IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
(Continued from previous page)
20. Grounding
Ensure that you connect the earth ground wire to pre-
vent possible electric shock (i.e., a TV with a three-
prong grounded AC plug must be connected to a
three-prong grounded AC outlet). 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.
21. Disconnect Device
The mains plug is the disconnecting device. The plug
must remain readily operable.
As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall outlet,
it is not disconnected from the AC power source even
if you turn off this unit by SWITCH.
22. Outdoor Antenna Grounding
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to
the product, follow the precautions below.
An outdoor antenna system should not be located in
the vicinity of overhead power lines or other electric
light or power circuits or where it can come into con-
tact with such power lines or circuits as death or seri-
ous injury can occur.
Be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to pro-
vide some protection against voltage surges and built-
up static charges.
Article 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC) in the
U.S.A. provides information with respect to 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 elec-
trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

23. Cleaning
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and rub gently
with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do not spray
water or other liquids directly on the TV as electric
shock may occur. Do not clean with chemicals such as
alcohol, thinners or benzene.
24. Transporting Product
Make sure the product is turned Off and unplugged
and that all cables have been removed. It may take
two or more people to carry larger TVs. Do not press
against or put stress on the front panel of the TV.
25. Ventilation
Install the TV where there is proper ventilation. Do not
install in a confined space such as a bookcase. Do not
cover the product with cloth or other materials (e.g.,
plastic) while it is plugged in. Do not install in exces-
sively dusty places.
26. Do not touch the ventilation openings, as they may
become hot while the TV is operating.
27. If you smell smoke or other odors coming from the TV
or hear strange sounds, unplug the power cord, and
contact an authorized service center.
28. Do not press strongly on the panel with a hand or
sharp object (e.g., a nail, pencil, or pen) or make a
scratch on it.
29. Keep the product away from direct sunlight.
30. For LCD TV
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small
“flicker” when it is turned On. This is normal; there is
nothing wrong with TV. Some minute dot defects may
be visible on the screen, appearing as tiny red, green,
or blue spots. However, they have no adverse effect
on the monitor’s performance. Avoid touching the LCD
screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long peri-
ods of time. Doing so may produce some temporary
distortion effects on the screen.
