IMPORTANT PRODUCT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
Read carefully and follow all warnings and instructions in this User's Manual and those
marked on the product you operate your television. Failure to follow warnings can
result in personal injury or damage to product. Keep this User's Manual in a convenient
location for future reference.
Proper Positioning of Television
Always handle your LCD television with care. The product can be heavy and bulky, requiring
the assistance of a second person to move. Avoid touching the LCD screen. Skin oils are
difficult to remove.
Always position your LCD television on a stable and level surface. Unstable surfaces can
cause your LCD to topple and fall, resulting in possible damage or injury.
Avoid exposing the LCD display to direct sunlight or high temperatures, which can damage or
shorten its useful life. Do not place near heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, or
other appliances that generate heat.
Avoid exposing the LCD display to rain, water, moisture or high humidity. Do not place your
LCD near basins or sinks where it may come in contact with water.
Orient your LCD display away from direct sunlight to reduce glare.
Never place heavy or sharp objects on the LCD display, video cable, or power cord.
Overloading Outlets
Do not overload electrical power sources when installing television. Overloading wall outlets,
circuits, or extension cords can result in overheating, fire, or electric shock. Use only
grounded or polarized outlets.
Power Cord Protection
Minimize wear on power supply cords. Power supply cords should be routed away from foot
traffic and contact with other objects. Do not route power cord under rugs or carpeting. The
cord should never be severely bent, pinched, or twisted. Periodically inspect power cords for
wear or damage, particularly near plug and the point where it exits from the product. Unplug
cord and discontinue use if damage is discovered.
Ventilation
Slots and openings on the cabinet are provided for ventilation purposes.
To ensure reliable operation of the product and to protect it from overheating, these openings
must not be blocked or covered. Keep LCD a minimum of four (4) inches away from any wall
to assure sufficient airflow and ventilation. Increased temperatures may cause fire or device
failure.
