Installing / Removing the Base Stand
• Remove the base stand before mounting the TV onto the wall.
• The LCD display is very fragile, and must be protected at all times when installing and removing the base stand. Be
sure that no hard or sharp object, or anything that could scratch or damage the LCD display, comes into contact with
it. DO NOT exert pressure on the front of the TV at any time because the screen could crack.
1. Disconnect all cables connected to the TV.
2. Lay the TV down on a flat surface with the back side
facing up. Please make sure to place a soft cushioned
material (such as a pillow or thick piece of foam)
beneath the screen.
3. To remove the base stand, untighten the 7 screws that
hold the base stand to the rear of the TV.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Why have I lost some/all of my
channels?
Why do I get ‘blocking’ on my digital
picture?
Can I watch Freeview using a
portable set-top aerial?
What type of aerial do I need?
• Check if the TV is in DTV mode.
• Check the connection of the external USB storage device.
• Check if the capacity of the USB storage device is full.
• Adjust resolution, horizontal frequency, or vertical frequency.
• Use Auto configure or adjust clock, phase, or H/V position.
• Check the signal cable.
• Reinstall the PC video card.
• It happens sometimes, if you have a weak signal. Usually it just means you’ll need
to rescan your digital box or TV. Don’t worry, it easy to do. And once you’ve done it,
you should get all the Freeview channels available to you. If problems persist you
may need to get your aerial checked. Talk to your retailer or contact your local aerial
installer.
• In most cases, blocking is caused by a reception problem - either the signal is too
weak or there is some kind of interference. Talk to your retailer or contact your local
aerial installer.
• Blocking can also be caused by a digital signal that is too strong. If you are still
experiencing blocking and the signal is strong, consult your local aerial installer for
advice.
• Some, but only a few, homes may be able to use a set top aerial. However, for a
much better reception, we strongly recommend that you use a rooftop aerial.
• If you do not have access to a rooftop aerial - for example, if you rent a flat and the
aerial is the responsibility of your landlord, or if you’re using a second TV in the
bedroom and don’t want the hassle and expense of using extension cables - a settop aerial may be your only option.
• If you are installing a new aerial, we recommend a wideband rooftop aerial rather
than a loft aerial. Loft aerials generally receive a weaker digital signal and are more
likely to get interference from other electrical devices in the home. We suggest you
have an aerial survey done before getting an aerial upgrade.
• Talk to your retailer or contact your local aerial installer.

Safety Warnings
• Read all the instructions carefully before using the unit
and keep them for future reference.
• Retain the manual. If you pass the unit onto a third
party make sure to include this manual.
• Check that the voltage marked on the rating label
matches your mains voltage.
Damage
• Please inspect the unit for damage after unpacking.
• Do not continue to operate the unit if you are in any
doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged
in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and
consult your dealer.
Location of Unit
• The unit must be placed on a flat stable surface and
should not be subjected to vibrations.
• Do not place the unit on sloped or unstable surfaces as
the unit may fall off or tip over.
• The mains socket must be located near the unit and
should be easily accessible.
• This unit is designed for indoor use only.
Temperature
• Avoid extreme degrees of temperature, either hot or
cold. Place the unit well away from heat sources such
as radiators or gas/electric fires.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and other sources of
heat.
Naked Flames
• Never place any type of candle or naked flame on the
top of or near the unit.
Moisture
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product
damage, do not expose this unit to rain, moisture,
dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, should be placed on the unit.
• If you spill any liquid into the unit, it can cause serious
damage. Switch it off at the mains immediately.
Withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

Safety
• Always disconnect the unit from the mains supply
before connecting/disconnecting other devices or
moving the unit.
• Unplug the unit from the mains socket during a
lightning storm.
Mains Cable
• Make sure the unit or unit stand is not resting on top of
the mains cable, as the weight of the unit may damage
the mains cable and create a safety hazard.
• If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced
by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly
qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Interference
• Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may
cause electromagnetic interference. If you do, it may
adversely affect the operating performance of the unit,
and cause a distorted picture or sound.
Optimum viewing
• View the unit in moderate light to prevent eye strain. It
is recommended to watch the unit from a distance
3-7 times that of the screen height.
LCD screen
• The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision
technology. However, some tiny black points and/
or bright points (red, blue or green in colour) may
constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points
are generated in the manufacturing process and are
normal.
Screen Burn
• A characteristic of Plasma and TV Panels is that
displaying the same image for a long time may cause
a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This
is called screen burn. Most pictures shown on the unit
will be constantly moving and fill the screen.
• Examples of images that you need to watch out for are
as follows (this is not an all-inclusive list):
1. Black Bars: If black bars appear at the left/right or
top/bottom of the screen, it is recommended to
change the format so that the picture fills the entire
screen.
2. TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos
and pricing displays - especially if they are bright
and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are
less likely to cause ageing of the screen.
3. Time Displays
4. Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long
periods of time.
5. TV Menus
6. Pause Mode: Do not leave the screen in pause
mode for long periods of time, e.g. When watching
videos.
• To prevent screen burn if viewing any of the above for
long periods of time, reduce contrast and brightness
when viewing. Once burn-in occurs it will never
disappear completely.
50
Earphones
• Listening to loud sounds for prolonged periods of time
may permanently damage your hearing.
• Before putting on earphones, turn the volume down
then put the earphones on and slowly increase the
volume until you reach a comfortable listening level.
Standby
• The
/ I button on the remote control does not switch
off the unit completely. The unit will continue to draw
electricity from the mains supply while in standby. In
the interests of safety and to avoid unnecessary energy
consumption, never leave the unit in standby while
unattended for long periods of time, e.g. overnight,
while on holiday or while out of the house. Switch it off
and disconnect the mains plug from the mains socket.
Batteries
• Batteries used in the remote control for this unit
are easily swallowed by young children and this is
dangerous.
• Keep loose batteries away from young children and
make sure that the battery holder tray is secure in the
remote control. Seek medical advice if you believe a
cell has been swallowed.
• Please dispose of batteries correctly by following the
guidance in this manual.
Supervision
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do
not play with the unit and the remote control.
• Never let anyone especially children push anything
into the holes, slots or any other openings in the case this could result in a fatal electric shock.
