18 Precautions
Viewing the TV comfortably
•To view the TV comfortably, the recommended viewing position is from four to seven times the screen’s vertical length away from the TV.
•View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor light taxes your eyes. Watching the screen continuously for long periods of time can also tax your eyes.
Installing the unit
Use the specified wall-mount bracket or stand.
•Do not install the unit in places subject to extreme temperature, for example in direct sunlight, or near a radiator, or heating vent. If the unit is exposed to extreme temperature, the unit may heat up and this may cause deformation of the casing or cause the unit to malfunction.
•To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling.
• The unit is not disconnected from the mains when the unit is switched off. To disconnect the unit |
|
GB |
completely, pull the plug from the mains. |
|
Volume adjustment
•Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours. Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing the windows or using headphones is suggested.
•When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.
Handling the remote control
•Handle the remote control with care. Do not drop or step on it, or spill liquid of any kind onto it.
•Do not place the remote control in a location near a heat source, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, or in a damp room.
Handling and cleaning the screen surface of the unit
To avoid screen degradation, follow the advice given below. Do not push on the screen or scratch it with hard objects, or throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.
