•  If there is no signal while the TV is on, the TV will turn o  automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Abnormal Display
•  If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small icker 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  eect on the TV’s performance. Avoid touching the LCD screen or  holding your nger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing so  may produce some temporary distortion eects on the screen.
•  This panel is an advanced product that contains millions of pixels.  In a very few cases, you could see ne dots on the screen while  you’re viewing the TV. Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not  aect the performance and reliability of the TV.
•  Displaying a still image for a prolonged period of time may cause  an image sticking. Avoid displaying a xed image on the TV screen  for a extended length of time.
Generated Sound
•  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  upon 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 upon 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.
