☐ This TV contains a strong magnet in the
speaker unit that generates a magnetic field.
Keep any items susceptible to magnetic
fields away from the speaker.
☐ Electro-magnetic radiation emitted from
optional equipment installed too close to
the TV may cause picture distortion and/or
noisy sound.
Wall-mount use
☐ Wall-mount installation
requires the use of a
Wall-Mount Bracket. When
installing or removing the TV
and the Wall-Mount Bracket, be sure to use
qualified contractors. If not properly

AC POWER CORD
☐ Do not touch the AC power cord
and its plug with wet hands as it
may cause electric shock.
☐ When disconnecting the AC
power cord, grasp the plug and
disconnect from the wall outlet
first. Do not pull by the cord.
☐ Keep the power cord away from
heat sources.
A TV set with a three-wire grounding type AC
power cord plug must be connected to an AC
power outlet with a protective earthing
connection (only applicable for Class I
product).

never be used.
ACCESSORIES
Keep small accessories out of children’s reach.
Use only the specified accessories with this TV.
Volume Adjustment
☐ When using headphones,
adjust the volume to avoid
excessive audio levels from
causing possible hearing loss.
BATTERIES
Your remote control batteries are consumables.
☐ Dispose of batteries in an environmentally
friendly way. Certain regions may regulate
the disposal of batteries. Please consult your
local authority.
☐ Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
☐ Do not short-circuit, disassemble or
overheat the batteries.
☐ Batteries must not be exposed to excessive
heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
LCD SCREEN
☐ Although the LCD screen is made with
high-precision technology and has effective
pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or
bright points of light (red, blue, or green)
may appear constantly on the LCD screen.
This is a structural property of the LCD
panel and is not a malfunction.
☐ The LCD screen is made with
high-precision technology and to achieve a
high level of performance and picture
quality, this TV’s backlight setting is set to
maximize the brightness of the TV.
However, uneven brightness may be
observed when the LCD TV is viewed in a
dark ambient without an input source or
with a blank screen. This condition is
normal and not a malfunction of the TV.
Changing the Picture mode, Backlight
setting, enabling the Light Sensor (if
applicable), or turning on the Power
Management will improve this condition.
☐ To avoid damaging the LCD panel, do not
expose the LCD screen to direct sunlight.
☐ Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or
place objects on top of the TV. The images
may be uneven or the LCD panel may be
damaged.

☐ If the TV is used in a cold place, the picture
may smear or become dark. This does not
indicate a failure. These phenomena
improve as the temperature rises.
☐ Ghosting may occur when still pictures are
displayed continuously. It should disappear
after a few moments.
☐ The LCD screen and enclosure get warm
when the TV is in use. This is not a
malfunction.
☐ Avoid spraying insect repellent with volatile
material on the LCD screen.
☐ Avoid prolonged contact with rubber or
plastic material to the LCD screen.
Broken screen panel
Do not throw anything at the
LCD screen and its edges as the
impact can cause the LCD screen
glass to crack, break or shatter.
☐ If damage occurs to the LCD
panel, small traces of liquid crystal
sandwiched between the glass may be found
on scattered broken glass.
☐ Do not touch the broken glass with bare
hands. As with any broken glass pieces,
avoid skin contact and exposure to your
eyes or mouth. Avoid direct contact with
liquid or damp surfaces of the glass as these
may have an adverse effect on some people.
The contacted area should be rinsed
thoroughly with water. If conditions persist,
see your doctor.
☐ If the surface of the TV cracks, do not touch
the TV until you have unplugged the AC
power cord. Otherwise electric shock may
result.
