IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
CHILD SAFETY  
It Makes A Difference How and Where You Use Your Flat Panel Display  
Congratulations on your purchase! As you enjoy your new product, please keep these safety tips  
in mind:  
THE ISSUE  
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend and larger  
flat panel displays are popular purchases. However, flat panel displays are  
not always supported on the proper stands or installed according to the  
manufacturer’s recommendations.  
Flat panel displays that are inappropriately situated on dressers, bookcases,  
shelves, desks, speakers, chests or carts may fall over and cause injury.  
THIS MANUFACTURER CARES!  
The consumer electronics industry is committed to making home  
entertainment enjoyable and safe.  
TUNE INTO SAFETY  
One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for  
the safe installation and use of your flat panel display.  
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for proper use of this  
product.  
Don’t allow children to climb on or play with furniture and television sets.  
Don’t place flat panel displays on furniture that can easily be used as steps,  
such as a chest of drawers.  
Remember that children can become excited while watching a program,  
especially on a “larger than life” flat panel display. Care should be taken  
to place or install the display where it cannot be pushed, pulled over, or  
knocked down.  
Care should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the flat  
panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.  
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT YOUR FLAT PANEL DISPLAY,  
ALWAYS:  
Use a mount that has been recommended by the display manufacturer and/or listed by an  
independent laboratory (such as UL, CSA, ETL).  
Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall mount manufacturers.  
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely install your flat panel display, contact your retailer  
about professional installation.  
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the display is appropriate. Some wall mounts are not  
designed to be mounted to walls with steel studs or old cinder block construction. If you are unsure,  
contact a professional installer.  
A minimum of two people are required for installation. Flat panel displays can be heavy.  
Note: CEA is the preeminent trade association promoting growth in  
the $161 billion U.S. consumer electronics industry. More than 2,200  
companies enjoy the benefits of CEA membership, including legislative  
advocacy, market research, technical training and education, industry

Preparation  
Antennas  
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of  
the types of connections that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses  
a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, plug it into the antenna terminal at the  
rear of the TV set.  
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round  
F-type connector  
cable with F-type connector that can  
75-ohm coaxial cable  
(round)  
easily be attached to a terminal without  
tools (Commercially available).  
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead”  
cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm  
terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter  
(Commercially available).  
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)  
When connecting the RF cable to the TV set,  
do not tighten F-type connector with tools.

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments  
When the unit is used in a low temperature space (e.g. room, office), the picture  
may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will  
recover when the temperature returns to normal.  
Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location  
exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform  
and the Liquid Crystal panel to malfunction.
