ANTENNAS
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outdoor antenna is installed, follow the precautions below. An 
outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead 
power lines or other electric light or power circuits, or where it can come 
in contact with such power lines or circuits.
WHEN INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR ANTENNA SYSTEM, 
EXTREME CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN TO KEEP FROM 
CONTACTING SUCH POWER LINES OR CIRCUITS AS CONTACT 
WITH THEM IS ALMOST INVARIABLY FATAL.
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 USA and Section 
54 of the Canadian Electrical Code in Canada 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.
Antenna grounding according to the National 
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70
BATTERIES
s Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
s Do not short circuit, disassemble or overheat the batteries.
s Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only 
with the same or equivalent type.
Disposal of used batteries
To preserve our environment, dispose of used batteries according to your 
local laws or regulations.
CLEANING
Cleaning the AC power plug
Unplug the AC power plug and clean it regularly. 
If the plug is covered with dust and it picks up 
moisture, its insulation may deteriorate and result 
in a fire.
Cleaning the screen surface/
cabinet of the TV set
Unplug the AC power cord when cleaning this 
TV. If not, it may result in electric shock. Clean 
the cabinet of the TV with a dry soft cloth. To 
remove dust from the screen, wipe it gently with a soft cloth. Stubborn 
stains may be removed with a cloth slightly dampened with a solution of 
mild soap and warm water. Never use strong solvents such as thinner or 
benzine for cleaning. If using a chemically pretreated cloth, please follow 
the instruction provided on the package. The ventilation holes can 
accumulate dust over time. To ensure proper ventilation, we recommend 
removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
MAGNETIC INFLUENCE
This TV contains a strong magnet in the speaker unit that generates a 
magnetic field. Keep any items susceptible to magnetic fields away from 
the speaker.
SOUND
If a snapping or popping sound from the TV is 
continuous or frequent while the TV is operating, 
unplug the TV and consult your dealer or service 
technician. It is normal for some TV’s to make 
occasional snapping or popping sounds, particu-
larly when being turned on or off.
CARRYING THE TV
Carry the TV in the specified manner
To avoid dropping the TV and causing serious injury, be sure to follow 
these guidelines:
s Before carrying the TV, disconnect all cables.
s Carrying the large size TV requires two or more people.
s When you carry the TV, place your hand as illustrated and hold it 
securely. Do not put stress on the LCD panel.
s When carrying, do not subject the TV to shocks or vibration, or 
excessive force.
s When lifting or moving the TV, hold it firmly from the bottom. Place 
your palm directly underneath but do not squeeze the panel’s speaker 
grill area.
VENTILATION
The slots and openings in the TV are provided for necessary ventilation. 
To ensure reliable operation of the TV and to protect it from overheating, 
these slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.
Unless proper ventilation is provided, the TV may 
gather dust and get dirty. For proper ventilation, 
observe the following:
s Do not install the TV face up, down or sideways.
s Do not install the TV turned over or upside 
down.
