Do not use high voltage electrical equipment near
the TV, (e.g., bug zapper). This may result in product
malfunction.
Dot Defect
The panel is a high technology product with
resolution of two million to six million pixels. 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 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
4
current to operate a product. It varies depending
upon 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.
Do not install this product on a wall if it could be
exposed to oil or oil mist. This may damage the
product and cause it to fall.
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.
