DIGITAL TELEVISION TRANSITION NOTICE

English

DIGITAL TELEVISION TRANSITION NOTICE

This device contains a digital television tuner, so it should receive digital over the air

TV programming, with a suitable antenna, after the end of full-power analog TV

broadcasting in the United States on June 12, 2009. The nationwide switch to digital

television broadcasting will be complete on June 12, 2009, but your local television

stations may switch sooner. After the switch, analog-only television sets that receive

TV programming through an antenna will need a converter box to continue to receive

over-the-air TV. Watch your local stations to find out when they will turn off their

analog signal and switch to digital-only broadcasting.

For more information, call the FCC at 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) or see

www.DTV.gov. For information on the TV Converter program, and on government

coupons that may be used toward the purchase of one, see www.dtv2009.gov, or call

the NTIA at 1-888-DTV-2009.

AVISO RELATIVO A LA TRANSICIÓN A TELEVISIÓN

DIGITAL

Este equipo incorpora un sintonizador de televisión digital, lo que le permitirá recibir

una programación digital televisada por aire, con una antena adecuada, cuando se

terminará la transmisión de alta potencia de la televisión analógica en los Estados

Unidos el 12 de Junio de 2009. Ciertos receptores de televisión antiguos, si

dependen de una antena de TV, necesitarán un conversor de TV para recibir por el

aire una programación digital, pero seguirán funcionando como antes para otros

usos (por ejemplo para ver emisoras de TV de baja potencia que todavía transmiten

en analógico, para ver películas pregrabadas, o para utilizar sus videojuegos).

Para obtener más información, llame FCC 1-888-CALL-FCC (1-888-225-5322) o

refiérase a www.DTV.gov. Para toda información sobre el programa de conversores

de TV, y acerca de los cupones del gobierno que se pueden usar para comprarlos,

refiérase a www.dtv2009.gov, o llame al NTIA al 1-888-DTV-2009.

NOTICES

Important Notices Concerning Power Cord Selection

The specific power cord for this LCD TV is enclosed and has been selected

according to the country of destination. Use the enclosed power cord to prevent

electric shock. Observe the following guidelines if it is necessary to replace the

original cord set, or if there is no cord set enclosed. The female receptacle of the

cord set must meet IEC-60320 requirements and should look like Figure A1 below:

Figure A1 Figure A2

For the United States and Canada

In the United States and Canada the male plug is a NEMA5-15 style (Figure A2),

UL-listed, and CSA-labeled. For LCD TVs that are to be placed on a desk or table,

type SVT or SJT cord sets may be used. For LCD TVs that are to be placed directly

on the floor, only SJT type cord sets may be used. The cord set must be selected

according to the current rating for the LCD TV. Consult the table below for the

selection criteria of power cords used in the United States and Canada.

FCC COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

This equipment has been tested and complies with the limits for a Class B digital

device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide

reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and may cause

harmful interference to radio communications if not installed and used in accordance

with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio

or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and

on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the

following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the distance between the LCD TV and the receiver.

• Connect the LCD TV to an outlet on a circuit separate from to which the

receiver is connected.

• if the interference persists even after performing the above measures,

consult the Westinghouse Service Center or an experienced radio/TV

technician for assistance.

FCC Warning

To assure continued FCC compliance, use a grounded power supply cord and the

provided shielded video interface cable with bonded ferrite cores. If a BNC cable is

used, use only a shielded BNC (5) cable. Also, any unauthorized changes or

modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer will void the user's

authority to operate this device.

• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the

manufacturer’s instructions.

• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers,

stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

• 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

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.

• Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long

periods of time.

• 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.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

English

Circuit Overload

Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or power strips. This can result in a fire

or electronic shock.

Power Cord Protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or

pinched by items placed upon or against them. Periodically inspect the cords for

damage. Install the LCD TV near a wall socket outlet where the power cord can be

readily accessed.

Ventilation

The slots and openings on the cabinet are provided for necessary ventilation. To

ensure reliable operation of the LCD TV and to protect it from overheating, these

slots and openings must never be blocked or covered.

Never cover the slots and openings with a cloth or other materials.

Do not block the openings by placing the LCD TV on a bed, sofa,

rug or other similar surface.

Do not place the LCD TV in a built-in installation such as a

bookcase or a rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the

manufacturer’s instructions have been adhered to.

Safety: Lamp Disposal

Lamp(s) inside this product contain mercury and must be recycled or disposed of

according to local, state or federal laws. For more information, contact the electronic

industries alliance at www.eiae.org.
