To reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock, and other injuries, keep these safety precautions in mind when installing, using, and maintaining your machine. · Read all safety and operating instructions before operating your LCD TV. · Keep the safety and operating instructions for future reference. · Heed all warnings on the LCD TV and in the operating instructions. · Follow all operating and use instructions. · Unplug the LCD TV from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use a damp cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. · Never add any attachments and/or equipment without approval of the manufacturer. Such additions can increase the risk of fire, electric shock, or other personal injury. · Do not use the LCD TV where contact with or immersion in water is a possibility, such as near bath tubs, sinks, washing machines, swimming pools, etc. · Do not place the LCD TV on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table where it can fall. A falling LCD TV can cause serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the appliance. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the LCD TV. Follow the manufacturer's instructions when mounting the unit, and use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer. Move the LCD TV and cart with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces can make the unit and cart unsteady and likely to overturn. · Provide ventilation for the LCD TV. The unit is designed with slots in the cabinet for ventilation to protect it from overheating. Do not block these openings with any object, and do not place the LCD TV on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. Do not place it near a radiator or heat register. If you place the LCD TV on a rack or bookcase, ensure that there is adequate ventilation and that you've followed the manufacturer's instructions for mounting. · Operate your LCD TV only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your appliance dealer or local power company. · Use only a grounded or polarized outlet. For your safety, this LCD TV is equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug having one blade wider than the other. This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact your electrician to replace your outlet. · Protect the power cord. Power supply cords should be routed so that they won't be walked on or pinched by objects placed on or against them. Pay particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the unit. · Unplug the LCD TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system during a lightning storm or when left unattended and unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the unit due to lightning and power-line surges. 3 Safety Instructions Important Safety Information · Avoid overhead power lines. An outside antenna system should not be placed 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, be extremely careful to keep from touching the power lines or circuits. Contact with such lines can be fatal. · Do not overload the wall outlet or extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock. · Do not insert anything through the openings in the unit, where they can touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. Never spill liquid of any kind on the LCD TV. · Ground outdoor antennas. If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the LCD TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about 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.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Unplug the unit from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: - when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged - if liquid has been spilled on the unit or if objects have fallen into the unit - if the LCD TV has been exposed to rain or water - if the LCD TV does not operate normally by following the operating instructions - if the LCD TV has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged - when the LCD TV exhibits a distinct change in performance · If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the LCD TV to normal. · When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit. · Upon completion of any service or repairs to this LCD TV, ask the service technician to perform safety checks to determine that the TV is in a safe operating condition.

it faces slightly downward from your eyes, and maintain a distance of at least 15 inches from your eyes to the panel. · Adjust the illumination as well as the brightness and contrast of the LCD screen so that light reflection is minimized (300~1000 lux illumination is comfortable for your eyes). · Recommended computer use time is 6 hours per day or less. Also, taking a break of 10~15 minutes per hour is recommended. Keep a consistent distance between your eyes and the key items in your work area (screen, document, keyboard, etc.). 7 Using an LCD Mounting Arm Mounting Arm Requirements You can use a variety of wall mount arms with your LCD TV. However, they must meet the following requirements: Must comply with VESA Mount Interface 75mm standard. Must be able to sustain the weight of the LCD TV. Refer to the installation manual supplied with the arm for proper setup. Mounting Arm Installation 1. Remove all cables connected to the LCD TV. 2. Lay the LCD TV face down on a flat surface with a cushion or some type of soft material to protect the screen. 3. Using a screwdriver, remove the screws attached to the stand. 4. Follow the directions for your mounting bracket. 8 Care and Maintenance Maintenance of the Exterior Cabinet Use a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use strong solvents such as alcohol, benzine, or thinner, as these might damage the surface of the unit. Do not use volatile liquids, such as insecticide spray, near the unit. Do not leave rubber or plastic products in contact with the unit for a long period of time. They may leave marks on the surface. Maintenance of the LCD Screen To clean the LCD screen, wipe the surface of the panel with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaner except those specifically designed for LCD screens. Best Distance for TV Viewing As a rule of thumb, watch TV from a distance of about 5~7 times the screen size to prevent eye strain, in this case about 7-10 feet. For Optimal Use Since the surface of the screen is fragile, do not scratch or bump it with any hard object (e.g., any object harder than an HB pencil). Do not clean the surface with water. 9 Before Using the TV LCD TV Overview Front View 1 MENU : Brings up the on-screen menu. 2 VOLUME : Increases or decreases the volume.
