Safety Information

LCD Screen

• Although the LCD screen is made with highprecision 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 panel and is not a malfunction.

• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to the sun. Doing so may damage the screen surface.

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

• If this unit 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 unit is in use. This is not a malfunction.

Fluorescent lamp

This unit uses a special fluorescent lamp as its light source. If the screen image becomes dark, flickers, or does not appear, the fluorescent lamp has run down and should be replaced. For replacement, consult qualified service personnel.

Heat

Do not touch the surface of the unit. It remains hot, even after the unit has been turned off for some time.

Cleaning the screen surface

The screen surface is finished with a special coating to prevent strong light reflections. Be sure to observe the following precautions to avoid damaging the finish.

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

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/ acid cleaner, scouring powder, or strong solvent such as alcohol, benzine or thinner.

Adjusting the viewing angle of the TV (KLVSG21M1 only)

When adjusting the angle, hold the stand with your hand so that it does not come loose or fall off. Be careful not to catch your fingers between the TV and the stand.

AC power cord

If you damage the AC power cord, it may result in fire or electric shock.

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.

• After transporting the display unit directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor color over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirrors or lenses inside the unit. In this case let the moisture evaporate before using the unit.

• 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 AC power source when the unit is switched off. To disconnect the unit completely, pull the plug from the AC power outlet.

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.

• Be sure to unplug the AC power cord before cleaning the unit.

• Do not touch the display panel after operating the unit continuously for a long period as the display panel becomes hot.

• We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little as possible.

• Clean the screen with a soft cloth.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine. Using such materials may result in damage to the screen surface.

Cleaning the cabinet

• Be sure to unplug the AC power cord before cleaning the cabinet.

• Clean the cabinet with a soft cloth.

• Note that material deterioration or screen coating degradation may occur if the unit is exposed to a volatile solvent, such as alcohol, thinner, benzine or insecticide, or if prolonged contact is maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.

• The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over a period of time. To ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
