Assembling the Table-Top Stand is required.

Refer to the supplied Table-Top Stand leaflet to assemble the Table-Top Stand.

Inserting batteries into the remote control

1 Remove the protection sheet. 2 Push and slide the cover upward.

Guidelines for Remote Control

• Point your remote control directly at the IR sensor located on your TV.

• Make sure that no objects are blocking the path between the remote control and the IR sensor on your TV.

• Fluorescent lamps can interfere with your remote control; try turning off the fluorescent lamps.

• If you are having problems with the remote control, reinsert or replace your batteries and make sure that they are correctly inserted.

Before setting up your TV

Some TV models are packaged with a detached Table-Top Stand so you can mount your TV to a wall right away. If you are not mounting the TV to a wall, you will need to attach the Table-Top Stand. You will need a Phillips screwdriver (not supplied) and maybe also a hexagon wrench (supplied with some models) and the supplied screws to complete the task. Look for the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction leaflet. Be sure to consider the following while setting up your TV:

• Disconnect all cables when carrying the TV.

• Carry the TV with the adequate number of people; larger size TVs require two or more people.

• Correct hand placement while carrying the TV is very important for safety and to avoid damage.

• Avoid moving the TV from a cold area to a warm area. Sudden room temperature changes may cause moisture condensation. This may cause the TV to show poor picture and/or poor color. Should this occur, allow moisture to evaporate completely before powering the TV on.

• Ensure that there are no objects in front of the TV.

• Do not expose the Intelligent Presence Sensor to direct sunlight or other strong light, as malfunction may occur.

1: Attaching the Table-Top

Stand

Refer to the supplied Table-Top Stand instruction leaflet for proper attachment.

• Do not put stress on the LCD panel or the

frame around the screen.

• Do not remove the Table-Top Stand for any

reason other than to install corresponding accessories on the TV.

• When removing the Table-Top Stand from the

TV, lay the display face down on a stable work surface that is larger than the TV.

• To prevent damaging the surface of the LCD

display, make sure to place a soft cloth on the work surface.

• When installing the TV on a wall, remove the

screws from the rear of the TV. The screws and number of screws depends on the TV model. (They are fastened in the screw holes for wall mounting.) Be sure to store the removed screws in a safe place, keeping them away from children.

• When attaching the Table-Top Stand again, be

sure to fasten the screws (previously removed) to the original holes on the rear of the TV.

2: Adjusting the viewing

angle of the TV
