Cleaning

Before cleaning, unplug the TV set
from the wall outlet. Do not use liquid or
aerosol cleaners. Use soft and dry cloth.

Ventilation

The slots and openings on the TV set are intended for
ventilation and to ensure reliable operation. To prevent
overheating, these openings must not be blocked or
covered in anyway.

Heat and Flames

The set should not be placed near to open
fl ames and sources of intense heat such
as an electric heater. Ensure that no open
fl ame sources, such as lighted candles,
are placed on top of the TV. Batteries

such as sunshine, fi re or the like.

Lightning

In case of storm and lightning or when
going on holiday, disconnect the power
cord from the wall outlet.

Replacement Parts

When replacement parts are required, make sure that
the service technician has used replacement parts,
which are specifi ed by the manufacturer or have the
same specifi cations as the original one. Unauthorized

Connection to a Television
Distribution System (Cable TV etc.)
from Tuner

Devices connected to the protective earthing of the
building installation through the mains connection or
through other apparatus with a connection to protective
earthing-and to a television distribution system using
coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a
fi re hazard.

Connection to a cable distribution system has
therefore to be provided through a device providing
electrical isolation below a certain frequency range
(galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).

Note:The HDMI connection between PC and TV
may cause radio interference in which case it is
recommended to use VGA(DSUB-15) connection.

Environmental Information

• This television is designed to consume less energy
to save environment.

You not only help to save the environment but also
you can save money by reducing electricity bills
thanks to the energy effi ciency feauture of this TV.
To reduce energy consumption, you should take the
following steps:

• You can use Power Save Mode setting, located in
the Feature menu. If you set Power Save Mode
as On, the TV will switch to energy-saving mode
and luminance level of TV set will be decreased to
optimum level. Note that some picture settings will
be unavailable to be changed when the TV is in
Power Save Mode.

• When the TV is not in use, please switch off or
disconnect the TV from the mains plug. This will
also reduce energy consumption.

• Disconnect power when going away for longer
time.

• Note that annually, using the TV set in Power Save
Mode has more power effi ciency than disconnecting
the TV from the mains plug instead of keeping
stand-by mode. Therefore disconnect the TV from
the mains plug to save energy when you do not
use. However it is highly recommended to activate
Power Save Mode setting to reduce your annual
power consumption.

• Please helps us to save environment by following
these steps.
