yCleaning
When cleaning, unplug the power cord and wipe
gently with a soft cloth to prevent scratching. Do
not spray water or other liquids directly on the
TV as electric shock may occur. Do not clean with
chemicals such as alcohol, thinners, or benzine.
yMoving
Make sure the product is turned off, unplugged, and
all cables have been removed. It may take 2 or more
people to carry larger TVs. Do not press or put stress
on the front panel of the TV.
yVentilation
Install your TV where there is proper ventilation. Do
not install in a confined space such as a bookcase. Do
not cover the product with cloth or other materials
while plugged. Do not install in excessively dusty
places.
yIf you smell smoke or other odors coming from
the TV, unplug the power cord and contact an
authorized service center.
yKeep the product away from direct sunlight.
yNever touch this apparatus or antenna during a
lightning storm.
yWhen mounting a TV on the wall, make sure not to
install the TV by hanging the power and signal cables
on the back of the TV.
yDo not allow an impact shock or any objects to fall
into the product, and do not drop anything onto the
screen.
yDISCONNECTING THE DEVICE FROM THE MAIN
POWER
The power plug is the disconnecting device. In
case of an emergency, the power plug must remain
readily accessible.
yBatteries
Store the accessories (battery, etc.) in a safe location
out of the reach of children.
yThis apparatus uses batteries. In your community
there might be regulations that require you
to dispose of these batteries properly due to
environmental considerations. Please contact your
local authorities for disposal or recycling information.
yDo not dispose of batteries in a fire.
yDo not short circuit, disassemble, or allow the
batteries to overheat.
yDo not use high voltage electrical equipment near
the TV, (e.g., bug zapper). This may result in product
malfunction.
yDot 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.
yGenerated 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.
yTake 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.
yDo 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.
yIf the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be a small
flicker when it is turned on. This is normal; there is
nothing wrong with TV. Some minute dot defects
may be visible on the screen, appearing as tiny red,
green, or blue spots. However, they have no adverse
effect on the TV’s performance. Avoid touching the
LCD screen or holding your finger(s) against it for
long periods of time. Doing so may produce some
temporary distortion effects on the screen.
Preventing image burn or burn-in
on your TV screen
yIf a fixed image displays on the TV screen for a long
period of time, it will be imprinted and become a
permanent disfigurement on the screen. This is image
burn or burn-in and not covered by the warranty.
yIf the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a long
period of time, image burn may occur on the
letterboxed area of the screen.
yAvoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen for
a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD, 1
or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent image
burn.
