Safety instructions

Please read these safety precautions carefully before using the product.

WARNING

Do not place the TV and/or remote control in the following
environments:

•  A location exposed to direct sunlight

•  An area with high humidity such as a bathroom

•  Near any heat source such as stoves and other devices that

produce heat

•  Near kitchen counters or humidiers where they can easily be
exposed to steam or oil

•  An area exposed to rain or wind

•  Near containers of water such as vases

Otherwise, this may result in re, electric shock, malfunction or product
deformation.

Make sure to connect Mains cable to compliant AC mains socket with
Grounded earth pin. (Except for devices which are not grounded on
earth.) Otherwise possibility you may be electrocuted or injured.

Insert power cable plug completely into wall socket otherwise if not
secured completely into socket, re ignition may break out.

Ensure the power cord does not come into contact with hot objects
such as a heater. This may cause a re or an electric shock hazard.

Do not place the product where it might be exposed to dust. This may
cause a re hazard.

Mains Plug is the TV connecting/disconnecting device to AC mains
electric supply. This plug must remain readily attached and operable
when TV is in use.

Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Additionally, if the cord
pin is wet or covered with dust, dry the power plug completely or wipe
dust o. You may be electrocuted due to excess moisture.

Do not place a heavy object, or the product itself, on power cables.
Otherwise, this may result in re or electric shock.

Bend antenna cable between inside and outside building to prevent
rain from owing in. This may cause water damaged inside the Product
and could give an electric shock.

When mounting TV onto wall make sure to neatly install and isolate
cabling from rear of TV as to not create possibility of electric shock /
re hazard.

Do not plug too many electrical devices into a single multiple electrical
outlet. Otherwise, this may result in re due to over-heating.

ENGLISH

Do not press strongly upon the panel with a hand or sharp object such
as nail, pencil or pen, or make a scratch on it, as it may causedamage
to screen.

When moving or unpacking the product, work in pairs because the
product is heavy. Otherwise, this may result in injury.

Avoid touching the screen or holding your nger(s) against it for long
periods of time. Doing so may produce some temporary or permanent
distortion/damage to screen.

When cleaning the product and its components, unplug the power
rst and wipe it with a soft cloth. Applying excessive force may cause
scratches or discolouration. Do not spray with water or wipe with a wet
cloth. Never use glass cleaner, car or industrial shiner, abrasives or wax,
benzene, alcohol etc., which can damage the product and its panel.
Otherwise, this may result in re, electric shock or product damage
(deformation, corrosion or breakage).

As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall outlet, it is not
disconnected from the AC power source even if you turn o this unit
by SWITCH.

When unplugging the cable, grab the plug and unplug 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.

Contact the service centre once a year to clean the internal parts of the
product. Accumulated dust can cause mechanical failure.

Refer all servicing to qualied 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.

If the product feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “icker”
when it is turned on. This is normal, there is nothing wrong with
product.

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 aect the performance
and reliability of the product.
This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject
to exchange or refund.

When moving the product, make sure you turn the power o rst. Then,

ENGLISH

You may nd dierent brightness and color 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.

Displaying a still image (e.g., broadcasting channel logo, on-screen
menu, scene from a video game) for a prolonged time may cause
damage to the screen, resulting in retention of the image, which is
known as image sticking. The warranty does not cover the product for
image sticking.
Avoid displaying a xed image on your television’s screen for a
prolonged period (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more hours for Plasma).
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.

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 on the product.
This generated sound does not aect the performance and reliability
of the product.

Do not use high voltage electrical goods near the TV (e.g. electric
mosquito-swatter). This may result in product malfunction.
