supply to your home, consult your appliance
dealer or local power company.
Power Cord Protection
Power cords should be routed so that they are not
likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed
upon or against them, paying particular attention
to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and
the point where they exit from the appliance.
Lightning
For added protection for the product during a
lightning storm, or when it is left unattended and
unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the
wall outlet and disconnect the antenna or cable
system. This will prevent damage to the product
due to lightning and power-line surges.
Power Lines
An outside antenna system should not be located
in the vicinity of overhead power lines or other
electric light or power circuits, or where it can fall
into such power lines or circuits. When installing

damage and will often require extensive work
by a service technician to restore the product
to its normal operation.
− If the product has been dropped or damaged
in any way.
− When the product exhibits a distinct change in
performance this indicates a need for service.
Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the

specified by the manufacturer or have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in fire, electric shock or
other hazards.
Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to the
product, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the product is in
proper operating condition.

Avoid placing the product in areas of direct
sunlight, heating radiators, closed automobiles,
high temperature, high humidity, excessive dust,
strong vibration, impact or strong magnetic fields,
as the internal parts may be seriously damaged.
Hazards of Electrical Shock and Fire
Do not touch the power cord with wet hands. Hold
the plug when disconnecting the power cord. Do
not pull the power cord. Unplug the power cord
from the wall socket outlet when the product is
not used for long periods of time.

Cleaning and Maintenance
CAUTION
s Disconnect the power plug from the wall socket
outlet before cleaning the product.
Important Safety Instructions
Cleaning the TV Panel
Wipe the TV panel with a dry lint-free cloth in
order to prevent damage to the panel surface.
In case of greasy dirt, wipe gently with a lint-free
cloth slightly moistened with water.
s Do not use a chemical cloth or spray cleaner. It
may cause discolouration and damage to the
panel surface.
s Do not use a dusty or hard cloth and rub the
screen hard. It may cause scratches on the
panel surface.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Wipe the cabinet with a lint-free cloth. In case
of heavy dirt, wipe with a soft cloth slightly
moistened with water.
s Do not use a dusty cloth and rub the cabinet
surface. It may cause scratches on the cabinet
surface.
s Do not use chemicals such as benzene, thinner
or other chemical products. Do not spray
volatile solutions such as insecticide over the
cabinet. Using these chemicals may result in
cabinet material degradation or coating removal.
s Do not leave the cabinet in prolonged contact
with plastic or rubber materials. It may cause
cabinet material degradation or coating removal.
Common Phenomena of the TV Panel
The followings are the common phenomena when operating the TV panel. This is a structual property of
the TV panel that is adapted to the industry standards and will have no impact on the performance of the
product.
Defective Spots on TV Panel
The TV panel is manufactured with highprecision technology. It consists of large
number of pixels. However, some of them may
appear constantly on the screen as black spots,
brilliant spots of light (red, green or blue) and/or
illuminated spots (pixel of white colour).
Residual Image
When a still image or On Screen Display menu
is displayed on the screen for a short time
(about a minute) and then switched to another
image, it may leave an “after-image” on the
screen. The residual image will disappear on
its own.
Surface on TV Panel
The TV panel is made with fine processing
glass. Therefore do not impact strongly on the
panel surface as this may cause damage to it.
The Usage Under Low Temperature
Environment
Due to the structual characteristics of the TV
panel, the response speed of the TV panel
becomes slower when the ambient temperature
around the panel becomes too low. In some
cases, it may cause the residual image. The
residual image will disappear on its own as the
temperature goes up and back to normal.

About PVR
This TV has a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) that
allows you to record digital TV programmes to an
external USB storage device (e.g. hard disk drive).
With PVR, you can pause Live TV and you can
even set up to record a series so you never miss
an episode of your favourite programme.
After the new USB storage device is connected to
the USB port, you should format it first in order to
record. (

Even adults misbehave at times so remember to look
at your child’s misbehavior with understanding, stop
take a breath, and look for the opportunity to teach.
Remember that it takes more than just teaching for
someone to master a skill. Just like learning to read,
learning new behavior takes encouragement, trial and
error and lots of practice.
