IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS (Continued)

I If an outside antenna is connected to the television equipment, be sure the antenna system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code 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, Iocation of antenna-discharge unit, connection to grounding elec- trodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. I 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. ANTENNA LEAD IN WIRE ANTENNA DISCHARGE UNIT (NEC SECTION 810-20) GROUNDING CONDUCTORS (NEC SECTION 810-21) GROUND CLAMPS POWER SERVICE GROUNDING ELECTRODE SYSTEM (NEC ART 250, PART H) ELECTRIC SERVICE EQUIPMENT NEC—NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE GROUND CLAMP EXAMPLE OF ANTENNA GROUNDING AS PER NATIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE I For added protection for this television equipment 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. This will prevent damage to the equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.

Batteries for the Remote Control

Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, install two (“AAA” size, UM/SUM-4) batteries (supplied). When the batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new (“AAA” size, UM/SUM-4) batteries. 1 Open the battery cover. 2 Insert two (“AAA” size, UM/ SUM-4) batteries. 3 Close the battery cover. I Slide the cover while pressing the (b) part. I Position the positive and negative ends of the batteries as indicated in the compart- ment. Caution! Cautions regarding batteries Improper use of batteries can result in chemical leakage and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instruc- tions below. • Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications. • Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types. • Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new battery and/or cause the old battery to leak chemicals. • Remove batteries when they become weak. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical leakage is found, wipe with a cloth. • The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions. • If the remote control will not be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control. Using the Remote Control I Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window on the main unit. Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper operation. Cautions regarding use of remote control I Do not expose the remote control to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote control to liquid, and do not place in an area with high humidity. I Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation of the unit. I The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the main unit is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such case, change the angle of the lighting or LCD TV set, or operate the remote control closer to the remote sensor window. + – + – I Engage the claw on the cover into the battery housing and slide shut.

I V-CHIP • This function allows TV programs to be restricted and TV usage to be controlled based on FCC data. It prevents children from watching violent or sexual scenes that may be harmful. • Restriction of TV programs includes two ratings that contain information about the program: the MPAA rating and the TV Parental Guidelines. The MPAA rating is restricted by age. TV Parental Guidelines are restricted by age and content. • Since a TV program may use either the MPAA rating or the TV Guidelines, both should be adjusted for complete control. [1] MPAA RATING MPAA RATING (examples) Example 1: PG-13 in the age-based rating is blocked, this will also automatically block the higher ratings R, NC-17 and X. Example 2: R in the age-based rating is blocked, this will also automatically block the higher ratings NC-17 and X. ote: A • The MPAA rating is only age-based. RATING G GENERAL AUDIENCES. All ages admitted. PG PARENTAL GUIDANCE SUGGESTED. Some material may not be suitable for children. PG-13 PARENTS STRONGLY CAUTIONED. Some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. R RESTRICTED. Under 17 requires accompanying parent or adult guardian. NC-17 NO ONE 17 AND UNDER ADMITTED. X X is an older rating that is unified with NC-17 but may be encoded in the data of older movies.: age base ADJUSTMENT (Continued)

In addition, D, L, S, V and FV in CONTENT are automatically blocked unless you manually set BLOCK CONTENT. Example 2: When no item in the age-based rating is blocked, D in the content-based rating will be automatically blocked. A • Age-based ratings can be modified by the content-based ratings, but only in the combinations indicated by an X in the table above. • Choosing a lower age-based rating blocks the higher age-based ratings regardless of content rating settings. • If you set TV-Y and TV-Y7 to BLOCK, CONTENT will display all items.

• The reception may be weak.

• The state of the broadcast may also be bad. • Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction. • Make sure the outside antenna is not disconnected. The picture is not sharp. TROUBLESHOOTING (Continued) The picture moves. The picture is doubled or tripled. • Make sure the antenna is facing the right direction. • There may be reflected electric waves from mountains or buildings. The picture is spotted. • There may be interference from automobiles, trains, high voltage lines, neon lights, etc. • There may be interference between the antenna cable and AC cord. Try positioning them further apart. There are stripes on the screen or colors fade. • Is the unit receiving interference from other devices? Transmission antennas of radio broadcasting stations, transmis- sion antennas of amateur radios and cellular phones may also cause interference. • Use the unit as far apart as possible from devices that may cause possible interference. I 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 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 LCD panel to malfunction. Storage temperature: –4°F to +140°F (–20°C to +60°C)
