as

practical.

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOC

K

DO NOT OPEN

CAUTION

CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT

REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS

INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT

EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO WATER OR MOISTURE.

Warning

Do not leave any stationary images, patterns, PIP windows, or letterbox images on the screen for

an extended period of time as this may result in permanent damage to the LCD panel. This type

of damage is not covered under warranty. The following are examples of, but not limited to,

potentially hazardous display output: side bar images, video game patterns, closed captioning,

channel logos, and letterbox black bars. To prevent this type of damage, display constant moving

images that fill the screen as often as possible.

According to industrial standards for LCD display technology, there are a certain number of

allowable defective pixels. Although we produce panels with more than 99.9 percent active

cells, there still may be some cells that do not produce light or remain constantly lit. For further

information, please contact sales or technical support.

Safety Precautions

Safety Labels are found on your LCD TV as well as on various packaging materials.

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Water and moisture: Do not use the product near water or areas of high moisture content

such as swimming pools, bathtubs or wet basements.

6. Cleaning: Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a

damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

7. Ventilation: The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not

cover or block these vents and openings as 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 was not designed to

operate in an enclosed environment. Do not place the product in an enclosed space such as a

bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer's instructions are

followed.

8. Heat sources: Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and

other heat-generating products (including amplifiers).

9. 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. Only use a cart, stand, tripod, and bracket or table

recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. Only use

mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

10. Use care when moving the product on a rolling cart. Sudden stops,

excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall

from the cart.

11. For added protection during a lightning storm or for extended periods of non-use, unplug the

power cord from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna (if used). This will prevent

damage to the product due to power line surges.

12. The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break if the product is

dropped or struck.

13. During the LCD panel lifespan it is normal for a few pixels to become defective. Non-active

pixels may appear on the screen as fixed points of red, blue or green. Refer pixel policy

questions to the reseller for further clarification on acceptable loss.

14. An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or

other electrical conduits. When installing an outside antenna, use extreme caution to prevent

the antenna from coming into contact with said items, as contact with them may be fatal.

15. Outdoor antenna grounding:

If an outside antenna is connected to the LCD TV, 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, ground of the lead-in wire to antenna

discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna-discharge unit, connection

to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.
