! Only using furniture that can safety support the television.

! Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting

furniture.

! Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or

bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television to a suitable support.

! Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the

television and supporting furniture.

Preparations

Using the Remote Control

<Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor window of the

set. Objects between the remote control and sensor window may prevent proper operation.

Cautions regarding use of remote control

<Do not expose the remote control to shock. In addition, do not expose the remote

control to liquids, and do not place in an area with high humidity.

<Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The heat may cause deformation

of the unit.

<The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor window of the main unit is under direct sunlight or strong

lighting. In such a case, change the angle of the lighting or the TV set, or operate the remote control closer to the remote sensor window.

Installing the Batteries

If the remote control fails to operate the TV functions, replace the batteries in the remote control.

Open the battery cover.

Insert two size-AAA batteries.

<(Place the batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+)

and (–) indications in the battery compartment.)

Replace the cover and slide in reverse until the lock snaps.

Precaution on battery use

Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

<Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.

<Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.

<Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old

batteries to leak chemicals.

<Remove batteries as soon as they are non-operable. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical

leakage is found, wipe with a cloth.

<If the remote control is not used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.

<The batteries (battery pack of batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

Assembling the stand and removing the stand column(Option)

If the stand is provided, please read these instructions thoroughly before attempting this installation.

You must install your TV into the stand in order for it to stand upright on a cabinet or other flat surface. If you intend

to mount your TV on a wall or other vertical surface, you must remove the stand column.

Cautions:

Make sure that you handle your TV very carefully when attempting assembly or removal of the stand. If you are not

sure of your ability to do this, or of your ability to use the tools necessary to complete this job, refer to a

professional installer or service personnel. The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages or injuries that

occur due to mishandling or improper assembly.

When using a table or bench as an aid to assembly, make sure that you put down a soft cushion or covering to

prevent accidental scratching or damage to your TV's finish.

The speaker is not intended to support the weight of your TV. Do not move or handle your TV by the speaker.

This can cause damage to your TV that is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

Before attempting assembly or removal of the stand, unplug the AC power cord.

To install the stand:

1. Remove the stand from the box and place it on a table or bench.

You must pay attention to the direction of the stand. The wide portion of the stand should go towards

the front of the TV.

2. Lay your TV flat (screen down) on the edge of a table or bench. Make sure that you put down a soft

cushion or cloth so that your TV is not scratched.

3. Insert the stand column into the stand socket, move the column steadily until the Locators on the

column align with the locating grooves on the stand. And align the holes in the stand with the holes in

the stand column, then secure the stand to the column with four M5 screws(provided).
