Important safety instructions

DX-24L200A12

Power source

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.

Cautions

Damage requiring service

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.

• 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 often require 
extensive work by a qualified technician to restore 
your TV to its normal operation.

• If your TV has been dropped or damaged in any way.
• When your TV exhibits a distinct change in 

performance.

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.

Note to CATV system installer

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. 

Condensation

Moisture forms 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. 
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. 

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

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.

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.
