Safety information
Safety information
Warning: Your TV contains tin-lead solder and a fluorescent lamp
containing a small amount of mercury. Disposal of these materials
may be regulated for environmental reasons. For disposal or recycling
information, contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries
Alliance at www.eia.org.
Important safety instructions
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use your TV near water.
6 Clean the cabinet with a dry cloth only.
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that
produce heat.
9 Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or
grounding-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 is
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into
your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete
outlet.
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched
particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point
where they exit from your TV.
11 Only use attachments or accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12 Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or
table specified by the manufacturer.
13 Unplug your TV during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
15 Servicing is required when your TV has been damaged in any
way, such as the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid
has been spilled or objects have fallen into your TV, your TV has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or
has been dropped.
16 Do not overload wall outlets. Overloaded wall outlets, loose or
damaged wall outlets, extension cords, frayed power cords, or
damaged or cracked wire insulation are dangerous. Any of these
conditions could result in electric shock or fire. Periodically
examine the cord of your TV, and if its appearance indicates
damage or deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of your TV,
and have the cord replaced with an exact replacement part by an
authorized service person. Protect the power cord from physical
or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted, kinked, pinched,
closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to
plugs, wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits your TV.
17 Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to prevent
possible electric shock. If grounding methods are not possible,
have a qualified electrician install a separate circuit breaker. Do
not try to ground the unit by connecting it to telephone wires,
lightening rods, or gas pipes.
18 The main plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain
readily operable.
Non-active pixels
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors, which
provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally, a few nonactive
pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed blue, green, or red point.
These non-active pixels do not adversely affect the performance of your
TV, and are not considered defects.
Outdoor antenna grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to your TV, make sure
that the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some
protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Article
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No. 70, provides
information with respect to correct grounding of the mast and
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna
discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of the
antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and
requirements for the grounding electrode.
Note to CATV system installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer’s attention to
Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for correct grounding
and in particular, specifies that the cable ground must be connected to
the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry
as practical.
Caution
To prevent electric shock, match the wide blade on the power
cord plug to the wide slot on an electric outlet. If the plug does
not fit, consult a licensed electrician to replace the obsolete
outlet. Do not modify the power cord plug, or you will defeat
this safety feature.
This symbol indicates that dangerous
voltage constituting a risk of electric shock is
present within your TV. This label is located
on the back of your TV.
This symbol indicates that there are
important operating and maintenance
instructions in the literature accompanying
your TV.
