￿Do not use in hot and cold rooms (locations)

When the unit is used in rooms (locations) with low temperature, the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not a malfunction, and the unit will recover when the temperature returns to normal.

Do not leave the unit in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the unit in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.

(Storage temperature: 0°C to +50°C Working temperature: 5°C to +40°C )

Note:

If your problem is not solved, restart your TV by turning it off and then on again once.

Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself.
