IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

(Continued from previous page)

22. Outdoor Antenna Grounding

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the

product, follow the precautions below.

An outdoor antenna system should not be located in the vi-

cinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or power

circuits or where it can come into contact with such power

lines or 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.

Article 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the

U.S.A. provides information with respect to proper ground-

ing 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 NEC, ANSI/NFPA 70

23. Cleaning

When cleaning, unplug the power cord and rub 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 benzene.

24. Transporting Product

Make sure the product is turned Off and unplugged and

that all cables have been removed. It may take two or more

people to carry larger TVs. Do not press against or put stress

on the front panel of the TV.

25. Ventilation

Install the 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 (e.g., plastic) while it is

plugged in. Do not install in excessively dusty places.

26. Do not touch the ventilation openings, as they may become

hot while the TV is operating.

27. If you smell smoke or other odors coming from the TV or

hear strange sounds, unplug the power cord, and contact an

authorized service center.

28. Do not press strongly on the panel with a hand or sharp

object (e.g., a nail, pencil, or pen) or make a scratch on it.

29. Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
30. Dot Defect

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.

31. Generated Sound

“Cracking”: A cracking noise that occurs while the TV is On or

when it is turned Off is generated by plastic thermal contrac-

tion 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 sup-

plies 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.

32. For LCD TV

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 monitor’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.
