ViewSonic N2201w Lightning For added protection for your TV's receiver during a lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the power outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable system. This helps prevent damage to your TV from lightning and power line surges. Servicing Do not attempt to service your TV yourself because opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Replacement parts When replacement parts are required, make sure that the service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electric shock, personal injury, or other hazards. Overloading Do not overload power outlets and extension cords because this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock. Object and liquid entry Never push objects of any kind into your TV through openings because objects may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on your TV. 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 will 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. Safety check After completing any service or repair to this TV, ask the service technician to perform routine safety checks to determine that your TV is in correct operating condition. 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 your TV dealer or local power company. Screen protection Your TV's screen is made of glass. Do not drop your TV or hit the glass screen. If the screen breaks, be careful of broken glass. Non-active pixels The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors, which provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally, a few nonactive 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. 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.        1 Electric service equipment 2 Power service grounding electrode system 3 Ground clamps 4 Grounding conductors 5 Antenna discharge unit 6 Grounding clamp 7 Antenna lead-in wire Note to CATV system installer This reminder is provided to call the CATV system installer's attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for correct grounding and in particular, specifies that the cable ground must be connected to the grounding system of the building as close to the point of cable entry as practical.
