unit stand in its new surroundings for about an hour before
switching it on, or make sure that the room temperature rises
gradually.Condensation may also form during the summer if the
unit is exposed to the breeze from an air conditioner. In such
cases, change the location of the unit.

HOW TO HANDLE THE LCD PANEL:

Do not press hard or jolt the LCD panel. It may cause the

LCD panel glass to break and injury may occur. If the LCD
panel is broken, make absolutely sure that you do not touch
the liquid in the panel. This may cause skin inflammation.

If the liquid gets in your mouth, immediately gargle and

consult with your doctor. Also, if the liquid gets in your eyes
or touches your skin, consult with your doctor after rinsing for
at least 15 minutes or longer in clean water.

POSSIBLE ADVERSE EFFECTS ON LCD PANEL:

Non-active pixels

The LCD panel contains almost 3 million thin film transistors,
which provide exceptionally sharp video quality. Occasionally,
a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a
fixed black (in the case of a dead pixel), blue, green, or red
point. These non-active pixels do not adversely affect the
performance of your TV, and are not considered defects.

Important Safety Instructions

Attaching a Wall Mount or Stand to the TV

Make sure that your TV has adequate air circulation. Allow enough space around the TV as shown below. Avoid operating the
TV at temperatures below 41°F (5°C).

WARNINGS:

• When you mount your TV on the wall or place it on furniture, maintain a distance of at least 4 inches between the TV

and other objects (walls, cabinet sides, and so on) to ensure proper ventilation. Failing to maintain proper ventilation
may cause the TV to overheat.

• Do not mount the TV at more then a 12 degree tilt.

• Do not use screws that differ from the length and diameter that we have recommended (See the Hisense User Manual

or Quick Start Guide).

• Do not fasten the screws too firmly. This may damage the TV or cause it to fall, leading to personal injury. Hisense is

not liable for these kinds of accidents.

• Be careful when you touch the TV. Some parts may be warm or hot.

• Do not place any type of fabric or papers underneath, on top of, or beside the TV. This can block ventilation and cause

a fire.

• For detailed information about installing the wall mount bracket, see the third-party manufacturer’s instructions or

contact a professional installer for assistance.

• Do not operate or handle the TV with wet hands.
