There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Removing the back cover voids the warranty. Have your LCD TV repaired by qualified service personnel only. Warnings and precautions Do not place your hands, face, or objects close to the ventilation openings of your LCD TV. The top of your LCD TV gets very hot from exhaust air that is released through the ventilation openings. Burns or personal injuries may occur if you are too close to the LCD TV. Damage may occur if you place any object near the top of your LCD TV. Disconnect all cables before moving your LCD TV. Moving your LCD TV with its cables attached may damage the cables and cause fire or electric shock danger. Do not expose your LCD TV to rain or moisture. Keep your LCD TV away from excessive dust, high temperatures, moisture, or direct sunlight. Use your LCD TV in a well-ventilated area and do not cover the ventilation openings. Do not modify your LCD TV or use an unshielded power cord or video input source cable, or you may experience excessive interference. Disconnect your LCD TV and unplug the power cord when the TV is not used for a long period of time. If the picture displayed is in any way abnormal, turn off your LCD TV, then disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Make sure that your video input source cable is connected correctly, then reconnect your LCD TV to the electrical outlet. Disconnect your LCD TV from the electrical outlet before cleaning or performing maintenance. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Do not place your LCD TV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Your LCD TV may fall, causing serious damage. www.gateway.com 3 Chapter 1: Introducing Your Gateway LCD TV Do not place your LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surfaces. Never place your LCD TV near or over a radiator or heat source. Do not install your LCD TV in an enclosed area unless correct ventilation is provided. Your LCD TV should be operated from the type of power source indicated on the label. If the type of available power is unknown, consult your electrician or local power company. Your LCD TV is equipped with a 3-pin grounded plug. The plug will only fit into a grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. If you cannot plug the power cord into the outlet, contact your electrician. Do not alter the plug because this will defeat the safety feature. Do not rest objects on the power cord and avoid placing the power cord near high traffic areas. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords because this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Unplug your LCD TV and contact qualified service personnel if: The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. Liquid has been spilled into your LCD TV. Your LCD TV has been exposed to water or moisture. Your LCD TV does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Incorrect adjustment of other controls may result in damage which often requires extensive work by a qualified technician to restore your LCD TV to normal operation. Your LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. 4 www.gateway.com Package contents Package contents Along with your LCD TV, the packaging box contains the following items: Remote control Two AA batteries CATV cable www.gateway.com 5 Chapter 1: Introducing Your Gateway LCD TV Composite cable (AV cable) Power cord User guide Remote control user guide 6 www.gateway.com Package contents Optional speaker package contents Along with your optional speakers, the speaker packaging box contains the following items: Mounting brackets - And - Screws Audio cables www.gateway.com 7 Chapter 1: Introducing Your Gateway LCD TV Accessories You can purchase these optional accessories for your LCD TV: Cable kits.

You should use the best connection available to get the best display. For example, if your DVD player supports a component video connection, connect the DVD player to your LCD TV using component video instead of composite video or S-Video. Connection Quality Basic Cable and Connector Description Coaxial (RF). The video and audio signals are both carried in one cable (the other three connection types only handle video, and require separate connections for sound). Coaxial is the only way to connect an antenna to your LCD TV. Composite. The video signal is carried through a single "pin." This connection method is the one that is most commonly found on devices. Good Better S-Video. The video signal is split into two signals, black-and-white and color. Text displayed on-screen through this connection will be noticeably sharper then composite or coaxial (RF). Best Component. The video signal is split into three signals, two color, and one black-and-white. Use component video to take advantage of the superior picture provided by signal sources such as HDTV and progressive DVD. 16 www.gateway.com Connecting your DVD player Connecting your DVD player If you have a progressive-scan DVD player, connect it using Component DVD Video/Audio in.
