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
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 long period of time
• TV/DVD Menus: e.g. Listings of DVD disk content
• Pause Mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. When watching DVDs or
videos.
Important - Once ‘shadow image/screen burn’ occurs, it will never disappear and is not repairable under
warranty.
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
• 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.

Ecohome mode: Select this mode for the most
energy effi cient TV set up*
If it does not appear, on the remote control, please
press [MENU] then 8-8-8-8 and the menu will appear.
Press OK on the remote control and tuning will start.
If you are missing channels, the reason for this is likely to be signal strength, you should
consider connecting signal booster and re-tuning the TV.
As part of our ongoing development to reduce power consumption, we have added an extra function to this Television
called ‘Ecohome’ (you will see this during the fi rst time installation set up). Power consumption using the Ecohome
function is approximately 15% lower than some other modes. The picture brightness is reduced using the Ecohome
function. If this function is not suitable for your viewing environment, you can select other modes as necessary. (Please
note, ‘Professional’ mode is for optimum default picture settings, however, power consumption is approximately 15%
higher than ‘Ecohome’ mode)
Please refer to the user guide section ‘Picture settings’ in order to change the mode to one that maybe more suitable for
your environment. There is also a shortcut button on the remote control called ‘P-Mode’ should you wish to change to
another mode.
6) After tuning the following screen will
appear.

1) Check you are in an area that can receive Freeview.
Visit www.freeview.co.uk.
2) Check you are using an aerial that is able to receive a good digital
signal. In most cases, you will need an outdoor digital hi-gain/wideband
aerial. In areas that have excellent Freeview coverage, you may be able
to use a loft type aerial but it is highly likely that you will also need to
connect a booster between the back of the TV and the TV aerial wall
socket. Unfortunately, to receive a good enough digital signal, it is not
possible to use a portable/indoor type aerial. This may change once the
analogue signal is switched off in 2012 and the Digital signal strength is
increased.
