SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

7

y Contact the service centre

once a year to clean the
internal parts of the product.

y Refer 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.

y If 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.

y The panel is a high technol-

ogy 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.

y You may find different bright-

ness 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.

ENGLISH

ENG

y Displaying a still image (e.g., broadcasting chan-

nel logo, on-screen menu, scene from a video
game or computer screen) for a prolonged time
may cause damage to the screen, resulting in
retention of the image, which is known as image
sticking. It can remain for long time or never dis­appear. The warranty does not cover the product
for image sticking.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on your televi­sion’s screen for a prolonged period (1 or more
hours for OLED).
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.

y Generated 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.

WARNING

Viewing Environment

y Viewing Time

- When watching 3D contents, take 5 - 15 minute breaks every hour. Viewing 3D contents for a long period of

time may cause headache, dizziness, fatigue or eye strain.

Those that have a photosensitive seizure or chronic illness

y Some users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a ashing light or

particular pattern from 3D contents.

y Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nausea, are pregnant and/ or have a chronic illness such as epilepsy, cardiac

disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.

y 3D Contents are not recommended to those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly. Double images or

discomfort in viewing may be experienced.

y If you have strabismus (cross-eyed), amblyopia (weak eyesight) or astigmatism, you may have trouble sensing depth

and easily feel fatigue due to double images. It is advised to take frequent breaks than the average adult.

y If your eyesight varies between your right and left eye, revise your eyesight prior to watching 3D contents.

Symptoms which require discontinuation or refraining from watching 3D contents

y Do not watch 3D contents when you feel fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or drinking.
y When these symptoms are experienced, stop using/watching 3D contents and get enough rest until the symptom

CAUTION

Viewing Environment

y Viewing Distance

- Maintain a distance of at least twice the screen diagonal length when watching 3D contents. If you feel discomfort

in viewing 3D contents, move further away from the TV.

Viewing Age

y Infants/Children

- Usage/ Viewing 3D contents for children under the age of 5 are prohibited.

- Children under the age of 10 may overreact and become overly excited because their vision is in development (for
example: trying to touch the screen or trying to jump into it. Special monitoring and extra attention is required for
children watching 3D contents.

- Children have greater binocular disparity of 3D presentations than adults because the distance between the eyes
is shorter than that of adults. Therefore they will perceive more stereoscopic depth compared to adults for the
same 3D image.

y Teenagers

- Teenagers under the age of 19 may react with sensitivity due to stimulation from light in 3D contents. Advise them
to refrain from watching 3D contens for a long time when they are tired.

Precautions to Take when Using
the Magic Remote Control

ENGLISH

ENG

How to use Magic Remote Con­trol

1 If the pointer disappears, move

the remote control slightly to left
or right. Then, it will automatically
appear on the screen.

» If the pointer has not been
used for a certain period of time, it
will disappear.

2 You can move the pointer by

aiming the Pointer Receiver of the
remote control at your TV then
move it left, right, up or down.

» If the pointer does not work
properly, leave the remote control
for 10 seconds then use it again.

y Use the Magic Remote Control within the maxi-

mum communication distance (10 m). Using the
Magic Remote Control beyond this distance, or
with an object obstructing it, may cause a com­munication failure.

y A communication failure may occur due to nearby

devices. Electrical devices such as a microwave
oven or wireless LAN product may cause interfer­ence, as these use the same bandwidth (2.4 GHz)
as the Magic Remote Control.

y The Magic Remote Control may be damaged

or may malfunction if it is dropped or receives a
heavy impact.

y Take care not to bump into nearby furniture or oth-

er people when using the Magic Remote Control.

y Manufacturer and installer cannot provide service

related to human safety as the applicable wireless
device has possibility of electric wave interference.

y It is recommended that an Access Point (AP) be

located more than 1 m away from the TV. If the
AP is installed closer than 1 m, the Magic Remote
Control may not perform as expected due to fre­quency interference.

[ ][Data02][ ][Data03][ ][Data04][ ][Data05][Cr]

Digital channels have a Physical, Major, and Minor
channel number. The Physical number is the actual
digital channel number, the Major is the number that
the channel should be mapped to, and the Minor is
the sub-channel. Since the ATSC tuner automatically
maps the channel from the Major / Minor number,
the Physical number is not required when sending a
command in Digital.
