ENGLISH

ENG

y When unplugging the cable, grab the plug and un-

plug it, by pulling at the plug. Don’t pull at the cord
to unplug the power cord from the power board, as
this could be hazardous.

y When moving the product, make sure you turn

the power off first. Then, unplug the power cables,
antenna cables and all connecting cables.
The TV set or power cord may be damaged, which
may create a fire hazard or cause electric shock.

y When moving or unpacking the product, work in

pairs because the product is heavy.
Otherwise, this may result in injury.

y Contact the service centre once a year to clean the

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

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 The panel is a high technology 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 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.

y Displaying a still image (e.g., broadcasting channel

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 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 Generated Sound

“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.

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

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.
