IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 5
••Dot Defect
The panel is a high technology product with resolution of two million to six million pixels. In a very few cases, you could see fine dots on the screen while you’re viewing the TV.
Those dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the performance and reliability of the TV.
••Generated Sound
Cracking noise A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is generated by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature 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 upon the product.
This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product.
••Take care not to touch the ventilation openings. When watching the TV for a long period, the ventilation openings may become hot. This does not affect the performance of the product or cause defects in the product.
••Do not install this product on a wall if it could be exposed to oil or oil mist. This may damage the product and cause it to fall.
