Warning

Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself has the risk of personal injury and product damage. In order to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be sure to ask your dealer or a licenced contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty.

Carefully read the instructions accompanying optional accessories, and be sure to take steps to prevent the TV from falling off.

Handle the TV carefully during installation since subjecting it to impact or other forces may cause product damage which will void your warranty.

Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights or halogen lights) which typically give off high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.

Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Wall mounted equipment must not be grounded by metal within the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.

To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use for an extended period of time.

Using TV Guide

TV Guide - Electronic Programme Guide (EPG) provides an on screen listing of the programmes currently broadcast and the forthcoming broadcasts over the next seven days (depending on the broadcasters).

This function varies depending on the country you select (p. 12).

The postcode entry or update may be required to use the GUIDE Plus+ system depending on the country you select. “View advertisement” (p. 19)

DVB-T and Analogue channels are displayed on the same TV Guide screen.

Analogue channels will be listed after DVB-T channels but there will be no programme listings. “D” means DVB-T channel and “A” means Analogue channel.

When this TV is turned on for the first time, or the TV is switched off for more than a week, it may take some time before the TV Guide is completely shown.
