	REGARDING BATTERY CARE
	Charge the battery before use.		ENGLISH
	• The battery used in the product is a lithium-ion battery. Even if	• Make sure to charge the battery until the charge indicator of
	the battery is charged and stored, the amount of charge in the	the product goes off (fully charged). The operating time is
	battery will drop.	shortened when using a battery which has not been fully
		charged. (For a detailed description of how to charge the
		battery, refer to page 20.)

Precautions to be Taken during Charging

•Charge the battery only at temperatures within the range of 50°F to 86°F (10°C to 30°C) (temperatures that are comfortable for people). At lower temperatures it becomes more difficult to charge the battery and the battery deteriorates. It is not possible to sufficiently charge the battery at high temperatures.

•The battery may become hot during charging or during use, but this is not a sign of malfunctioning.

•It may take more time to fully charge a hot battery.

Regarding Operating Time and Use under Low Temperatures for the Battery

•The battery has a certain life expectancy. The battery is consumed as time elapses even if the battery is not used. A battery that has been used for about a year may give you less operating time depending on the conditions under which it was stored. If a battery that has been charged correctly operates for a much shorter time than usual, it has reached the end of its life and must be replaced with a new battery.

•When the battery is at a low temperature (lower than 50°F (10°C)) in winter, the operating time may be very short. The battery undergoes an internal chemical reaction in order to generate electricity. When the temperature outside is lower, the chemical reaction becomes less vigorous and operating time becomes shorter.

How to Get the Most out of the Battery

• Turn off the power supply frequently when not in use in order to give the battery longer life.

Storage Precautions

•The battery is consumed as time elapses even if the battery is not used. To prevent consumption;

(1)If the battery will not be used for a long time, use the product to run down what is left of the battery charge and set “Battery charge” to “off” in the menu screen. (Refer to page 28.)

(2)Make sure to use the battery at least once every six months.

REGARDING BATTERY CARE (Continued)

Prohibited use for which safety is not guaranteed.

•Do not try to disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety mechanisms and protection devices. Damaging these safety devices may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, or to rupture or ignite.

•Do not connect the + and – terminals together with metal such as wires. Do not carry or store the battery together with metal objects such as necklaces and hairpins. Doing so may cause the battery to be short-circuited so as to cause an extremely large amount of electric current to flow, which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite, or may cause metal objects such as wire, necklaces, or hairpins to heat up.

•Do not expose batteries to fire or heat. Doing so may cause insulating materials to melt, damage gas exhaust valves or safety mechanisms, or ignite electrolytic solutions, which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

•Do not leave the battery in or near fire, stoves, or other high-temperature locations (of temperatures greater than 140°F (60°C)). If a resin separator is damaged by heat, the battery may become internally short-circuited and this may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

•Do not expose the battery to water or salt water, or allow the battery to get wet. If the protection device contained in the battery is broken, this may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

•Do not charge the battery near a fire or in direct sunlight. If the battery becomes hot, the protection device for preventing danger operates to disable the battery from being charged. If the protection device contained in the battery becomes broken, the battery is charged at an abnormal electric current or voltage. An abnormal chemical reaction occurs inside the battery which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

•Charge the battery in compliance with the specified charging conditions. If the battery is charged without compliance to the charging conditions (at temperatures greater than the specified temperature, at voltages and electric current greater than the specified amount or with modified chargers), the battery may be overcharged or charged at an abnormal electric current and an abnormal chemical reaction may occur inside the battery, which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

•Do not pierce the battery with nails, strike the battery with a hammer, or step on the battery. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

•Do not subject the battery to strong impacts or throw it away. If the protection device contained in the battery becomes broken, the battery is charged at an abnormal electric current or voltage. An abnormal chemical reaction may then occur inside the battery, which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

•Do not use the battery if it has been considerably damaged or deformed. This may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

•Do not solder directly onto the battery. Doing so may cause insulating materials to melt, or damage gas exhaust valves or the safety mechanism, which may cause the battery to generate heat or smoke, rupture or ignite.

•Use a battery case when carrying the battery.

•Keep the battery out of reach of children.

•In the event that the fluid inside the battery gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye because this may cause loss of eyesight. Rinse the eye with clean water and consult a doctor immediately. In the event that the fluid becomes attached to skin or clothes, wash it off with clean water immediately as this may cause injury.

■In the following cases, reception may become bad or impossible, which may cause sound and pictures to be interrupted (pictures and sound are stopped), or blocks of noise to appear.

•Using the product in a reinforced concrete building such as a condominium building or a house of a metal structure.

•Using the product at locations near large-scale metallic furniture.

•Using the product in a crowd of people or close to buildings or obstacles, etc.

•Using the product at locations where magnetic fields, electrostatic and interference occur due to devices such as Bluetooth, wireless LANs, or microwave ovens, etc. that utilize the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) as the product.

■ Regarding reflected radio waves

•Radio waves that reach a television receiver are radio waves (direct waves) directly transmitted from a transmitter and radio waves (reflected waves) arriving from various directions as a result of being reflected by walls, furniture, or buildings etc. There are good and bad positions in terms of wave conditions due to the influence of these reflected waves, which may cause poor picture reception. In this case, try changing the location of the TV receiver slightly. There are cases where pictures and sound are distorted or interrupted due to the reflected waves as a result of a person passing over or approaching between the transmitter and the television receiver.

When a signal other than a regular signal is input

•When a signal other than a regular signal that is incompatible with this unit is input, the screen may freeze, but this is not a malfunction.

•When a signal other than a regular signal is input from the Antenna, AV-IN1, AV-IN2, or AV-IN3 terminals, reception may be bad depending on the performance of the Wireless Center, and the message “THIS SIGNAL IS NOT COMPATIBLE” will display.

•Signals compatible with the Wireless Center are as follows:

H:15.625 kHz / V: 50.0 Hz, 59.52 Hz

H: 15.73426 kHz / V: 59.94 Hz

(Note: Reception may be available with AV-IN4.)

Charging while Viewing:

The battery will be charged, while you are viewing if “BATTERY CHARGE” is set to “ON” (page 28). In this case, charging takes about 12 hours. To preserve battery performance it is recommended that “BATTERY CHARGE” be set to “OFF” if battery power is not in constant use.

Note:

•Charging time may be longer depending on ambient temperature, battery condition and other factors. Check to make sure the CHARGE indicator is not lit before using.

General Reference for Battery Viewing Time

The viewing time differs according to the BRIGHTNESS setting (page 37).

Note:

•Operating time may be shorter depending on certain conditions such as use in cold climates.

When You Want to Check the Amount of Remaining Battery Power

Press the DISPLAY button on the remote control.

•Although the remaining battery power indicator will flash red for the first 10 seconds, it will remain lit constantly after that time.

•The amount of remaining charge is only displayed when operating on battery power.

•The remaining battery power indicator changes according to battery status, temperature and conditions of use. This indicator should be used as a reference for the amount of battery power remaining.

The remaining battery power indicator changes as shown below when the battery level becomes low.

(Green) (Green) (Red)

The remaining battery power indicator is displayed constantly regardless of whether the on-screen display is on or off when the battery level is low.

When Battery is not Charging Properly

•If the CHARGE indicator begins to flash extremely rapidly during charging, this means that charging is not proceeding normally.

•When the CHARGE indicator flashes at an interval of about a second during charging, the TV main unit is not in an appropriate temperature range for charging. The temperature range for charging should be approximately between 50°F (10°C) and 86°F (30°C).

•If the CHARGE indicator begins to flash extremely rapidly (at about 3 flashes a second) during charging, this means that charging is not proceeding normally because the battery may malfunction. Replace the battery with the new one.
