Abnormal Display

ENGLISH

Generated Sound

• If the product feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “icker”
when it is turned on. This is normal, there is nothing wrong with
product.

• This panel is an advanced product that contains millions of 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 aect the performance and reliability of
the product. This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products
and is not subject to exchange or refund.

• You may nd dierent 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.

• Displaying a still image for a prolonged period of time may cause
image sticking. Avoid displaying a xed image on the TV screen for
a long period of time.

• “Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs when watching or
turning o 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 aect the
performance and reliability of the product.

• When cleaning the product, be careful not to allow any
liquid or foreign objects to enter the gap between the
upper, left or right side of the panel and the guide panel.
(Depending on model)

• Make sure to wring any excess water or cleaner from the
cloth.

• Do not spray water or cleaner directly onto the TV screen.

• Make sure to spray just enough of water or cleaner onto a
dry cloth to wipe the screen.

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.

• Only using furniture that can safely support the television set.

• Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.

• Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set
to a suitable support.

• Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.

If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
