CE Statement:
Hereby, UMC Poland Sp. z o.o. declares that this LED
TV is in compliance with the essential requirements
and other relevant provisions of
RED Directive 2014/53/EU.
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 fi xed image for extended periods
of time.
3. Turn the power off when not in use.
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.

Wall Mounting and Set Security
SECURING THE TV TO A WALL
Securing the TV to a wall with anti-tip straps
For maximum safety in the home, when using a TV with its stand, anti-tip straps should be fi tted. These
are available from major retailers & 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 or near the TV set.
Note: When handling the set do not grip the LCD Panel.
Note: Do not pull the set when mounted on a bracket. If using a moveable bracket, adjust via the bracket and not the 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.”
televisions become lighter.
The risk has increased as
Wall mounting
IMPORTANT - Before drilling any holes in the wall ensure you are not drilling where there
could be 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.
VESA mounting points are located on the rear of the set, see example above.
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.

Fitting Wall Bracket Spacers
SECURING THE TV TO A WALL
When wall mounting the TV, ensure that the mains power cable and any other cables connected to
the TV from your external devices do not interfere with your wall bracket. On some models, you will
fi nd ‘spacers’ in the accessories pack that should be fi tted in between the rear of the TV and the wall
bracket in order to prevent trapping any cables. See Fig 1 below.
4 x Screw including D18 washer
4 x Spacer
These should be used as indicated in the picture below. Ensure that the screws are not overtightened as
this may cause damage to the set.
Note: the wall bracket type
shown in the diagram is for
illustration purposes only,
other brackets may be used
and it is recommended that the
spacers and screws are tested
to see if they fi t correctly
before fi nal assembly.
Important: Only use the screws provided to mount the set onto a wall bracket. When using a wall bracket,
please ensure the screws in the back of the TV set are not over tightened. Failure to use the correct screws
may lead to damage.
Fig 1.
Note: Spacers and screws are not supplied for all models, refer to the Quick Start Guide for more
information.
Note: Due to the use of rear facing HDMI connectors, right angled HDMI adapters can be utilized to
reduce the space required behind the set to allow the cable to bend safely. There are different types of
HDMI angled connectors, ensure that the one being used is suitable for the cable/socket types.

USB RECORDING FREEVIEW AND SAORVIEW ONLY
The USB Record/PVR function is only available in Freeview/Saorview mode and only when used in
conjunction with a compatible USB memory stick or USB hard drive. The benefi ts of this are as follows:
• Pause live TV and then playback, rewind and fast forward (up to live TV).
• One button record, if you decide you want to record the current programme.
• Easy recording from the 7 Day TV Guide.
Due to the nature of the product, it is necessary to use a high-speed USB memory stick (as the TV reads
from and writes to the memory stick at the same time, some memory sticks may not be suitable).
You can purchase high speed memory sticks from some computer stores, alternatively, we have a selection
of tested and compatible memory sticks available to purchase directly from the Helpline/website.

In areas that have excellent digital coverage, you may be able to use a loft
type aerial but it is highly likely that you will also need to connect a booster
between the back of the TV and the TV aerial wall socket. Unfortunately, to
receive a good enough digital signal, it is not possible to use a portable/
indoor type aerial.

Ensure the USB Memory Key is formatted to type FAT32.
If you wish to use a portable hard drive larger than 32GB, please note that
it must be formatted to the FAT32 le system in order to operate on this TV.
Windows XP/Vista computers are only capable of formatting up to 32GB,
therefore, you will need a software programme/utility to format larger hard

Updating Software
UPDATING SOFTWARE
There are a number of ways in which the software on your set can be updated. When your set is
produced, the software installed will ensure the correct operation of the set, this may need to be updated
should improvements be made and this is normally carried out automatically if the set is connected to the
internet. For sets which do not have internet connectivity or are not connected to the internet, updates
can be made via the USB socket on the back of the set.
Note: If your set is outside of guarantee and the installation of the software causes a different issue you
may be liable for a chargeable repair service. The reason for this is because you may have an inherent
fault which can cause corruption on one of the boards when installing the software. This could result
in your unit locking into SAFE mode whereby it is stuck in standby. This is not a fault with the software,
this would be caused by an existing faulty board that would have required a repair.
If you experience issues installing your software, and you do get locked into safe mode, you may wish to
try reinstalling the software on an alternate USB as sometimes if the TV cannot read the update due to
the USB Format/type.
Note: For further support with software updates, contact our technical support team or refer to the
‘Product Support’ section of the website. If the TV is using the newest software available it will not
attempt to update the software.
OTA
USB
OAD
Over the internet update. You will be noti ed when an OTA update is available for your set.
When the software is downloading and then updating, do not power down the set. This will
interrupt the process and may corrupt the set.
Software can be uploaded onto your set via a USB stick. Only use software recommended by
the manufacturer for this.
Over Air Download. Similar to OTA, but data is sent to the set via the Digital Television system.
