IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

circuits as death or serious injury can occur. 

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 Electrical Code 

(NEC) in the U.S.A. provides information 

with respect to proper grounding of the 

mast and supporting structure, grounding 

of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge 

unit, size of grounding conductors, location 

of antenna discharge unit, connection to 

grounding electrodes and requirements for 

the grounding electrode.

When cleaning, unplug the power cord and 

wipe gently with a soft cloth to prevent 

scratching. Do not spray water or other 

liquids directly on the TV as electric shock 

may occur. Do not clean with chemicals 

such as alcohol, thinners or benzine.

 

y

Make sure the product is turned off, 

unplugged and all cables have been 

removed. It may take 2 or more people to 

carry larger TVs. Do not press or put stress 

on the front panel of the TV.

 

y

Install your TV where there is proper 

ventilation. Do not install in a confined space 

such as a bookcase. Do not cover the product 

with cloth or other materials while plugged. 

Do not install in excessively dusty places.

 

y

If you smell smoke or other odors coming 

from the TV, unplug the power cord and 

contact an authorized service center.

 

y

Keep the product away from direct sunlight.

 

y

Never touch this apparatus or antenna 

during a thunder or lightning storm.

 

y

When mounting a TV on the wall, make 

sure not to install the TV by hanging the 

power and signal cables on the back of the 

TV.

 

y

Do not allow an impact shock or any objects 

to fall into the product, and do not drop 

anything onto the screen.

 

y

The power outlet used with this device 

must remain easily accessible.

 

y

Store the accessories (battery, etc.) in a 

safe location out of the reach of children.

 

y

This apparatus use batteries. In your 

community there might be regulations 

that require you to dispose of these 

batteries properly due to environmental 

considerations. Please contact your 

local authorities for disposal or recycling 

information.

 

y

Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.

 

y

Do not short circuit, disassemble or allow 

the batteries to overheat.

 

y

The Plasma or LCD panel is a high 

technology product with resolution of 

two million to six million pixels. In a very 

few cases, you could see fine dots on the 

screen while you’re viewing the TV. Those 

dots are deactivated pixels and do not 

affect the performance and reliability of the 

TV.

 

y

“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that 

occurs when watching or turning off the TV 

is generated by plastic thermal contraction 

due to temperature and humidity. This 

noise is common for products where 

thermal deformation is required.  

Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A 

low level noise is generated from a high-

speed switching circuit, which supplies 

a large amount of current to operate a 

product. It varies depending on the product. 

This generated sound does not affect the 

performance and reliability of the product.

 

y

Take care not to touch the ventilation 

openings. When watching the TV for 

a long period, the ventilation openings 

may become hot. This does not affect 

the performance of the product or cause 

defects in the product.

 

y

If the TV feels cold to the touch, there 

may be a small “flicker” when it is turned 

on. This is normal, there is nothing wrong 

with TV. Some minute dot defects may be 

visible on the screen, appearing as tiny red, 

green, or blue spots. However, they have 

no adverse effect on the TV’s performance. 

Avoid touching the LCD screen or holding 

your finger(s) against it for long periods 

of time. Doing so may produce some 

temporary distortion effects on the screen.

Preventing “Image burn” or “Burn-in” on 
your TV screen

 

y

If a fixed image displays on the TV screen 

for a long period of time, it will be imprinted 

and become a permanent disfigurement on 

the screen. This is “image burn” or “burn-

in” and not covered by the warranty.

 

y

If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 

for a long period of time, image burn may 

occur on the letterboxed area of the screen.

 

y

Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV 

screen for a long period of time (2 or more 

hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for the 

Plasma TV) to prevent image burn.
