ENGENGLISH

CAUTION

y

Install the product where no radio wave occurs.

y

There should be enough distance between an outside antenna and power lines to

keep the former from touching the latter even when the antenna falls.

This may cause an electric shock.

y

Do not install the product on places such as unstable shelves or inclined surfaces.

Also avoid places where there is vibration or where the product cannot be fully

supported.

Otherwise, the product may fall or flip over, which may cause injury or damage to

the product.

y

If you install the TV on a stand, you need to take actions to prevent the product

from overturning. Otherwise, the product may fall over, which may cause injury.

If you intend to mount the product to a wall, attach VESA standard mounting interface (optional

parts) to the back of the product. When you install the set to use the wall mounting bracket (optional

parts), fix it carefully so as not to drop.

y

Only use the attachments / accessories specified by the manufacturer.

y

When installing the antenna, consult with a qualified service technician. If not

installed by a qualified technician, this may create a fire hazard or an electric shock

hazard.

y

We recommend that you maintain a distance of at least 2 to 7 times the diagonal

screen size when watching TV.

If you watch TV for a long period of time, this may cause blurred vision.

y

Only use the specified type of battery.

This could cause damage to the remote control.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

ENGLISH

y

Do not turn the product On/Off by plugging-in or unplugging the power plug to the

ENG

wall outlet. (Do not use the power plug for switch.)

It may cause mechanical failure or could give an electric shock.

y

Please follow the installation instructions below to prevent the product from

overheating.

- The distance between the product and the wall should be more than 10 cm.

- Do not install the product in a place with no ventilation (e.g., on a bookshelf or in

a cupboard).

- Do not install the product on a carpet or cushion.

- Make sure the air vent is not blocked by a tablecloth or curtain.

Otherwise, this may result in fire.

y

Take care not to touch the ventilation openings when watching the TV for long

periods as the ventilation openings may become hot. This does not affect the

operation or performance of the product.

y

Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its appearance indicates damage or

deterioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced with an exact

replacement part by an authorized servicer.

y

Prevent dust collecting on the power plug pins or outlet.

This may cause a fire hazard.

y

Protect the power cord from physical or mechanical abuse, such as being twisted,

kinked, pinched, closed in a door, or walked upon. Pay particular attention to plugs,

wall outlets, and the point where the cord exits the appliance.

y

Do not press strongly upon the panel with a hand or sharp object such as nail,

pencil or pen, or make a scratch on it, as it may cause damage to screen.

y

Avoid touching the screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods of

time. Doing so may produce some temporary or permanent distortion/damage to

screen.

y

When cleaning the product and its components, unplug the power first and wipe it

with a soft cloth. Applying excessive force may cause scratches or discolouration.

Do not spray with water or wipe with a wet cloth. Never use glass cleaner, car or

industrial shiner, abrasives or wax, benzene, alcohol etc., which can damage the

product and its panel.

Otherwise, this may result in fire, electric shock or product damage (deformation,

corrosion or breakage).

y

As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall outlet, it is not disconnected from the AC power

source even if you turn off this unit by SWITCH.

y

When unplugging the cable, grab the plug and unplug it, by pulling at the plug.

Don’t pull at the cord to unplug the power cord from the power board, as this could

be hazardous.

y

When moving the product, make sure you turn the power off first. Then, unplug the

power cables, antenna cables and all connecting cables.

The TV set or power cord may be damaged, which may create a fire hazard or

cause electric shock.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

9

y

When moving or unpacking the product, work in pairs because the product is

ENGENGLISH

heavy.

Otherwise, this may result in injury.

y

Contact the service centre once a year to clean the internal parts of the product.

Accumulated dust can cause mechanical failure.

y

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the

apparatus 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 apparatus, the

apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has

been dropped.

y

If the product feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker” when it is turned

on. This is normal, there is nothing wrong with product.

y

The panel is a high technology display product with resolution of two million to six

million pixels. You may see tiny black dots and/or brightly coloured dots (red, blue

or green) at a size of 1 ppm on the panel. This does not indicate a malfunction and

does not affect the performance and reliability of the product.

This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject to

exchange or refund.

y

You may find different brightness and color of the panel depending on your viewing

position(left/right/top/down).

This phenomenon occurs due to the characteristic of the panel. It is not related with

the product performance, and it is not malfunction.

y

Displaying a still image (e.g., broadcasting channel logo, on-screen menu, scene from a video

game) for a prolonged time may cause damage to the screen, resulting in retention of the image,

which is known as image sticking. The warranty does not cover the product for image sticking.

Avoid displaying a fixed image on your television’s screen for a prolonged period (2 or more hours

for LCD, 1 or more hours for Plasma).

Also, if you watch the TV at a ratio of 4:3 for a long time, image sticking may occur on the borders of

the panel.

This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject to exchange or refund.

y

Generated Sound

“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is generated by

plastic thermal contraction due to tempera-ture and humidity. This noise is common for products

where thermal deformation is required. Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A low level noise is

generated from a high-speed switching circuit, which supplies a large amount of current to operate a

product. It varies depending on the product.

This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product.
