SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING!

Removing the screws and opening up the chassis of the LCD display may cause risk of electric shock. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Opening the chassis of the LCD display will void the warranty. Have your LCD TV repaired by qualified service personnel only.

Note! For power switch, power cable, input/output jacks, and cable management you need to remove the protective back cover provided with the LCD TV.

• Do not place your hands, face, or objects close to the ventilation openings of your LCD TV. The top of your LCD TV gets very hot from exhaust air that is released through the ventilation openings. Burns or personal injuries may occur if you are too close to the LCD TV. Damage may occur if you place any object near the top of your LCD TV.

• Disconnect all cables before moving your LCD TV. Moving your LCD TV with its cables attached may damage the cables and cause fire or electric shock danger.

• Do not expose your LCD TV to rain or moisture.

• Keep your LCD TV away from excessive dust, high temperatures, moisture, or direct sunlight.

• Use your LCD TV in a well-ventilated area and do not cover the ventilation openings.

• Do not modify your LCD TV or use an unshielded power cord or video input source cable, or you may experience excessive interference.

• Disconnect your LCD TV and unplug the power cord when the TV is not used for a long period of time.

• If the picture displayed is in any way abnormal, turn off your LCD TV, then disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Make sure that your video input source cable is connected correctly, then reconnect your LCD TV to the electrical outlet.

• Disconnect your LCD TV from the electrical outlet before cleaning or performing maintenance. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a slightly damp cloth for cleaning.

• Do not place your LCD TV on an unstable cart, stand, or table. Your LCD TV may fall, causing serious damage.

BEFORE YOU START

What’s in the Box? When you receive your LCD TV, unpack it carefully, and check to make sure you have all the items below.

REMOTE CONTROL AND two AAA BATTERIES POWER CORD RF CABLE1-2

The following are optional accessories you may purchase for your LCD TV:

CABLE KITS
Cable kits consist of high-quality cables with gold-plated connectors of various lengths for connecting audio and video devices to your LCD TV. Below are some examples:

• DVI-D video cable
• RCA audio cable
• RCA component video cable
• RCA composite video cable
• S-Video cable
• VGA video cable

WALL MOUNT KIT
The wall mount kit contains all of the required hardware for mounting your LCD TV on your wall. It is highly recommended that you find a qualified installer to do this.

Inserting Batteries into the Remote Control
Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, insert two AAA batteries (supplied). When the batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new batteries.

TO INSERT BATTERIES

1. Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote control.

2. Insert two AAA batteries into the remote control. Make sure that you match the + and - on the batteries with the + and - symbols inside the battery compartment.

3. Close the battery cover by aligning it with the base of the remote control and sliding it back into place.

Turning ON the Power

1. Connect the power cord to the power cord connector on the back of your
LCD TV (see Back Connectors), and then plug the other end of the power
cord into a correctly grounded electrical outlet or surge protector.

2. Press the Main Power switch next to the power cord connector on the LCD TV. The Status LED on the front turns orange and your LCD TV is ready to turn on.

3. Press the POWER button on the front of your LCD TV or on your remote
control. The Status LED on the front turns green, and the unit turns on.

WARNING!

If you will be away for an extended period of time, turn off your LCD TV with the Main Power switch instead of using the remote control or front POWER button. For added protection during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or unused for long periods of time, unplug your LCD TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system.
