Part I: Quick Start Guide 3

3. Select and prepare the installation location

In order to prevent potential dangers and prolong the service life of the TV, please observe
the following points when installing, operating and cleaning the TV.

Do NOT place the display on an
uneven, sloping or unstable surface
where it may fall and cause damage to
itself or others.
Have a qualified technician secure the
display where it is placed in case there
is an earthquake.

Do NOT place the display near water,
like a spa or pool, or in a position
which will allow the splashing or
spraying of water onto the display,
like in front of an open window where
rain water may enter.

Do NOT place the display near or
above sources of heat, such as
radiators, heaters, fuel stoves and
other heat-generating items
(including audio amplifiers).
Otherwise heat may cause damages
to the outer casing as well as the
components inside.

If wall mounting, allow appropriate
space on top for attaching the display
to the wall bracket.

If wall mounting, have a suitable
qualified and experienced
tradesperson mount it safely. Use
only a recommended display wall
bracket for this model display and
ensure that the mounting bracket
(optional accessory) is securely
screw fixed to the wall structure, and
not just the wall render, lining or
cladding. Ensure the bracket is level
horizontally. Do not glue the
bracket to the wall.

All Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

layer of glass which is liable to
marking or scratching, and cracking
if struck or pressured.
The liquid crystal substrate is also
liable to damage under excessive
force or extreme temperatures.
Please handle with care.

Do NOT cover or block the vents
and openings while the display is
switched on, as the heat may
accumulate inside the display and
result in danger.

Do NOT place the display in direct
sun or where direct sun or spot
lighting will shine onto the display, as
the heat may damage the display and
the bright light will make viewing the
display more difficult than necessary.

If recessed into a wall opening, you
must leave appropriate free space
both top and bottom for mounting
and removing the display.

When installing the display, connect
the power cord to socket-outlet
which must be provided near the
display and easily accessible. If a fault
should occur during operation of the
unit, operate the disconnect device
to switch the power supply off, or
disconnect the power cord.

Observe all warnings and cautions as
labelled on the display.

Do NOT place the display in an
enclosed place without allowing
for ventilation.
