1. Outdoor Antenna Grounding  
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product be sure the antenna or cable system  
is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges, Article  
810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, provides information with regard to proper  
grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge  
unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.  
2. Lightning  
For added protection for this product during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused  
for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.  
This will prevent damage to the product due to lightning and power-line surges. Do not disconnect the  
antenna or the power cord during a heavy storm lighting may strike while you are holding the cable  
cord, causing serious injury; turn off your LCD TV and wait for the weather to improve.  
3. Power Lines  
An outside antenna system should not be located in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other  
electric light or 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.

Care and cleaning information  
• Always turn off the display and disconnect it from the mains power before cleaning.  
• Do NOT use cream, liquid, aerosol or spray cleaners. Use only a slightly damp well  
wrung-out (drip-free) and lint-free, clean soft cloth and lightly wipe the display.  
If necessary, use a pH-neutral liquid dish-washing detergent diluted with water on a  
separate clean lint-free cloth to remove oil or grease marks. Wipe over again with a  
cleandry lint-free cloth to remove any smear marks.  
• Under close examination and in certain circumstances, you may notice that a few  
non-active pixels appear on the screen as a fixed point of colour. Please note that this  
does not affect the performance of your product as it is usually not visible at normal  
viewing distances.  
• If the display is not going to be used for an extended period of time (like when you  
are going away for holidays), it should be switched off and unplugged from the wall  
outlet. You should also consider removing the batteries from the remote control (as  
they may leak)  
• LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screens, like plasma and conventional CRT (Cathode  
Ray Tube) screens, are also susceptible to ‘screen burn-in’ or ‘image retention’ which  
can be found on the screen as visible fixed lines and shades and can’t be removed.  
If the circumstance is caused due to improper use by the user (such as the left and  
right straight lines occurred from displaying still pictures for long periods of time,  
the channel logos, etc.), an appropriate service fee should be charged. To avoid such  
permanent damage to the screen, it is advisable to take the following preventive  
actions:  
(1) Avoid displaying still (inactive) image s for more than two hours.  
(2) Change the screen image aspect ratio from time to time.  
(3) If it is necessary to display still images for a long time, lower the contrast and  
brightness.  
(4) The LCD monitor is designed for use in normal home environment, do not use it  
in any other place, such as public places.  
What's next?  
You have reached the end of Section 1: Quick Start Guide. By now, you should have a  
reasonable understanding of your new LCD TV and its controls, know how to install,  
connect, turn on and how to care for and maintain it.  
Should you wish to maximize your viewing experience pleasure, Section 2 of this  
booklet contains the User Manual which describes how to customise the display  
settings to suit your preferences and viewing environment. It details the features  
and functions of the display and provides product specifications and troubleshooting  
information for your further assistance.
