Important Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT - Please read these instructions. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the appliance is operated.

Important Information - Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays

The extended use of ¿ xed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow image” on the LCD panel. This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary ¿ xed image. This type of irreversible LCD/LED panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:

1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.

2. Do not display the ¿ xed image for extended periods of time.

3. Turn the power off when not in actual use. Examples of images that you need to watch out for

are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):

• TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos and pricing displays-especially if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause ageing of the screen.

• Time Displays

• Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long period of time

• TV/DVD Menus: e.g. Listings of DVD disk content

• Pause Mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. When watching DVDs or videos.

Important - Once ‘shadow image/screen burn’ occurs, it will never disappear and is not repairable under warranty.

Power on/off

Important

As part of our ongoing development to reduce power consumption, we have added an extra function to this Television called ‘Ecohome’ (you will see this during the ¿ rst time installation set up). Power consumption using the Ecohome function is approximately 15% lower than some other modes. The picture brightness is reduced using the Ecohome function. If this function is not suitable for your viewing environment, you can select other modes as necessary. (Please note, ‘Demo’ mode is for optimum default picture settings, however, power consumption is approximately 15% higher than ‘Ecohome’ mode)

Please refer to the user guide section ‘Picture settings’ in order to change the mode to one that maybe more suitable for your environment. There is also a shortcut button on the remote control called ‘P-Mode’ should you wish to change to another mode.
