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 crate or 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:
•
One size of wall mount does not fit all. 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.
•
•
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.

DX-24L230A12/DX-32L220A12/DX-46L261A12
Important safety instructions
16 An apparatus with three-prong, grounding-type
plug is a Class I apparatus, which needs to be
grounded to prevent possible electric shock. Make
sure that you connect the Class I apparatus to a
grounding-type, three-prong outlet.
17 Remote control batteries should not be exposed to
excessive heat such as sunshine, fire, or the like.
18 The apparatus should not be exposed to dripping or
splashing, and no objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, should be placed on the apparatus.
Important safety instructions
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC
SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
This symbol indicates that dangerous
voltage constituting a risk of electric
shock is present within your TV. This
label is located on the back of your TV.
Warnings
Electric shock hazard
This symbol indicates that there are
important operating and maintenance
instructions in the literature
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not remove
any cover or expose the device to rain or moisture. No
user-serviceable parts are inside. Refer servicing to
qualified service technicians.
accompanying your TV.
1 Read these instructions.
2 Keep these instructions.
3 Heed all warnings.
4 Follow all instructions.
5 Do not use this apparatus near water.
6 Clean only with a dry cloth.
Lightning
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.
7 Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
Power lines
8 Do not install near any heat sources such as
radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus
(including amplifiers) that produce heat.
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.
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.
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
• 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.
11 Only use attachments/accessories specified by the
manufacturer.
12 Use only with a cart, stand, tripod,
bracket, or table specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the
apparatus. When a cart is used, use
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.
14 Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has been
damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or
plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects
have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has
been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate
normally, or has been dropped.
Replacement parts
When replacement parts are required, make sure that the
service technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as
the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in
fire, electric shock, personal injury, or other hazards.
Safety check
After completing any service or repair to this device, ask
the service technician to perform routine safety checks to
determine that your TV is in correct operating condition.
15 The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug
must remain readily operable.

Important safety instructions
DX-24L230A12/DX-32L220A12/DX-46L261A12
Power source
Note to CATV system installer
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.
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
Condensation
Damage requiring service
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.
Unplug this TV from the power outlet and refer servicing
to qualified service personnel under the following
conditions:
• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged or
frayed.
• If liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into
your TV.
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.
• 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.
End of life directives
• If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
• When your TV exhibits a distinct change in
performance.
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.
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.
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.

Using closed captioning
Closed captions (CC or subtitles) are intended to provide
people who are hearing impaired with access to TV
programs. However, this feature is also useful for viewers
who are learning a new language, beginning to read, or in
a noisy environment. Text captions are displayed to
transcribe speech and often other relevant sounds.
Closed captioning availability and content depends on
the broadcaster and may vary across programs in a
channel.
