Important safety instruction
Maintenance
• To clean your TV, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If the
surfaces are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dipped
in a soap and water solution or a weak detergent
solution.
• Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzene to clean
this unit.
• Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the
instructions that came with the cloth carefully.
CAUTION: If water or other liquid enters the
television through the display panel surface,
a malfunction may occur.
Packaging
• The safest way to transport your item is in the
original box/packaging - please save your packaging
for this.
• You will need the original box/packaging in the
event of warranty/service repair or support. We
are unable to carry out warranty/service if you are
unable to package the item correctly.
Important information regarding use of video
games, computers, captions or other fi xed image
displays
The extended use of fi xed image program material can cause
a permanent "shadow image" on the LCD/LED panel, also
known as "screen burn".
This "shadow image" can appear in the background during
normal viewing. This type of irreversible LCD/LED panel
deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum
suitable viewing level.
2. Do not display the fi xed image for extended periods
of time.
3. Turn the power off when not in use.
Examples of images that are more likely to cause "screen burn"
are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):
• TV channel logos: e.g. shopping channel logos and
pricing displays - especially if they are bright and
stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less
likely to cause ageing of the screen.
• Time displays.
• Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for a long
period of time
• TV/DVD menus: e.g. listings of DVD disc content.
• Pause mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode
for long periods of time, e.g. when watching DVDs
or videos.
Important: Once 'shadow image/screen burn'
occurs, it will never disappear and is not
repairable under warranty.
