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 TV 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 TV 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 TV near or above sources of heat, such as radiators, heaters, fuel stoves and other heatgenerating 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 TV to the wall bracket.

If wall mounting, have a suitable qualiﬁed and experienced tradesperson mount it safely. Use only a recommended TV 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 TV (LCD) screens have a very thin protective 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 TV is switched on, as the heat may accumulate inside the display and result in danger.

Do NOT place the TV in direct sun or where direct sun or spot lighting will shine onto the display, as the heat may damage the TV 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 TV.

When installing the TV, connect the power cord to socket-outlet which must be provided near the TV 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 TV.

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