Additional Safety Information

LCD screen
• Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and has
effective pixels of 99.99 % or more, 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 panel and is not a malfunction.
• Do not expose the LCD screen surface to the sun. Doing so may damage the
screen surface.
• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of the TV. The image
may be uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged.
• If the TV 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 improve 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 the TV is in use. This is not a malfunction.
Fluorescent lamp
This TV uses a special fluorescent lamp as its light source. If the screen image
becomes dark, flickers, or does not appear, the fluorescent lamp has run down and
should be replaced. For replacement, consult qualified service personnel.
Cleaning the screen surface
The screen surface is finished with a special coating to prevent strong light
reflections. Be sure to observe the following precautions to avoid damaging the
finish.
• To remove dust from the screen surface, wipe gently with the supplied cleaning
cloth.
If dust is persistent, wipe with the cleaning cloth slightly moistened with a diluted
mild detergent solution. You can wash and repeatedly use the cleaning cloth.
• Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder or
strong solvent such as alcohol, benzene or thinner.
Carrying the TV
• Before carrying the TV, disconnect all the cables from the TV. If it drops, a serious
injury may result.
• When you carry the TV for repair or moving, pack it using the original carton and
packing material.
• When you carry the TV by hand hold it at the top and bottom. Do not hold the
rear cover only.
