IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL
• Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the LCD panel glass to break and
injury may occur.
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch the liquid in the
panel. This may cause skin inflammation.
If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and consult with your doctor. Also, if
the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at
least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.
Possible Adverse Effects on LCD Panel: If a fixed (non-moving) pattern remains on the
LCD Panel for long periods of time, the image can become permanently engrained in the
LCD Panel and cause subtle but permanent ghost images. This type of damage is NOT
COVERED BY YOUR WARRANTY. Never leave your LCD Panel on for long periods of time
while it is displaying the following formats or images:
• Fixed Images, such as stock tickers, video game patterns, TV station logos, and websites.
• Special Formats that do not use the entire screen. For example, viewing letterbox style
(16:9) media on a normal (4:3) display (black bars at top and bottom of screen); or viewing
normal style (4:3) media on a widescreen (16:9) display (black bars on left and right sides
of screen).
The following symptoms are not signs of malfunction but technical limitation.
Therefore we disclaim any responsibility for these symptoms.
• LCD Panels are manufactured using an extremely high level of precision technology,
however sometimes parts of the screen may be missing picture elements or have
luminous spots.
• Do not install the LCD Panel near electronic equipment that produces electromagnetic
waves. Some equipment placed too near this unit may cause interference.
• Effect on infrared devices – There may be interference while using infrared devices such
as infrared cordless headphones.
Power source
This television is designed to operate on 100 - 240 volts 50 - 60 Hz, AC current. Insert the
power cord into a 100 - 240 volts 50 - 60 Hz outlet.
To prevent electric shock, do not use the television's (AC) plug with an extension cord,
receptacle, or other outlet unless the blades can be fully inserted to prevent blade
exposure.
Never Connect the television to direct current or anything other than the specified
volatage.
Warning

moisture.
Caution
Never remove the back cover of the television as this can expose you to very high voltages
and other hazards. If the television does not operate properly, unplug the television and
call your authorized dealer or service center.
Adjust only those controls that are covered in the instructions, as improper changes or
modifications not expressly approved by Hitachi could void the user's warranty.
CONDENSATION
Moisture will form in the operating section of the unit if the unit is brought from cool
surroundings into a warm room or if the temperature of the room rises suddenly. When
this happens, unit's performance will be impaired. To prevent this, let the unit stand in its
new surroundings for about an hour before switching it on, or make sure that the room
temperature rises gradually.
Condensation may also form during the summer if the unit is exposed to the breeze from an
air conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the unit.
