ŶInstall TV on a stable surface
If a television is not positioned in a suffi ciently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television to a suitable support.
Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
Ŷ
When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug
Cleaning an energized TV may cause electrical shock.
Ŷ
When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove the mains plug
This TV will still consume some power even in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is still connected to a live socket outlet.
Ŷ
Transport only in upright position
Transporting the TV with its display panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
ŶAllow suffi cient space around the TV for radiated heat
Do not display a still picture for a long time
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen (“image retention”). This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.
Typical still images
Programme number and other logos
Image displayed in “4:3” mode
Video game
Computer image
To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered automatically after a few minutes if no signals are sent or no operations are performed. (p. 47)
When using the pedestal, keep the space between the bottom of the TV and the fl oor surface.
In case of using Wall-hanging bracket, follow the manual of it.
Ŷ
Do not block the rear air vents
Blocked ventilation by newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc. may cause overheating, fi re or electrical shock.
Ŷ
Do not expose your ears to excessive volume from the headphones
Irreversible damage can be caused.
ŶAuto power standby function
If no signal is received and no operation is performed in Analogue TV mode for 30 minutes, the TV will automatically go to standby mode.
Ŷ
