Important Safety Instructions

SAFETY POINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR HITACHI LCD TELEVISION
Our reputation has been built on the quality, performance,
and ease of service of Hitachi LCD televisions.
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
television.
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.
READ BEFORE OPERATING EQUIPMENT
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on this LCD
television.

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 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
2
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.
15. Televisions 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.

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 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.
