Safety Information

All TV’s operate on extremely high voltages. To prevent fire or electric shock, please follow the safety guidelines indicated in the

blue sheet supplied.

When moving the set two persons are needed. DO NOT push speaker nets placed on the both side of the screen to prevent 

these parts from deformation and do not grasp the front panels to prevent these parts from breaking off. Support screen 

bottom with one hand while grasping the top part with the other hand

.

•Do not block or cover the ventilation opening placed on the left bottom rear side of the set. For ventilation, leave a space of at least

10 cm from the wall.

•After transporting the set directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, pictures may

be blurred or show poor colour over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirrors or lenses inside 

the set. Let the moisture evaporate before using the set.

•To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed

down from the ceiling.

•The screen of this set has an anti-reflection screen coating. To avoid screen degradation, follow the mentioned below:

• To remove dust from the screen surface, wipe with the suplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth. 

• Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft dampened cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners. As a safety precaution, unplug the 

set before cleaning it.

•Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch the surface with hard objects.
