Installation and important information
Where to install
Locate the television away from direct sunlight and strong lights, soft, indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing. Place the television directly on the floor or a sturdy platform. The mounting surface should be flat and steady, it should then be secured to the wall with a sturdy tie using the hook on the back of the television, this will prevent it from falling over.
If you install the television onto a soft floor covering, make sure that the covering will not be damaged by the weight of the television. Always take great care when moving this television as it could mark polished floor surfaces or damage floor coverings.Use curtains or blinds to prevent direct sunlight falling on the screen.
Make sure the television is located in a position where it cannot be pushed or hit by objects and that small items cannot be inserted into slots or openings in the case.
Cleaning the screen and cabinet…
Turn off the power, clean the screen and cabinet with a soft, dry cloth. We recommend that you do not use any proprietary polishes or solvents on the screen or cabinet as this may cause damage.
Disposal…
When the television reaches the end of its useful life please dispose of it in accordance with Local Government Regulations or at a recycling centre.
If stationary images generated by teletext, channel identification logos, computer displays, video games, on screen menus, etc. are left on the television screen for any length of time they could become conspicuous, it is always advisable to reduce both the brightness and contrast settings.
