It is the responsibility of
the user to make sure all
precautions and warnings
are heeded and followed.

1

Disconnect device: plug/coupler or all-pole mains switch locationˈ

2

Do not display still images and
partially still images on the LED
panel for more than 2 hours as it
can cause screen image retention.
This image retention is also known
as “screen burn”. To avoid
such image retention, reduce the
degree of brightness and contrast
of the screen when displaying a
still image.
Watching the LED TV in 4:3 format
for a long period of time may leave
traces of borders displayed on the
left, right and centre of the screen
caused by the difference of light
emission on the screen. Playing a
DVD or a game console may cause
a similar effect to the screen. Damages
caused by the above effect are not
covered by the Warranty.
Displaying still images from Video
games and PC for longer than a
certain period of time may produce
partial after-images. To prevent this
effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and
‘contrast’ when displaying still images.

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.

and modification of the product without authorisation from the manufacturer’s or authorised
service agent.
