2 Important

Read this user manual before you start to use this product.

Pay close attention to this section and follow the safety and screen care instructions. The product warranty does not apply if damage is caused by failing to follow these instructions.

The model and serial number of your TV can be found on the back of the TV as well as on the packaging.

Safety

•

Two people are required to lift and carry a TV that weighs more than 25 kilos (55lb). Improper handling of the TV can result in serious injury.

•

If transporting the TV in low temperatures (less than 5°C), open the box and wait until the TV matches the ambient temperature of the room before unpacking.

•

To avoid short circuit, do not expose the TV, remote control or remote control batteries to rain or water.

•

To avoid risk of ﬁ re or electric shock, do not place the TV, remote control or remote control batteries near naked ﬂ ame sources (e.g., lighted candles) and other heat sources including direct sunlight.

•

Do not place vessels ﬁ lled with water on top of or near to the TV. Spilling water into the TV can result in electric shock. If you spill water into the TV, do not operate the TV. Immediately disconnect the TV from the power and have the TV checked by a qualiﬁ ed technician. Do not install the TV in a conﬁ ned space

• such as a bookcase. Leave a space of at least 10cm (four inches) around the

TV for ventilation. Be sure air ﬂ ow is not obstructed. If placing the TV on a ﬂ at, solid surface be

• sure to use only the supplied stand. Do not move the TV if the stand is not properly screwed to the TV. Wall mounting of the TV should only be

• performed by qualiﬁ ed personnel. The TV must only be mounted on an appropriate wall bracket and on a wall that can safely hold the weight of the TV. Improper wall mounting can result in severe injury or damage. Do not attempt to wall mount the TV yourself. If the TV is mounted on a swivel base or

• swivel arm, ensure no strain is placed on the power cord when the TV is swivelled. Strain on the power cord can loosen connections and cause arcing or ﬁ re. Disconnect the TV from the mains and

• antenna before lightning storms. During lightning storms do not touch any part of the TV, mains cord or antenna cable. Be sure that you have full access to the

• mains cord for easy disconnection of the TV from the mains. When disconnecting the TV from the

• mains, be sure to:

1 Turn off the TV, then the mains power (if

available).

2 Unplug the mains cord from the mains

socket outlet.

3 Unplug the mains cord from the power

connector at the back of the TV. Always pull the mains cord by the plug. Do not pull the mains cord.

•

Permanent hearing loss can occur if you use earphones or headphones at high volumes. Though high volume may sound normal over time, it can damage your hearing. To protect your hearing, limit the amount of time you use earphones or headphones at high volume.

Screen care

•

Turn off and unplug the mains cord before cleaning the screen. Clean the screen with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use substances such as household cleaning agents as these may damage the screen.

•

To avoid deformations or colour fading, wipe off water droplets as soon as possible.

•

Do not touch, push, rub or strike the screen with hard objects as this may damage the screen permanently. Where possible, avoid stationary images

• that remain on-screen for extended periods of time. Examples include screen menus, teletext pages, black bars or stock market tickers. If you must use stationary images, reduce the screen contrast and brightness to avoid screen damage.
