17) If an outside antenna is connected to the television

equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded
so as to provide some protection against voltage surges
and built up static charges. In the U.S.
Selection 810-21 of the National Electrical Code
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.

18) An outside antenna system should not be located in the

vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric light or
power circuits, or where it can fall into such power lines or
circuits. When installing an outside antenna system
extreme care should be taken to keep from touching
such power lines or circuits as contact with them
might be fatal.

19) Unplug this LCD TV from the wall outlet, and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions:

a. When the power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
b. If liquid has been spilled into the LCD TV.
c. If the LCD TV ha been exposed to rain or water.
d. If the LCD TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions.

Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions as improper adjustment of other controls may
result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the LCD TV to normal operation.

e. If the LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
f. When the LCD TV exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates a need for service.

20) When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician to use replacement parts specified by the manufacture that

have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, or other hazards.

21) WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THIS APPARATUS TO

RAIN OR MOISTURE.

22) CAUTION: TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT USE THIS PLUG WITH A RECEPTACLE OR OTHER OUTLET

UNLESS THE BLADES CAN BE FULLY INSERTED TO PREVENT BLADE EXPOSURE.

23) CAUTION: USE WITH OTHER STAND IS CABABLE OF RESULTING IN INSTABILITY CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURY.
24) CAUTION: DANGER OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS INCORRECTLY REPLACED. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE

SAME OR EQUIVALENT TYPE.

NOTE:

This equipment is designed to operate in the U.S.A. and other countries where the broadcasting system and

AC house current is exactly the same as in the U.S.A.

The marking or retained image on the LCD panel resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such

is not covered by Warranty. This product is not designed to display fixed image patterns for extended periods of time.

Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Caption or Other Fixed Image Displays.
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the LCD panel.
This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type of irreversible
LCD panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
A. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
B. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
C. Turn the power off when not in actual use.
