SAFETY POINTS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT YOUR HITACHI PLASMA TELEVISION
Our reputation has been built on the quality, performance, and ease of service of Hitachi plasma 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
plasma television.
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 plasma
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.

with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat 8.
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding- 9.
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.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched 10.
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from the apparatus.
Only use the attachments/accessories specified by the 11.
manufacturer.
Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or 12.
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.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused 13.
for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing 14.
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.
Televisions are designed to comply with the recommended 15.
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.

An outdoor antenna should not be located in the vicinity of 17.
overhead power lines or other electrical circuits.
If an outside antenna is connected to the receiver be sure the 18.
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.
Power source
This plasma television is designed to operate on 120 volts 60 Hz, AC current. Insert the power cord into a 120 volt 60 Hz outlet. The mains
plug is used as the disconnect device and shall remain readily operable.
To prevent electric shock, do not use the plasma television’s (polarized) plug with an extension cord, receptacle, or other outlet unless the
blades and ground terminal can be fully inserted to prevent blade exposure.
Never connect the plasma television to 50 Hz, direct current, or anything other than the specified voltage.
Caution
Never remove the back cover of the plasma television as this can expose you to very high voltages and other hazards. If the
television does not operate properly, unplug the plasma television and call your authorized dealer or service center.
Adjust only those controls that are covered in the instructions, as improper changes or modifications not expressly approved by
Hitachi could void the user’s warranty.
