- A location exposed to direct sunlight

- An area with high humidity such as a bathroom

- Near any heat source such as stoves and other devices that produce heat

- Near kitchen counters or humidifiers where they can easily be exposed to steam 

or oil

- An area exposed to rain or wind

- Near containers of water such as vases

Otherwise, this may result in fire, electric shock, malfunction or product deformation.

y

Do not place the product where it might be exposed to dust. 

This may cause a fire hazard.

y

Mains Plug is the TV connecting/disconnecting device to AC mains electric supply.

This plug must remain readily attached and operable when TV is in use.

y

Do not touch the power plug with wet hands. Additionally, if the cord pin is wet or 

covered with dust, dry the power plug completely or wipe dust off. 

You may be electrocuted due to excess moisture.

y

Make sure  to connect Mains cable to compliant AC mains socket with Grounded 

earth pin. (Except for devices which are not grounded on earth.) Otherwise 

possibility  you may be electrocuted or injured.

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

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.

y

When moving or unpacking the product, work in pairs because the product is 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 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 colour 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 depend-ing 

on the product. 

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