No user serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel only. Keep display away from excessive dust, high temperature, moisture or direct sunlight. Use in a well-ventilated area and do not cover ventilation openings. Unauthorized modifications to this equipment or usage of an unshielded connecting cable may cause excessive interference. When the display is not in use, disconnect it from the electric outlet. If the picture displayed is in any way abnormal, turn off the unit and disconnect it from the electric outlet. Verify your signal wire connections and reconnect the display to the electric outlet. Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand or table. The product may fall, causing serious damage. Do not place the unit on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surfaces. Never place the unit near or over a radiator or heat source. Do not install unit in an enclosed area unless proper ventilation is provided. The unit should be operated from the type of power source indicated on the label. If the type of available power is unknown, consult your dealer or local power company. The unit 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 are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact your electrician. Do not alter this plug as this will defeat the safety feature. Power cord not lighter than H05VV-F, 3G, 0.75mm2 shall be used. Do not rest objects on the power cord & avoid placing power cord near high traffic areas. Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Unplug the display from the electric outlet and disconnect the antenna/cable TV system during a lightning storm or when left unused for long periods of time. This will prevent damage to the display caused by lightning and power-line surges. Avoid overhead power lines. An outdoor antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of overhead power lines, electric lights, or power circuits. When installing an outdoor antenna, be careful to not touch any power lines or circuits as contact with these lines can be fatal. Do not insert any foreign objects through the ventilation openings to the display. It may touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. 2 Important Safety Instructions If an outdoor antenna or cable system is connected to the display, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charge buildups. 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. If this display is equipped with separate speakers, please remove the speakers prior to moving the display. Moving the display with the speakers attached may cause damage or injury. Disconnect the unit from the main supply and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: - Power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. - Liquid has been spilled into the product and/or the unit has been exposed to water or moisture. - Unit does not operate normally when the operating instructions are not followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage which often requires extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation. - Unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. - Unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service. Cleaning & Maintenance Disconnect from the electric outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Special Warranty Information Cell Defects Although the display panels are produced with more than 99% percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit. This is considered normal and not a manufacturer defect. 3 Regulatory Notice FCC Statement The Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement includes the following warning: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
