automatically after a few minutes if no signals are
sent or no operations are performed. (p. 49)
■ 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 suffi cient space around the
