IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

5

In 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.

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

g 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. 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 the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a 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.

Preventing “Image burn” or “Burn-in” on

your TV screen

If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for 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 long period of time, image burn may occur on the letterboxed area of the screen.

Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent image burn.

6IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Viewing 3D Imaging

WARNING

Viewing Environment

Viewing Time

-When watching 3D content, take 5 - 15 minute breaks every hour. Viewing 3D content for

a long period of time may cause headache, dizziness, fatigue or eye strain.

Those that have a photosensitive seizure

or chronic illness

Some users may experience a seizure or other abnormal symptoms when they are exposed to a flashing light or particular pattern from 3D content.

Do not watch 3D videos if you feel nauseous, are pregnant and/ or have a chronic illness such as epilepsy, cardiac disorder, or blood pressure disease, etc.

3D Content is not recommended for those who suffer from stereo blindness or stereo anomaly. Double images or discomfort in viewing may be experienced.

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.

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

Symptoms which require discontinuation

or refraining from watching 3D content

Do not watch 3D content when you feel fatigue from lack of sleep, overwork or intoxication.

When these symptoms are experienced, stop using/watching 3D content and get enough rest until the symptom subsides.

-Consult your doctor when the symptoms persist. Symptoms may include headache, eyeball pain, dizziness, nausea, palpitation, blurriness, discomfort, double image, visual inconvenience or fatigue.

CAUTION
