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

Do not place this TV in a place where medical equipment is in use.

It may cause the medical equipment to malfunction.


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 highprecision 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

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician certifies in writing that he/she has used replacement parts specified by the manufacturer that have the same characteristics as the original parts.

Unauthorized substitutions may cause a fire, an electric shock or other hazards.

Safety check
