IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

SAFETY POINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR HITACHI LCD MONITOR
Our reputation has been built on the quality, performance, and ease of service of Hitachi LCD Monitors and A/V Centers.
Safety is also foremost in our minds in the design of these units. To help you operate these products properly, this
section illustrates safety tips which will be of benefit to you. Please read it carefully and apply the knowledge you obtain
from it to the proper operation of your Hitachi LCD Monitor and A/V Center.
Please fill out your warranty card and mail it to Hitachi. This will enable Hitachi to notify you promptly in the improbable
event that a safety problem should be discovered in your product model. Model and serial numbers are indicated on
back side and right side of the LCD Monitor and underneath the A/V Center.
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on this LCD
Monitor and A/V Center.
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 dry cloth.
7. Do not block any 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 are provided for your
safety. If 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 the 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.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle,
is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous
voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of a sufficient
magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to a person.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle, is intended to
alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance
(servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
15. Monitors, Televisions and A/V Centers are designed
to comply with the recommended safety standards for
tilt and stability. Do not apply excessive pulling force to
the front, or top, of the cabinet which could cause the
product to overturn resulting in product damage and/
or personal injury.
16. Follow instructions for wall, shelf or ceiling mounting
as recommended by the manufacturer.
17. An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicinity
of overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
18. If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver and
the monitor be sure the antenna system is grounded so
as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built up static charges. Section 810 of the National
Electric Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70-1984, provides
information with respect to proper grounding for the
mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-
in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
connectors, location of antenna discharge unit,
connection to grounding electrodes and requirements
for the grounding electrode.
NOTE
To the CATV system installer: This reminder is provided to
call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-44
of the NEC 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.
