ŶInstall TV on a stable surface
If a television is not positioned in a suffi ciently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling.
Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
•Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
•Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
•Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
•Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the
furniture and the television to a suitable support.
•Not standing the televisions on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.
•Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
ŶWhen cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug
•
Cleaning an energized TV may cause electrical shock.

When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove the mains plug
•This TV will still consume some power even in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is still connected to a
live socket outlet.
ŶTransport only in upright position
•
Transporting the TV with its display panel facing upright or downward may cause damage to the internal circuitry.

Do not display a still picture for a long time
This causes the image to remain on the plasma screen (“image retention”).
This is not considered a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.
Typical still images
•Programme number and other logos
•Image displayed in “4:3” mode
•Video game
•Computer image
To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered automatically after a few minutes if no signals are sent or no
operations are performed. (p. 47)
