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.

Detaching the stand and wall mounting

DETACHING THE STAND

Detaching the Stand

1) Remove the screws highlighted

IMPORTANT - Before drilling any holes in the wall ensure you are not drilling where there could be any electric wires, water or gas pipes.

Wall mounting the TV

This television requires a VESA 400 x 200 wall mount, or equivalent.

1) Remove the four screws highlighted below.

2) The wall mount can now be easily attached to the mounting holes on the rear of the TV. These holes are indicated in the picture below.

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

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.

6) After tuning the following screen will appear.

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.
