SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Please read these safety precautions carefully before using the product.

WARNING

yyDo not place the TV and/or remote control in the following environments:

--A location exposed to direct sunlight

--An area with high humidity such as a bathroom

--Near any heat source such as stoves and other devices that produce heat

--Near kitchen counters or humidifiers where they can easily be exposed to steam or oil

--An area exposed to rain or wind

--Near containers of water such as vases

Otherwise, this may result in fire, electric shock, malfunction or product deformation.

yyDo not place the product where it might be exposed to dust.

This may cause a fire hazard.

yyMains Plug is the TV connecting/disconnecting device to AC mains electric supply. This plug must remain readily attached and operable when TV is in use.

yyDo not touch the power plug with wet hands. Additionally, if the cord pin is wet or covered with dust, dry the power plug completely or wipe dust off.

You may be electrocuted due to excess moisture.

yyMake sure to connect Mains cable to compliant AC mains socket with Grounded earth pin. (Except for devices which are not grounded on earth.) Otherwise possibility you may be electrocuted or injured.

yyInsert power cable plug completely into wall socket otherwise if not secured completely into socket, fire ignition may break out.

yyEnsure the power cord does not come into contact with hot objects such as a heater.

This may cause a fire or an electric shock hazard.

yyDo not place a heavy object, or the product itself, on power cables.

Otherwise, this may result in fire or electric shock.

yyBend antenna cable between inside and outside building to prevent rain from flowing in. This may cause water damaged inside the Product and could give an electric shock.

yyWhen mounting TV onto wall make sure to neatly install and isolate cabling from rear of TV as to not create possibility of electric shock / fire hazard.

yyDo not plug too many electrical devices into a single multiple electrical outlet. Otherwise, this may result in fire due to over-heating.

yyDo not drop the product or let it fall over when connecting external devices. Otherwise, this may result in injury or damage to the product.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

7

yyContact the service centre once a year to clean the internal parts of the product.

Accumulated dust can cause mechanical failure.

yyRefer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

yyIf the product feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker” when it is turned

on. This is normal, there is nothing wrong with product.

yyThe panel is a high technology display product with resolution of two million to six million pixels. You may see tiny black dots and/ or brightly coloured dots

(red, blue or green) at a size of 1 ppm on the panel. This does not indicate a malfunction and does not affect the performance and reliability of the product. This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject to exchange or refund.

yyYou may find different brightness and colour of the panel depending on your viewing position(left/right/top/ down).

This phenomenon occurs due to the characteristic of the panel. It is not related with the product performance, and it is not malfunction.

yyDisplaying a still image (e.g., broadcasting channel logo, on-screen menu, scene from a video game) for a prolonged time may cause damage to the screen, resulting in retention of the image, which is known as image sticking. The warranty does not cover the product for image sticking.

Avoid displaying a fixed image on your television’s screen for a prolonged period (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for

Plasma).

Also, if you watch the TV at a ratio of 4:3 for a long time, image sticking may occur on the borders of the panel.

This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject to exchange or refund.

yyGenerated Sound

“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is generated by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and humidity. This noise is common for products where thermal deformation is required.

Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A low level noise is generated from a high-speed switching circuit, which supplies a large amount

of current to operate a product. It varies depending on the product.

This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product.

yy The available menus and options may differ from the input source or product model that you are using. yy New features may be added to this TV in the future.

yy The TV can be placed in standby mode in order to reduce the power consumption. And the TV should be turned off if it will not be watched for some time, as this will reduce energy consumption.

yy The energy consumed during use can be significantly reduced if the level of brightness of the picture is reduced, and this will reduce the overall running cost.

INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1 Open the package and make sure all the accessories are included.

2Attach the stand to the TV set.

3Connect an external device to the TV set.

ASSEMBLING AND PREPARING

Unpacking

NOTE

yy Antenna Isolator Installation Guide

-- Use this to install TV in a place where there is a voltage difference between TV Set and GND of antenna signal. »» If there is a voltage difference between TV Set and GND of antenna signal, the antenna contact might be

heated and excessive heat might cause an accident.

-- You can improve the safety when watching TV by efficiently removing power voltage from TV antenna. It is recommended to mount the isolator to the wall. If it cannot be mounted to the wall, mount it on the TV. Avoid disconnecting the antenna Isolator after installation.

-- Before starting, be sure that the TV antenna is connected.

1. Connect to TV.

2. Connect to Set-Top box.

Connect one end of the isolator to cable/antenna jack and the other to TV set or set-top box.

“Equipment connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the mains connection or through other equipment with a connection to protective earthing - and to a cable distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire 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)”

When applying the RF Isolator, a slight loss of signal sensitivity can occur.
