5 Important Safety Precautions Cleaning Unplug the AC cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to clean the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Water and moisture Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement. Do not place vases or any other water-filled containers on this product. The water may spill onto the product causing fire or electric shock. The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impact applied. If the LCD panel is broken be careful not to be injured by broken glass. Heat sources Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products (including amplifiers). To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the TV set. Stand Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing so can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer. When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the cart. Ventilation The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer s instructions are followed. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC power cord under the TV set or other heavy items. The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 6,0,800 thin film transistors, giving you fine picture details. Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault. Precautions when transporting the Display When transporting the Display, never carry it by holding onto the speakers. Be sure to always carry the Display by two people holding it with two hands one hand on each side of the display. Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain. Selecting the location Select a place with no direct sunlight and good ventilation.
