IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Please read these instructions. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the
appliance is operated.
Important Information Regarding Use of
Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other
Fixed Image Displays
The extended use of fi xed image program material
can cause a permanent “shadow image” on the
LCD/LED panel.
This background image is viewable on normal
programs in the form of a stationary fi xed
image. This type of irreversible LCD/LED panel
deterioration can be limited by observing the
following steps:
1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a
minimum viewing level.
2. Do not display the fi xed image for extended
periods of time.
3. Turn the power off when not in actual use.
Examples of images that you need to watch out
for are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):
• TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos
and pricing displays-especially if they are
bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast
graphics are less likely to cause ageing of the
screen.
• Time Displays
• Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for a
long period of time
• TV/DVD Menus: e.g. Listings of DVD disc content
• Pause Mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode
for long periods of time, e.g. When watching
DVDs or videos.
How do I dispose of this product?
UK: Waste electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste. Separate
disposal facilities exist. For your nearest facilities,
please see www.recycle-more.co.uk or in store for
details.
ROI: Waste electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste. Separate
disposal facilities exist. Check with your Local
Authority or retailer for recycling advice.
Batteries
• Do not expose batteries to high
temperatures, excessive heat,
prolonged sunshine or fi re
as this may cause leakage,
explosion or ignition.
• Observe the correct polarity when
inserting batteries.
• Do not use different types of
batteries together or mix old and
new batteries.
• Dispose of batteries in an
environmentally friendly way.
• Certain regions may regulate the
disposal of batteries.
Please consult your local authority.

(fi g.1) Attach the stand neck to the rear of the TV set
using the 3 x M(4x12) screws provided.
(fi g.2) Peel off the protective plastic cover then attach
the stand base to the stand neck.
When securing the self-tapping screws into the base of the stand (on fi rst
installation) the screws will be naturally tight as they are creating a thread
in the plastic of the stand neck in order to support a TV of this size.
a) Ensure the cross head screw driver tip fi ts correctly into the head of the
screw and that it is not too big or small.
b) Screw in all screws individually and partially before tightening all of the
screws individually and partially until they are fully inserted.
c) If they become very tight try loosening them slightly and then retightening them once again as this will continue the process of creating the
thread for the screws.

Detaching the Stand / Securing the TV to a Wall
DETACHING THE STAND
Detaching the stand
Remove the screws highlighted then remove the stand base and neck from the rear of the TV set.
Securing the TV to a Wall
For maximum security in the home when using a TV with its stand anti-tip straps should be fi tted. These
are available from supermarket websites and other websites and are an easy, inexpensive and effective
way of ensuring your TV stays safely upright. Straps are designed to be attached to the rear of the TV
and then tethered to the wall of the furniture the TV is stood on, if wood. (The 2 images should appear
underneath this text).
Note - Please ensure that children do not climb on the TV set.
A) Using one or both of the top wall-mounting
holes and screws (the screws are already supplied
in the wall mounting holes) fasten one end of the
fastening cord/s to the TV.
B) Secure the other end of the fastening cord/s to
your wall. (you will need screws/fi xings suitable
for your wall type - available separately from most
DIY stores).
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is urging people to take care with fl at-screen televisions.
RoSPA stated in 2010 that “Toddlers are particularly at risk of pulling fl at-screen televisions on to
themselves. They are unsteady on their feet and are attracted by colourful television images.”
The risk is increased as televisions become lighter.

Wall mounting
WALL MOUNTING
Wall mounting the TV
IMPORTANT - Before drilling any holes in the wall ensure you are not drilling
where there could be any electric wires, water or gas pipes.
1) Remove the four screws highlighted that are supplied in the wall
mounting holes.
2) The wall mount can now be easily attached to the mounting holes on
the rear of the TV.
For optimum viewing, if wall mounting the TV higher than eye level, the TV should be tilted downwards
so that the TV’s screen is ‘face on’. See fi g 1 and 2
For VESA wall mounting information please refer to the Technical Specifi cation page.
Important – If wall mounting this TV, only use the screws already provided in the wall mounting holes.
Using other screws which are longer could cause irreparable damage to internal parts.

USB Record
USB RECORD - DIGITAL/FREEVIEW MODE
USB RECORD – DIGITAL/FREEVIEW MODE
Built into this television is a USB record facility. This function is available in Digital/Freeview mode when
used in conjunction with a compatible USB memory stick or USB hard drive. The benefi ts of this are as
follows:
• Pause live TV and then playback, fast forward and rewind (up to live TV)
• One button record, if you decide you want to record the current programme
• Easy programmable recording from the 7 day TV Guide
• Record TV and watch/listen back on your computer/laptop
Due to the nature of the product, it is necessary to use a high speed USB memory stick (as the TV reads
from and writes to the memory stick at the same time, some memory sticks may not be suitable)
You can purchase high speed memory sticks from some computer stores, alternatively, we have a selection
of tested and compatible memory sticks available to purchase directly from the helpline/web site.
Minimum Specifi cation - USB Memory Stick
Read Speed 20 MB/s (Mega Byte Per Second)
Write Speed 6 MB/s (Mega Byte Per Second)
If you wish to use a USB portable hard drive larger than 32GB, please refer to the FAQ section at the rear
of this user guide.
Pause Live TV (Time Shift)
Pausing Live TV is very simple.
- Press the play/pause button and the television will pause and the live
content will be recorded. To resume watching press play/pause again.
- Press fast forward to go forward in a recording (i.e. to skip adverts)
- Press fast rewind to go back in a recording (i.e. if you fast forwarded
too far)
Tip: When you switch the TV to standby or change channel the Time Shift memory is wiped. To restart
time shift you must press play/pause button.
One Button Record
At any point in time you may decide to record the current channel that you are watching. To do this you
need to press the red button highlighted below.
Tip: This television contains one TV tuner, therefore it can only record the channel you are watching or
record one channel while the television is in standby mode.

illegal copying/recording it is not possible to record to/from any other input/output source.
