    to prevent the mains 
    lead being damaged.

    damaged, it may result 
    in a fire or an electric 
    shock.
    – When you disconnect the mains 
    lead, disconnect it from the 
    mains socket first.
    – Be sure to grasp the plug when 
    disconnecting the mains lead. 
    Do not pull on the mains lead 
    itself.
    – Do not pinch, bend, or twist the 
    mains lead excessively. The core 
    conductors may be exposed or 
    broken.
    – Do not modify the mains lead.
    – Do not put anything heavy on the mains lead.
    – Keep the mains lead away from heat sources.
     If you damage the mains lead, stop using it and ask your

    fit may cause arcing and result in a fire. 
    Contact your electrician to have the mains 
    socket changed.Cleaning the mains plugUnplug the mains plug and clean it 
    regularly. If the plug is covered with dust 
    and it picks up moisture, its insulation 
    may deteriorate and result in a fire. OverloadingThis TV set is designed to operate 
    on a 220–240 V AC supply only.

    appliances to the same mains 
    socket as this could result in fire or 
    electric shock.When not in use If you will not be using the TV 
    set for several days, the TV set 
    should be disconnected from

    TV set is switched off.  To disconnect the TV set 
    completely, pull the plug from the mains. However, some 
    TV sets may have features which need the TV set to be left 
    in standby to work correctly. The instructions in this 
    manual will inform you if this applies.

    position is from four to seven times the screen’s vertical 
    length away from the TV set.
     To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct 
    illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot 
    lighting directed down from the ceiling.
     View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor 
    light or during long period of time, strains your eyes. Volume adjustment Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours. 
    Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing 
    the windows or using headphones is suggested.
     When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid 
    excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.LCD Screen Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision 
    technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective, 
    black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue, 
    or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This 
    is a structural property of the LCD screen and is not a 
    malfunction.
     Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on 
    top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD 
    screen may be damaged.
     If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in 
    the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not 
    indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the 
    temperature rises.
     Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed 
    continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.
     The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in 
    use. This is not a malfunction.
     The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal 
    and mercury. The fluorescent tube used in this TV set also 
    contains mercury. Follow your local ordinances and 
    regulations for disposal.
    Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of 
    the TV setBe sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the TV set 
    from mains socket before cleaning.
    To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation, 
    observe the following precautions.
     Do not push on the screen, scratch it with a hard object, or 
    throw anything at it. The screen may be damaged.
     Do not touch the display panel after operating the TV set 
    continuously for a long period as the display panel 
    becomes hot.
     We recommend that the screen surface be touched as little 
    as possible.
     To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe 
    gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a 
    soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent 
    solution.
     Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, 
    scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol, 
    benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or 
    maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl 
    materials may result in damage to the screen surface and 
    cabinet material.
     The ventilation holes can accumulate dust over time. To 
    ensure proper ventilation, we recommend removing the 
    dust periodically (once a month) using a vacuum cleaner.
     If the angle of the TV set is to be adjusted, steady the base 
    of the stand with your hand to prevent the TV set from 
    becoming separated from the stand. Be careful not to get 
    your fingers caught between the TV set and the stand.Optional Equipments Do not install optional components too close to the TV set. 
    Keep optional components at least 30 cm away from the 
    TV set. If a VCR is installed in front of the TV set or 
    beside the TV set, the picture may become distorted.
     Picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur if the TV 
    set is positioned in close proximity to any equipment 
    emitting electromagnetic radiation.
