Wall-Mount Bracket, the TV may fall and cause

serious injury.

Optional wall mount

◊ When installing the TV using a Wall-Mount

Bracket, make sure you follow the operating

instructions supplied with the Wall-Mount

Bracket.

◊ Attach the brackets supplied with the Wall-

Mount Bracket.

◊ The TV is not designed for hanging from

the ceiling. It may fall and cause serious

Placement

The TV should be installed near an easily

accessible AC power outlet.

Observe the following to prevent the TV from

falling from the stand or wall mount.

◊ Place the TV on a stable, level

surface.

◊ Do not hang anything on the TV. Do

not allow

children to climb on the TV.

Do not install the TV in places subject to extreme

temperature, such as in direct sunlight, near a

radiator, or heating vent. If the TV is exposed to

extreme temperature, the TV may overheat and

cause deformation of the enclosure or cause

malfunction. Do not install the TV in a place

exposed to direct air conditioning. If the TV is

installed in such a location, moisture may

condense inside and may cause a malfunction.

◊ Do not place the TV in hot, oily,

humid or excessively dusty places.

Preventing the TV from toppling over

To prevent the TV from toppling over, secure the

TV to a wall or stand.

Placement for watching

We suggest you to watch the TV at a distance

of 3-7 times that of the screen height, and not

in excessive brightness. It is easy to cause eye

fatigue if you watch TV for too long or in a dark

room. To obtain clear picture, do not expose the

screen to direct illumination or sunlight. Use spot

lighting directed down from the ceiling if you can.

Use in outdoor

This TV is not designed for

outdoors installation. Do not

expose the TV to rain, as it may

result in a fire or an electric shock.

Also, do not expose the TV to

direct sunlight, as it may heat up

and become damaged.

Vehicle, ships and other vessels

Do not install this TV in a vehicle.

Car accidents may cause the TV to

fall down and cause injury.

Do not install this TV in a ship or

vessel. If the TV is exposed to

seawater, it may cause a fire or

damage the TV.

Medical institutions

VOLUME ADJUSTMENT

◊ Adjust the volume to avoid disturbing your

neighbors. Sound carries easily at night.

Therefore, we suggest you close the windows

or use headphones.

◊ When using headphones, adjust the volume

to appropriate levels, or hearing damage may

result.

LCD SCREEN

◊ Although the LCD screen is made with high-

precision technology and has effective

pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or

bright points or light (red, blue, or green)

may appear constantly on the LCD screen.

This is a structural property of the LCD

panel and is not a malfunction.

◊ The LCD screen is made with high-precision

technology. To achieve a high level of

performance and picture quality, this TV’s

backlight setting is set to maximize the

brightness of the TV. However, uneven

brightness may be observed when the LCD TV

is viewed in a dark environment without an

input source or a blank screen. This is a normal

condition, not a malfunction of the TV. To

improve this condition, change the Picture

mode, Backlight setting, enable the Light

Sensor, or turn on the Power management.

◊ Avoid exposing the LCD screen surface to

direct sunlight. It is likely to damage the LCD

panel.

◊ Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place

objects on top of the TV. The image may be

uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.

◊ If the TV is used in a cold place, a smear may

occur in the picture or the picture may become

dark. This does not indicate a failure. These

phenomena improve as the temperature rises.

◊ When still pictures are displayed continuously,

ghosting may occur. It should disappear after a

short period of time.

◊ The screen and cabinet get warm when the TV

is in use. This is a normal condition.

◊ Spraying insect repellent with volatile material

on the screen will cause damage.

◊ Do not make prolonged contact with rubber

or plastic material.

Broken pieces

Do not throw anything at the TV.

Doing so may break the screen glass

and cause serious injury.

If the surface of the TV cracks, unplug

the AC power cord before touching the

TV. Otherwise electric shock may result.

Handling of broken glass and liquid

crystal leakage

If the LCD panel gets damaged, crystalline liquid

leakage may occur, or scattered broken glass may

result. Do not touch broken glass or crystalline

liquid which is toxic, with bare hands as cuts,

poisoning or skin irritation may occur. Also do not

glass fragments or leaked crystalline liquid get

into your eyes or mouth. Should either contacted

your eyes or mouth, rinse the contacted area

thoroughly with water and consult your doctor.

SERVICING

Do not attempt to repair the TV

yourself, since opening the cabinet

may expose you to dangerous

voltage or other hazards. Ask qualified service

personnel to do the servicing for your TV.

Replacement parts

characteristics as the original parts.

Unauthorized substitutions may cause a fire,

an electric shock or other hazards.

Safety check
