IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Your TV is designed and manufactured to operate within defined design limits.
Misuse may result in electric shock or fire. To prevent your TV from being damaged,
the following instructions should be observed for the installation, use, and
maintenance of your TV. Read the following safety instructions before operating your
TV. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future reference.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock or component damage, switch off the power
before connecting other components to your TV.
• Heed all warnings.
• Follow all instructions.
• Do not use this TV near water.
• Clean only with dry cloth.
• Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
• Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or
other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A
polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type
plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third
prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
• Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at the ends
where the plug is located, near convenience receptacles, or where they exit from
the TV.
• Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
• Use only with the stand, tripod, or bracket specified by the
manufacturer, or sold with the TV.
• When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/TV
combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
• Unplug the power cord before cleaning your TV.
• Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when
the TV has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is
damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the TV, the TV
has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
• CAUTION: Always use a power outlet that is properly grounded.
• Unplug this TV during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
• When moving your TV from an area of low temperature to an area of high
temperature, condensation may form in the housing. Wait before turning on your
TV to avoid causing fire, electric shock, or component damage.
• A distance of at least three feet should be maintained between your TV and any
heat source, such as a radiator, heater, oven, amplifier, etc. Do not install your TV
close to smoke. Operating your TV close to smoke or moisture may cause fire or
electric shock.
• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the TV are provided for ventilation.
To ensure reliable operation of your TV and to protect it from overheating,
be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place your TV in a
bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
• Never push any object into the slots and openings on your TV. Do not place any
objects on the top of your TV. Doing so could short circuit parts causing a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquids on your TV.
• Your TV should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on
the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult
your dealer or local power company.
• Do not apply pressure or throw objects at your TV. This may compromise the
integrity of the TV. The manufacturer’s warranty does not cover user abuse or
improper installations.
• The power cord must be replaced when using different voltage than the voltage
specified. For more information, contact your dealer.
• When connected to a power outlet, power is always flowing into your TV. To
totally disconnect power, unplug the power cord.

triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-isolated,
dangerous voltage within the inside of your TV that may be of
sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire
or electric shock.
• The wall socket should be installed near your TV and easily accessible.
• Only power of the marked voltage can be used for your TV. Any other voltage
than the specified voltage may cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not touch the power cord during lightning. To avoid electric shock, avoid
handling the power cord during electrical storms.
3
• Unplug your TV during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long
period of time. This will protect your TV from damage due to power surges.
• Do not attempt to repair or service your TV yourself. Opening or removing the
back cover may expose you to high voltages, electric shock, and other hazards. If
repair is required, contact your dealer and refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel.
• WARNING: Keep your TV away from moisture. Do not expose your TV to rain or
moisture. If water penetrates into your TV, unplug the power cord and contact
your dealer. Continuous use in this case may result in fire or electric shock.
• Do not use your TV if any abnormality occurs. If any smoke or odor becomes
apparent, unplug the power cord and contact your dealer immediately. Do not
try to repair your TV yourself.
• Avoid using dropped or damaged appliances. If your TV is dropped and the
housing is damaged, the internal components may function abnormally. Unplug
the power cord immediately and contact your dealer for repair. Continued use of
your TV may cause fire or electric shock.
• Do not install your TV in an area with heavy dust or high humidity. Operating
your TV in environments with heavy dust or high humidity may cause fire or
electric shock.
• Follow instructions for moving your TV. Ensure that the power cord and any
other cables are unplugged before moving your TV.

on the power cord may damage the wires inside the cord and cause fire or
electric shock. When your TV will not be used for an extended period of time,
unplug the power cord.
• To reduce risk of electric shock, do not touch the connector with wet hands.
• Do not expose TV to liquids, including dripping or splashing.
• Do not place objects filled with liquid, such as vases, on the TV.

• CAUTION: These servicing instructions are for use by qualified service
personnel only. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not perform any servicing
other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified
to do so.
• The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is
intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated DANGEROUS VOLTAGE
within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute
a risk of electrical shock to persons.

loss and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears). With continued exposure to
loud noises, ears may become accustomed to the sound level, which may result
in permanent damage to hearing without any noticeable discomfort.
• Install the TV where it cannot be pulled, pushed or knocked over.
• Do not allow children to hang onto the product.
• Store the accessories (remote, batteries, etc.) in a location safely out of the
reach of children.
• The American Academy of Pediatrics discourages use of screen media for
children younger than eighteen months of age.
• WARNING — Stability Hazard: A television set may fall, causing serious
personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided
by taking simple precautions such as:
• ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting methods recommended by the
manufacturer of the television set.
• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the television set.
• ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting
furniture.
• ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach
the television set or its controls.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be
tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
• NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.
• NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or
bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a
suitable support.
• NEVER place the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located
between the television set and supporting furniture.
• NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote
controls, on the top of the television or furniture on which the television is
placed.
• If the existing television set is going to be retained and relocated, the same
considerations as above should be applied.
• Disposal of a battery into fire or a hot oven, or mechanically crushing or cutting
of a battery can result in an explosion.
• Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature can result in an explosion or
the leakage of flammable liquid or gas.

screen based on the content.

Navigation buttons to adjust the setting:
• Backlight (SDR content) — Adjusts the LED brightness to affect the overall
brilliance of the picture.
• Brightness — Adjusts the black level of the picture. When this setting is too low,
the picture may be too dark to distinguish details. When this setting is too high,
the picture may appear faded or washed out.
• Contrast — Adjusts the white level of the picture. When this setting is too low,
the picture may appear dark. When this setting is too high, the picture may
appear faded or washed out. If the setting is too high or too low, detail may be
difficult to distinguish in dark or bright areas of the picture.
• Color — Adjusts the intensity of the picture colors.
Adjusting the color temperature changes the white balance of the picture.
To adjust the color temperature:
Menu > Picture > Color Temperature
Use the Navigation buttons on the remote to highlight a color temperature preset,

• Vivid — Sets the picture settings to values that produce a brighter, more
vivid picture.
• Bright — Great for viewing everyday TV, such as news and TV shows, that
requires a brighter image with motion enhancements.
• Calibrated — Accurate colors intended for cinema content viewing in a
bright room.
• Calibrated Dark — Accurate colors intended for cinema content viewing in a
dark room or at nighttime.
• Game — Reduces throughput delays and optimizes the picture settings for
displaying game console output. Also the preferred picture mode for computer
mode.
• Sports — Sets the picture settings to values ideal for watching sporting events
with motion control setting.
• Tint — Adjusts the hue of the picture. This setting is useful in adjusting the flesh
tones in the picture. If flesh appears too orange, reduce the level of color before
adjusting tint.
• Sharpness — Adjusts the edge sharpness of picture elements. It can be used to
sharpen non-HD (high definition) content; however, it will not produce detail that
does not otherwise exist.
TIP: If you save changes to the setting for a picture mode, an
asterisk will appear after its name. See
