CHILD SAFETY  
It makes a difference how and where you use  
your flat panel display  
As you enjoy your new product, keep these  
safety tips in mind  
The issue  
The home theater entertainment experience is a growing trend, and larger TVs are popular  
purchases. However, TVs are not always supported on the proper stands or installed  
according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. We and the consumer electronics  
industry are committed to making home entertainment enjoyable and safe.  
TVs that are inappropriately placed on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,  
chests, or carts may fall over and cause injury.  
Tune into safety  
One size of TV stand does not fit all. Use only a TV stand  
rated for the weight of your TV.  
Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for  
proper use of this product.  
Don’t let children climb on or play with entertainment system  
furniture and TVs.  
Don’t place TVs 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” TV. Make sure  
that you place or install the TV where it cannot be pushed,  
pulled over, or knocked down.  
Make sure that you route all cords and cables so that they  
cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious children.  
Wall mounting  
If you decide to wall mount your TV, always remember:  
Use only a wall mount rated for the weight of your TV and that has been recommended  
by this TV manufacturer, listed in this manual, or otherwise listed by an independent  
laboratory as suitable for your TV. One size of wall mount does not fit all.  
Follow all instructions supplied by the TV and wall mount manufacturers.  
If you have any doubts about your ability to safely wall mount your TV, get help from a  
professional installer.  
Make sure that the wall where you are mounting the TV is  
appropriate. Some wall mounts are not designed to be mounted  
to walls backed with steel studs or cinder blocks. If you are  
unsure, ask a professional installer.  
TVs can be heavy. At least two people are required for safe wall mount installation.

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 are provided for your safety. If  
the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,  
consult an electrician for replacement of the  
obsolete outlet.  
For added protection for your device 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 any antenna or cable  
system. This helps prevent property damage and  
personal injury from lightning and power line  
surges.  
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.  
10 Protect the power cord from being walked on or  
pinched particularly at plugs, convenience  
receptacles, and the point where they exit from  
the apparatus.  
Handling the LCD panel  
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by  
• Your TV’s screen is made of glass. Do not drop  
your TV or hit, jolt, or press hard against the LCD  
panel. If the screen breaks, be careful of broken  
glass.  
• If the LCD panel is broken, make absolutely sure  
that you do not touch the liquid in the panel.  
This may cause skin inflammation.  
• If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately  
gargle, rinse, and consult with your doctor. Also,  
if the liquid gets in your eyes or touches your  
skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for at  
least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.

caution when moving the  
cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury  
from tip-over.  
13 Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms  
or when unused for long periods of time.

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 an  
electrician or your local power company.  
Note to CATV system installer  
Article 820 of the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPA No. 40 provides guidance for correct  
grounding. Specifically, it states that the cable  
ground must be connected to the grounding system  
of the building as close to the point of cable entry as  
practical.  
Cautions  
Damage requiring service  
Unplug this TV from the power outlet and refer  
servicing to qualified service personnel under the  
following conditions:  
Condensation  
Moisture will form on the TV if the TV is brought  
from cool surroundings into a warm room or if the  
temperature of the room rises suddenly. When this  
happens, the TV's performance may be impaired. To  
prevent this, let the TV stand in its new surroundings  
for about an hour before switching it on, or make  
sure that the room temperature rises gradually.  
Condensation may also form during the summer if  
the TV is exposed to the breeze from an air  
conditioner. In such cases, change the location of the  
TV.  
• When the power supply cord or plug is  
damaged or frayed.  
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen  
into your TV.  
• If your TV has been exposed to rain or water.  
• If your TV does not operate normally by  
following the operating instructions. Adjust  
only those controls that are covered by the  
operating instructions because incorrect  
adjustment of other controls may result in  
damage and will often require extensive work  
by a qualified technician to restore your TV to its  
normal operation.  
Mobile telephone warning  
To avoid interference with your TV picture and  
sound, operating problems, or even damage, keep  
your cordless and cellular telephones away from the  
TV.  
• If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any  
way.  
• When your TV exhibits a distinct change in  
performance.  
End of life directives  
Outdoor antenna grounding  
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. Your TV also contains  
material that can be recycled and reused. For  
disposal or recycling information, contact your local  
authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance at  
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.  
Non-active pixels  
The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film  
transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp video  
quality. Occasionally, a few non-active 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.
