To prevent spread of fi re,
keep candles or other open
fl ames away from this product
at all times

• To reduce the risk of fi re, electric shock or damage

to the TV, do not expose it to dust, rain or moisture.
Never expose the TV to dripping or splashing and do
not place objects fi lled with liquids on or near the TV.

• Do not connect any external devices (DVD player,

Disconnect both the TV and device from the mains
before connecting. Only switch appliances on when
the connection process is complete.

• Do not place the television in a confi ned space and

do not obstruct the ventilation openings at the rear
of the television.

• When installing on a wall, ensure the TV is at

least 5cm from the wall for ventilation.

• Always ensure that the TV’s ventilation openings

are not covered with items such as newspapers,
table-cloths, curtains, etc.

• Dispose of this television and any components

including batteries in an environmentally friendly
manner. If in doubt, please contact your local
authority for details of recycling.

• Ensure this TV is used in moderate climates only.

WARNING: Never place a television set on an
unstable location. A television set may fall,
causing serious personal injury or death. Many
injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided
by taking simple precautions such as:

• Use cabinets or stands recommended by the

manufacturer of the television set.

• Only use furniture that can safely support the

television set.

• Ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge

of the supporting furniture.

• Do not place the television set on tall furniture

(for example, cupboards or bookcases) without
anchoring both the furniture and the television
set to a suitable support.

• Do not place the television set on cloth or other

materials that may be located between the television
set and supporting furniture.

• Please educate children about the dangers of

climbing on furniture to reach the television set or
its controls.

• If your existing television set is being retained and

relocated, the same considerations as above should
be applied.

Safety

• For your safety, this appliance is fi tted with a

fused 3 pin mains plug. Should the fuse need to be
replaced, ensure that any replacement is of the same
amperage and approved with the BSI mark.

• Never try and replace the mains plug unless you have

adequate qualifi cations and are legally authorised to
do so. In the event that a replacement mains cable
is required, contact the manufacturer for a suitable
replacement.

• Never use the television if it is damaged in any way.

• Always place the television on a fl at level surface

avoiding anywhere which may be subject to
strong vibration.

• The ideal distance to watch the television is

approximately fi ve times the length of the diagonal
measurements of the TV screen.

• Ensure the television is not placed on top of the

power cable as the weight of the television may
damage the cable and cause a safety hazard.

• Never place mobile phones, speakers or any

other device which may cause magnetic or radio
interference, near the television. If interference is
apparent, move the device causing the interference
away from the television.

• To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, please

use the mains plug located on the underside/rear of
the TV.

• Ensure that the mains plug is always easily accessible.

Important safety instruction

Maintenance

• To clean your TV, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If the

surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped
in a soap and water solution or a weak detergent
solution.

• Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzene to clean

this unit.

• Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the

instructions that came with the cloth carefully.

Examples of images that are more likely to cause “screen burn”
are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):

• TV channel logos: e.g. shopping channel logos and

pricing displays - especially if they are bright and
stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less
likely to cause ageing of the screen.

• Time displays.

• Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for a long

period of time

• TV/DVD menus: e.g. listings of DVD disc content.

• Pause mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode

for long periods of time, e.g. when watching DVDs
or videos.

Important: Once ‘shadow image/screen burn’
occurs, it will never disappear and is not
repairable under warranty.

How do I dispose of this product?

CAUTION: If water or other liquid enters the
television through the display panel surface,
a malfunction may occur.

Packaging

• The safest way to transport your item is in the

original box/packaging - please save your packaging
for this.

• You will need the original box/packaging in the

event of warranty/service repair or support. We
are unable to carry out warranty/service if you are
unable to package the item correctly.

Important information regarding use of video
games, computers, captions or other  xed image
displays

The extended use of  xed image program material can cause
a permanent “shadow image” on the LCD/LED panel, also
known as “screen burn”.

UK: Waste electrical products should not
be disposed of with household waste.
Please dispose of the product at a
designated collection point for recycling
of WEEE. For your nearest facilities, please
see www.recycle-more.co.uk or in store
for details.

ROI: Waste electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste. Separate
disposal facilities exist. Check with your local
authority or retailer for recycling advice.

Cd

Batteries

• Do not expose batteries to high temperatures,

excessive heat, prolonged sunshine or fi re as this may
cause leakage, explosion or ignition.
Observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries.

• Do not use different types of batteries together or

mix old and new batteries.

• Dispose of batteries in an environmentally

friendly way.

• Certain regions may regulate the disposal of

batteries. Please consult your local authority.

This “shadow image” can appear in the background during
normal viewing. This type of irreversible LCD/LED panel
deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:

1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum
suitable viewing level.

2. Do not display the  xed image for extended periods
of time.

3. Turn the power o when not in use.

Securing the TV to a wall/wall mounting

SECURING THE TV TO A WALL

Securing the TV to a wall using anti-tip straps

For maximum security in the home, when using a TV with its stand, anti-tip straps should be fi tted. These
are available from supermarket websites and other websites and are an easy, inexpensive and effective
way of ensuring your TV stays safely upright. Straps are designed to be attached to the rear of the TV and
then tethered to the wall or the furniture the TV is stood on, these are fi tted as follows.

A) Using one or both of the top wall-mounting
holes and screws fasten one end of the fastening
cord/s to the TV. (the screws are already supplied in
the wall mounting holes)

B) Secure the other end of the fastening cord/s to
your wall. (you will need screws/fi xings suitable
for your wall type - available separately from most
DIY stores).

Note - Please ensure that children do not climb on the TV set.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is urging people to take care with fl at-screen televisions.

RoSPA stated in 2010 that “Toddlers are particularly at risk of pulling fl at-screen televisions on to
themselves. They are unsteady on their feet and are attracted by colourful television images.”

The risk is increased as televisions become lighter.

Wall mounting

IMPORTANT - Before drilling any holes in the wall ensure you are not drilling where there
could be any electrical wires, water or gas pipes.

1) Remove the four screws located at the back of the TV set.

2) The wall mount can now be easily attached to the mounting holes, located
on the back of the TV, using the same four screws removed.

For VESA wall mounting information please refer to the Technical
Specifi cation page.

For optimum viewing, if wall mounting the TV higher than eye level, the TV should be tilted downwards
so that the TV’s screen is ‘face on’. See fi g 1 and 2.
