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
	10
			TV and the surface where the TV is set.
10	10	7	●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)

Maintenance

First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.

Display panel

Regular care: Gently wipe the surface clean of dirt by using a soft cloth.

Major contamination: Wipe the surface clean using a soft cloth dampened with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water). Then, using a soft dry cloth, evenly wipe the surface clean until it is dry.

Caution

●The surface of the display panel has been specially treated and may be easily damaged. Do not tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard object.

●Take care not to subject the surface to insect repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances. This may degrade surface quality.

Cabinet, Pedestal

Regular care: Wipe the surface clean using a soft dry cloth.

Major contamination: Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or water containing a small amount of neutral detergent. Then, wring the cloth and wipe the surface clean with it. Finally, wipe the surface clean with a dry cloth.

Caution

●Take care not to subject the TV's surfaces to detergent. A liquid inside the TV could lead to product failure. ●Take care not to subject surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances.

This may deteriorate the surface by peeling the paint.

●Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long time.

Attaching the pedestal

Warning

Do not disassemble or modify the pedestal.
