-Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.
-Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
Product

Chapter 5 Other Information
Problems & Solutions
Note
: problems & solutions 1 to 2 are for the TV models which have network functions, so users of non-connected
TV models can disregard them.
1. Fail to link to the network.
-Check if your TV is connected with the network;
-Reboot your TV;
-Consult your internet service provider, to conrm
if access of your router is supported. Refer to the operation manual of your router.
-Make sure your TV is connected to a router, and
make sure your router is powered on. Check that your router/modem has an internet connection, and that your Ethernet cables/wireless connection is OK. Test your connection with a computer to make sure it is OK. Should the problem persist, contact customer service.
2. The video could not be played smoothly.
-Videos from your USB ash drive --- It may result
from data transmission, or its code ow is far beyond
the supported formats of this TV set.
-Videos downloaded from internet, or online videos.
a. It may be caused by the lower bandwidth of your
network. A high network speed is required to handle online videos.
b. Peak internet usage times may affect the
bandwidth.
c. Check if any other computers on the same
network are also operating, as they may be using up bandwidth. Especially if they are downloading or playing on-line videos.
d. The video may not be smooth itself, it is not the
problem of your TV or network.
3. When two mobile hard disks are connected with the TV at the same time, they will not be recognized some times.
-All mobile hard disks consume a lot of power, which may result in power supply problems. We recommend inserting only one hard disk, or a low power consumption mobile hard disk.
4. The video from a mobile hard disk (USB) is playing with no sound.
-The audio format of the video in your mobile hard disk is not supported by the TV player.
5. Some videos fail to play.
-The formats of the videos may not be supported by the TV, especially videos shot by certain kinds of cameras, generally with their private protocol of formats, which are not compatible with your TV.
6. Video stops playing midway.
-Mistakes may occur when videos are copied or
compressed, so they may automatically stop playing during playback.
7. What should I pay attention to, when I do SW updating?
-No power cuts when SW updating;
-Avoid any operations with your remote control when SW updating;
-Depending on your internet connection speed, the software updating process may take some time.
8. There are no distinct changes of TV interface after SW updating.
-Under certain conditions, SW updating may not only update or add new functions but also improve the performance of the TV set, without distinct changes to the user interface. Also, there may be no changes to the user interface at all.
9. What should I do when SW updating process stops due to a sudden power-off?
-If you do SW updating by USB, do not pluck the USB from your TV, and restart your TV to continue SW updating; If you do SW updating by Network, also restart your TV and check if it is well functioned.
10. With a USB device being inserted into the TV in advance, I am prompted that no USB devices are detected after I access Media, why?
-There may be something wrong with your mobile hard disk(s), damaged or with low voltage. You could increase power supply by inserting the two plugs on one end on the USB wire into TV's USB port simultaneously.
11. External device cannot be recognized.
-Some external devices (e.g. webcam, smart phone, tablet, game handle, and external wireless adapter) may not be compatible with the TV and cannot be supported for certain functions (nScreen, wireless display, gesture control, face recognition, if any). Please try a similar device. If it does not work, contact your local dealer.
12. Voice search does not work.
-Check if your remote control has been successfully paired with your TV.
-Check if the language setting is correct.
-Check if Google server is available and stable.

only.)
3. Change the sound system.
4. Broadcasting failure may happen.
Unorderly ripples on the picture
It is usually caused by local interference, such as cars, daylight lamps and hair driers. Adjust the antenna to minimize the interference.
Snowy dots and interference
If the antenna is located in the fringe area of a television signal where the signal is weak, the picture may be marred by dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the reception.

1. Adjust the position and orientation of the indoor/ outdoor antenna.
2. Check the connection of antenna.
3. Fine tune the channel.
4. Try another channel. Broadcasting failure may happen.
Ignition
Black spots or horizontal streaks appear, or the picture
utters or drifts. This is usually caused by interference
from car ignition system, neon lamps, electric drills, or other electrical appliance.
Ghost
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two
paths. One is the direct path, the other is reected from
tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.
Radio frequency interference
This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some case, loss of contrast in the picture. Find out and remove the radio interference source.
