Safety check
After completing any service or repair to this TV, ask the service
technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that your TV is
in correct operating condition.
Power source
Operate your 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 TV dealer or local power company.
Lightning
For added protection for your TV’s receiver during a lightning storm, or
when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug
it from the power outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
This helps prevent damage to your TV from lightning and power line
surges.
Screen protection
Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop your TV or hit the glass
screen. If the screen breaks, be careful of broken glass.
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.
Power lines
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of
overhead power lines or other electric light of 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.
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.
