About LCD TV Temperature

When the LCD TV is used for an extended period, the panel
surrounds become warm. You may feel hot when touching there
by the hand.

Precautions

Viewing the TV

• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor light or
during long period of time, strains your eyes.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid
excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

LCD Screen

• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision
technology and 99.99 % or more of the pixels are effective,
black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, or
green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a
structural property of the LCD screen and is not a malfunction.

• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of
this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD screen may be
damaged.

• If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in the
picture or the picture may become dark. This does not indicate a
failure. These phenomena disappear as the temperature rises.

• Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed
continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.

• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in use. This
is not a malfunction.

• The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal. Follow
your local ordinances and regulations for disposal.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/
cabinet of the TV set

Be sure to unplug the AC power cord (mains lead) connected to
the TV set from AC power outlet (mains socket) before cleaning.
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,
observe the following precautions.

• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently
with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.

• Never spray water or detergent directly on
the TV set. It may drip to the bottom of the
screen or exterior parts and enter the TV set,
and may cause damage to the TV set.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad,
alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or
volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene,
thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining
prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in
damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.

• Do not touch the TV if your hand is covered in any chemical
substance such as hand cream or sunblock.

• Periodic vacuuming of the ventilation open ings is
recommended to ensure proper ventilation.

• When adjusting the angle of the TV set, move it slowly so as to
prevent the TV set from moving or slipping off from its table
stand.
