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.

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.

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.
