despite good reception of analogue channels.

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 licensed 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.

Depending on the broadcaster, the digital teletext (MHEG) services may not be available. In this case, the operation of
the teletext services may be the same as the analogue teletext services (p. 24).
Digital teletext (MHEG)
Digital teletext services differ greatly from analogue teletext.
When you switch to a digital teletext service, the images you see can contain graphics and text, laid out and controlled

Note
As soon as you switch to a digital channel with links to a teletext service, software is downloaded in the background
to enable the teletext function. This means that when switching to a digital channel, you should wait for approximately
5 seconds before pressing the TEXT button - this will allow the software to download. If you press the TEXT button
before download is complete, it will be ignored and you will have to press the TEXT button again when the download
is complete.
While navigating digital teletext, you will find there is a short delay when moving between pages while the page
downloads. There is often a prompt shown somewhere on the page (for example “Loading”) to let you know that this
is happening.

Analogue teletext
Analogue teletext services are the text information provided by the broadcasters.
The features may vary depending on the broadcasters.
What is FASTEXT mode?
In FASTEXT mode, four differently coloured subjects are situated at the bottom of the screen. To access more
information about one of these subjects, press the appropriately coloured button. This facility enables fast access to
information on the subjects shown.
