Take care not to touch the ventilation

y

openings when watching the TV for long
periods as the ventilation openings may
become hot. This does not affect the
operation or performance of the product.

Periodically examine the cord of your

y

appliance, and if its appearance indicates
damage or deterioration, unplug it,
discontinue use of the appliance, and have
the cord replaced with an exact replacement
part by an authorized servicer.

y

pins or outlet.
This may cause a fire hazard.

Protect the power cord from physical or

y

mechanical abuse, such as being twisted,
kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked
upon. Pay particular attention to plugs, wall
outlets, and the point where the cord exits
the appliance.

When cleaning the product and its

y

components, unplug the power first
and wipe it with a soft cloth. Applying

discolouration. Do not spray with water
or wipe with a wet cloth. Never use glass
cleaner, car or industrial shiner, abrasives
or wax, benzene, alcohol etc., which can
damage the product and its panel.
Otherwise, this may result in fire, electric

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH

ENG

Contact the service centre once a year to

y

clean the internal parts of the product.
Accumulated dust can cause mechanical
failure.

Refer all servicing to qualified service

y

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.

If the product feels cold to the touch, there

y

may be a small “flicker” when it is turned on.
This is normal, there is nothing wrong with
product.

You may find different brightness and colour

y

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.

Displaying a still image (e.g., broadcasting

y

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.

The panel is a high technology display

y

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.

Generated Sound

y

“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that
occurs when watching or turning off the TV
is generated by plastic thermal contraction
due to tempera-ture 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 depend-ing on the product.
This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.
