a very few cases, you could see fine dots on
the screen while you’re viewing the TV. Those
dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the
performance and reliability of the TV.
If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a
y
small “flicker” when it is turned on. This is normal,
there is nothing wrong with TV. Some minute dot
defects may be visible on the screen, appearing as
tiny red, green, or blue spots. However, they have
no adverse effect on the TV’s performance. Avoid
touching the LCD screen or holding your finger(s)
against it for long periods of time. Doing so may
produce some temporary distortion effects on the
screen.

y
Do not short circuit, disassemble or allow the
y
batteries to overheat.
Preventing “Image burn” or “Burn-in” on your TV screen
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 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.
Take care not to touch the ventilation openings.
y
When watching the TV for a long period, the
ventilation openings may become hot. This does
not affect the performance of the product or cause
defects in the product.
If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for
y
a long period of time, it will be imprinted and
become a permanent disfigurement on the screen.
This is “image burn” or “burn-in” and not covered
by the warranty.
If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a
y
long period of time, image burn may occur on the
letterboxed area of the screen.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen
y
for a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD,
1 or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent
image burn.

used as steps, such as a chest of drawers.
yRemember that children can become excited while watching
a program, especially on a “larger than life” flat panel display.
Care should be taken to place or install the display where it cannot be
pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
yCare should be taken to route all cords and cables connected to the
flat panel display so that they cannot be pulled or grabbed by curious
children.
