IMPORTANT INFORMATION  
Television Antenna Connection Protection  
External Television Antenna Grounding  
If an outside antenna or cable system is to be connected to the TV, make sure that the  
antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against  
voltage surges and static charges. Article 810 of the National Electrical Code,  
ANSI/NFPSA 70, provides information with regard to proper grounding of the mast and  
supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of  
the grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding  
electrodes, and requirements of the grounding electrode.  
Lightning Protection  
For added protection of the TV during a lightning storm or when it is left unattended or  
unused for long periods of time, unplug the TV from the wall outlet and disconnect the  
antenna or cable system.  
Power Lines  
Do not locate the antenna near overhead light or power circuits, or where it could fall  
into such power lines or circuits.

Closed Captioning (digital and analog) Explained  
Your TV is equipped with an internal Closed Caption decoder. It allows you to view conservations,  
narration and sound effects as subtitles on your TV. Closed Captions are available on most TV  
program, and on some VHS home video tapes, at the election of the program provider.  
CC – Press this button to enable the CC function. You can then use the ▲▼ buttons to select if you  
want CC off or CC on. You can use the ◄► buttons to select between different CC channels.  
Please Note:  
Digital Closed Caption service is a new caption service available on digital TV programs  
(also at the election of the service provider). It is a more flexible system than the original  
Closed Caption system, because it allows a variety of caption sizes and font styles.  
Not all programs and VHS video tapes offer closed caption. Please look for the CC  
symbol to ensure that captions will be shown.  
In the Closed Caption system, there can be more than one caption service provided.  
Each is identified by its own number. The CC1 and  
CC2 services display subtitles of TV programs superimposed over the program’s picture.  
In the Closed Caption system, the TEXT1 or TEXT2 services display text that is  
unrelated to the program being viewed (e.g., weather or news). These services are also  
superimposed over the program currently being viewed.  
Closed Captioning for this TV only works under sources TV, and VIDEO.

MHL Explained  
MHL® stands for mobile high definition link. It is a protocol and cable that enables mobile devices  
(tablets, cell phones…etc) to be displayed and charging at the same time on a TV. This Sceptre TV  
supports MHL on HDMI3. If you see your mobile device supporting MHL then you can purchase a  
MHL cable and connect one end (usually micro USB) to your mobile device and the other end to  
HDMI 3. Turn on both the mobile device and the Sceptre TV and press the MHL button and things  
displayed on the mobile device will be displayed on the TV.  
Once you see the cell phone screen on the TV you can either use the cell phone itself to control the  
screen or use the TV remote’s buttons shown above to control the cell phone screen.  
Please Note:  
Not every cell phone supports MHL. Please contact your cell phone company for  
support information or search MHL on the web for more information.  
Not every MHL cable supports your cell phone. There are different versions of MHL  
cables for different cell phones. The wrong type of cable will not produce an image on  
the TV. Please contact your cell phone company to ensure you have the correct MHL  
cable.  
The directional button and ENTER buttons on the TV’s remote have limited control over  
the cell phone’s OS and the programs within. Some programs will respond to the control,  
some will not. For maximum control please use the cell phone’s touch screen instead of  
the TV’s remote.

MPAA lets you control ratings for movies. For regular TV programs you can use USTV settings.  
USTV settings lets you filter what content you want at each age level, TV-Y, to TV-MA (refer to  
definitions below). Below are definitions for each setting.  
USTV Rating  
TV-Y (USTV) – For All Children  
This program is designed to be appropriate for all children. Whether animated or live-action, the  
themes and elements in this program are specifically designed for  
a very young audience, including children from ages 2-6. This program is not expected to frighten  
younger children.  
TV-Y7 (USTV) – Directed to Older Children  
This program is designed for children age 7 and above. It may be more appropriate for children who  
have acquired the developmental skills needed to distinguish between make-believe and reality.  
Themes and elements in this program may include mild fantasy violence or comedic violence, or  
may frighten children under the age of 7. Therefore, parents may want to consider the suitability of  
this program for their very young children. Note: For those programs where fantasy violence may be  
more intense or more combative than other programs in this category, such programs will be  
designated TV-Y7-FV.  
TV-G (USTV) – General Audience  
Most parents would find this program suitable for all ages. Although this rating does not signify a  
program designed specifically for children, most parents may let younger children watch this  
program unattended. It contains little or no violence, no strong language and little or no sexual  
dialogue or situations.  
TV-PG (USTV) – Parental Guidance Suggested  
This program contains material that parents may find unsuitable for younger children. Many parents  
may want to watch it with their younger children. The theme itself may call for parental guidance  
and/or the program contains one or more of the following: moderate violence (V), some sexual  
situations (S), infrequent coarse language (L), or some suggestive dialogue (D).  
TV-14 (USTV) – Parents Strongly Cautioned  
This program contains some material that many parents would find unsuitable for children less than  
14 years of age. Parents are strongly urged to exercise greater care in monitoring this program and  
are cautioned against letting children under the age of 14 watches unattended. This program  
contains one or more of the following: intense violence (V), intense sexual situations (S), strong  
coarse language (L), or intensely suggestive dialogue (D).  
TV-MA (USTV) – Mature Audience Only  
This program is specifically designed to be viewed by adults and therefore may be unsuitable for  
children under 17. This program contains one or more of the following: graphic violence (V), explicit  
sexual activity (S), or crude indecent language (L).

Aspect Ratio Explained  
The TV is a widescreen TV, but most TV programs are still broadcasting in a square  
format, therefore the TV is offering multiple ways of viewing videos. There are mainly  
two types of signal format, Full (16:9 format), Normal (4:3 format), while others offer a  
novelty ways to view the TV. Simply use the ASPECT button on the TV’s remote  
control to cycle between the multiple modes.  
1. NORMAL  
Most analog TV channels have 4:3 signal formats. If the original 4:3 aspect ratio  
(1.33:1 source) is preserved, black bars are added to the left and right of the  
display image. This aspect keeps that aspect ratio and shows you the black bars  
on the side.  
2. WIDE  
This mode will stretch the picture to a widescreen ratio. If you have a perfect 16:9  
ratio picture you will not see any black bars. If you are watching a widescreen  
movie in 1.85:1 or 2.35:1 ratio, you will still get black bars on the top and bottom of  
the screen. If you use this mode on 4:3 pictures they will be stretched and  
distorted horizontally.  
3. CINEMA  
This mode cuts off all 4 sides to try to make a widescreen movie fit better on the  
TV screen.  
4. ZOOM  
When watching a 4:3 aspect ratio TV or movie, this mode zooms in to cut off most  
of the black bars on the side while preserving the 16:9 ratio. Because of the zoom,  
the top and bottom are cut off as well.  
5. Full 100%  
This mode is only available under PC. It will map dot by dot to the screen. Any  
resolution will be proportionate.

How do I clean the TV ?  
IMPORTANT  
1. The power cable has to be removed from the socket before cleaning the  
TV.  
2. Do not use volatile solvent (alcohol, rosin, and toluene) to clean the TV.  
These types of chemicals might damage the housing and the LCD glass.  
Cleaning the bezel and remote control  
1. Use a 100% cotton cloth or micro-fiber cloth for cleaning.  
2. If the remote control or bezel is dirty to the point where you cannot  
simply dry wipe it, please lightly dampen the wiping material (the wiping  
material cannot be dripping wet, because if water drips into the  
panel it will cause malfunction and possible permanent damage to  
the panel which will not be covered under the warranty) with clean  
water and wipe again. Wipe the display with a dry micro-fiber cloth or  
100% cotton cloth afterwards.  
Please Note :  
Make sure you wring the water out of the cloth before  
cleaning the bezel or remote in order to prevent water  
from penetrating into the electronics.  
Cleaning the Screen  
1. Use a 100% cotton cloth or micro-fiber cloth for cleaning.  
2. The LCD screen glass is extremely fragile. Do not scrape it with any  
material. Do not press or tap the screen to avoid cracking. When the  
screen is dirty to the point where you cannot simply dry wipe it, please  
lightly dampen the wiping material with clean water and wipe again.  
Wipe the display with a dry micro-fiber cloth or 100% cotton cloth  
afterwards.
