Important Installation Notices
Install TV on a stable surface
If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently 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.
When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug
●Cleaning an energized TV may cause electrical shock.
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.
Transport only in upright position
●Transporting the TV with its display panel facing upward or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.
Allow sufficient space around the TV for radiated heat
Minimum distance |
|
●When using the pedestal, keep the space between the bottom of the |

●In case of using Wall-hanging bracket, follow the manual of it. |
(cm)
Do not block the rear air vents
●Blocked ventilation by newspapers, table cloths, curtains, etc. may cause overheating, fire or electrical shock.
Do not expose your ears to excessive volume from the headphones
●Irreversible damage can be caused.
Display panel is made of glass. Do not apply strong force or impact to the display panel.
●This may cause damage resulting in injury.
The TV is heavy. Handle the TV by 2 or more people. Support as shown to avoid injury by the TV tipping or falling.
Auto 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.
Keep the TV away from these types of equipment
●Electronic equipment
In particular, do not place video equipment near the TV. Electromagnetic interference may distort images / sound. ●Equipment with an infrared sensor
This TV also emits infrared rays. This may affect operation of other equipment.
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. 49)

Attaching the pedestal
Warning
