●

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.

Wireless connection

You can place the tuner box and the display unit in a flexible way using the wireless unit (not using any cables
between the display unit and the tuner box). If you choose to use the wireless connection between the display

unit and the tuner box, ensure that the wireless transmitter and the wireless receiver are positioned to face
each other without any obstructions.

The wireless unit uses 60 (59.40 - 61.56) GHz frequency band. Do not use the wireless unit near the equipment

●

using the same frequency band to avoid the interference.

●

It may take a while to change the input mode when using the wireless unit. To resolve this, use supplied HDMI
cable to connect the display unit and the tuner box.

●

Picture and sound may be interrupted or the TV may not be operated properly depending on the setting place
of the wireless transmitter or obstacles (furniture, AV equipment, rack, rack door, etc.) between the wireless
transmitter and the wireless receiver. To resolve this, change the installation layout without any obstacles between
the wireless transmitter and the wireless receiver.

Remote control

This remote control is RF (Radio Frequency) remote control.
Signals are sent in virtually every direction, so that you can operate the TV even if the remote control is not
facing the display unit or the tuner box. In addition, as the radio waves reflect on walls or other obstacles, the
remote control is operable even there are obstacles between the remote control and the tuner box.

This remote control uses 2.4 GHz frequency band.●
