Care
For better performance and safer operation of your TV,
follow these recommendations and precautions:
26) If you use the TV in a room with a temperature of 0°C
or less, the picture brightness may vary until the LCD
TV warms up. This is not a sign of a malfunction.
27) Always unplug the TV before
cleaning. Clean only with a dry
cloth.
Never use liquid or aerosol
cleaners.
28) When dust has collected on the
power plug, remove the plug and
clean off the dust.
Do not pull the power cord to
remove the plug.
Do not touch the power plug
with a wet hand.
29) WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK!
Never spill liquids or push objects of any kind
into the TV cabinet slots.
30) If you place the TV facing the sun, the LCD screen will
be damaged. Be careful about this when locating the
TV in places such as in front of a window or outside
the room.

interference with the images, sound, etc. of other
electronic equipment that is sensitive to
electromagnetic waves (for example, AM radios and
video equipment) under certain installation conditions.
In particular, it may affect the electronic equipment
near the residential unit where the LCD TV is used.

disconnect the antenna from the TV if you leave the
TV unattended or unused for long periods of time.
33) During normal use, the TV may
make occasional snapping or
popping sounds. This is normal,
especially when the unit is being

Such pixels are not visible when the picture is viewed
from a normal viewing distance.
