Introduction

Precautions For Daily Use

Observe the following items

Maintenance of the cabinet

• When cleaning the cabinet, use a soft cloth (made of cotton, floss, etc.) to clean gently.

• Do not use a dry or damp rag mixed with chemicals, as this could cause the ingredients of the cabinet body to deteriorate or crack.

• Be careful not to use an abrasive cloth for cleaning or clean with excessive force, as this could scratch the surface of the cabinet.

• If the cabinet is greatly soiled, clean with a soft cloth (made of cotton, floss, etc.) soaked with a small amount of diluted neutral detergent and wrung out, and then clean with a soft dry cloth.

• Solvents such as benzene or thinner could cause the cabinet to deteriorate, or make its coating come off. Therefore do not use such solvents to clean the cabinet.

• Because plasticizer is included in the plastics, deterioration or the coating peeling off could occur when the cabinet comes into contact with some substances. Therefore keep it away from volatile substances such as insecticide. In addition, do not let it come into contact with objects made of rubber, resin, etc. for a long time.

Maintenance of the LCD panel

• Before cleaning the LCD panel, be sure to turn off the TV set and unplug the power cord from the outlet.

• When cleaning the LCD panel, use a dry and soft cloth (made of cotton, floss, etc.) to clean the surface of the LCD panel gently. For protecting the LCD panel, do not clean with a dirty cloth, detergent, or a dry or damp rag mixed with chemicals, as this could cause peeling of the panel surface.

• Be careful not to clean with an abrasive cloth or with excessive force, as this could cause the panel surface to be scratched.

• If the LCD panel is greatly soiled, clean it gently with a soft cloth (made of cotton, floss, etc.) soaked with a small amount of water (Do not clean with excessive force, so as to avoid the scratch of the panel surface).

• If dust sticks on the surface of the LCD panel, clean the panel with a commercially available cleaning brush (anti-static brush).

Important safety precautions

Caring for the cabinet

• Use a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) and gently wipe the surface of the cabinet.

• Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may deform the components of the main unit cabinet or cause cracking.

• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the cabinet.

• If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water and thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.

• The cabinet is primarily made of plastic. Avoid using benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as these may deform the cabinet and cause the paint to peel off.

• Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids.

• Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. Plasticizers inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to deform and cause the paint to peel off.

• When relocating the product placed on a cart, it must be moved with utmost care. Sudden stops, excessive force and uneven floor surface can cause the product to fall from the cart.

Caring for the front panel

• Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.

• Gently wipe the surface of the front panel with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.).

• To protect the front panel, do not use a dirty cloth, liquid cleaners, or a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.). This may damage the surface of the front panel.

• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the front panel.

• Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the front panel when it is really dirty (It may scratch the surface of the front panel when wiped strongly).

• If the front panel is dusty, use an anti-static brush, which is commercially available, to clean it.

• Water and moisture — Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet basement.

Introduction

• Do not place vases or any other water-filled containers on this product. The water may spill onto the product causing fire or electric shock.

• Stand — Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Doing so can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as damage to the product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the product. When mounting the product on a wall, be sure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Use only the mounting hardware recommended by the manufacturer.

• Ventilation — The vents and other openings in the cabinet are designed for ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can block ventilation openings. This product is not designed for built-in installation; do not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

• In case the product is dropped and the cabinet is damaged, be sure to turn off the power of the product, and unplug the power cord. If you continue to use the product, it may cause fire or electric shock. Contact your dealer.

• Do not open the rear cover of the cabinet to reconstruct the circuits. There exists high voltage within the cabinet and it may cause electric shock and injury. If maintenance is required, contact your dealer.

• The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is struck forcefully or with a sharp object. If the LCD panel is broken, be careful not to be injured by broken glass.

• Heat sources — Keep the product away from heat sources such as radiators, heaters, stoves and other heat-generating products (including amplifiers).

• To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the TV set.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not place the AC power cord under the TV set or other heavy items.

• Do not place heavy objects on this product or stand on it. Doing so could cause injury if the product overturns. Take special care near children and pets.

• Unplug the power cord before you move the TV set. If not unplugged beforehand, the power cord may become damaged and cause electric shock.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product with 2,073,600 pixels, giving you fine picture details. Due to the very large number of pixels, occasionally a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green, red or yellow. This is within product specifications and does not constitute a fault.

Precautions when transporting the TV

• When transporting the TV, never carry it by holding or otherwise putting pressure onto the display. Be sure to always carry the TV by two people holding it with two hands — one hand on each side of the TV.

If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.

• Only using furniture that can safely 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.

• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.

• Do not display a still picture for a long time, as this could cause an afterimage to remain.

• Install the product on the place where the AC cord can be unplugged easily from the AC outlet, or from the AC INPUT terminal on the rear of the product.

NOTE

• The above are pictures for reference only; the actual item might be different.
