Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage matches the voltage indicated on the identification sticker located at the back of your set. Where the mains plug, AC inlet or an appliance coupler is used as disconnect device, it shall remain readily operable.
On certain models, the light indicator is located at the side of the TV set. The absence of a light indication at the front does not mean that the TV set is fully disconnected from the mains. To disconnect the TV set completely, the mains plug must be pulled out.
The TV set's components are sensitive to heat. The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35º Celsius. Do not cover the vents at the back or sides of the TV set. Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation. Install the appliance away from any source of heat (fireplace, etc.) or appliances creating strong magnetic or electric fields.
Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should not exceed 75% humidity. Moving the set from a cold place to a warm one can cause condensation on the screen (and on some components inside the TV set). Let the condensation evaporate before switching the TV set on again.
The or POWER/ button on the TV set or the button on the remote control can be used to switch it on and put it into standby mode. If you are not going to be watching the TV for a lengthy period of time, switch it off completely by removing the plug from the mains power socket.
During thunderstorms, we recommend that you disconnect the TV set from the mains and aerial so that it is not affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it. For this reason, keep the mains and aerial sockets accessible so they can be disconnected, if necessary.
Unplug the TV set immediately if you notice it giving off a smell of burning or smoke. You must never, under any circumstances, open the TV set yourself, as you run the risk of an electric shock in doing so.
This appliance is intended for domestic household use only and should not be used for any other application, such as for non-domestic use or in a commercial environment.
If the external flexible cable or cord of this product is damaged, it shall be replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
Leave more than 10cm clearance around the television to allow adequate ventilation. The ventilation should not be impeded by covering the ventilation openings with items, such as newspapers, table-cloths, curtains, etc.
The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.
Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.
To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
If the existing television set is going to be retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
Equipment with this symbol is a Class II or double insulated electrical appliance. It has been designed in such a way that it does not require a safety connection to electrical earth.
Equipment without this symbol is a Class I electrical appliance. It shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other open flames away from this product at all times.
This symbol indicates that high voltage is present inside. It is dangerous to make any kind of contact with any internal part of this product.
This symbol indicates that the fuse may be in the neutral, and that the mains shall be disconnected to de-energize the phase conductors.
To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.
To reduce the risk of RF exposure, the use distance of this apparatus should be at least 100cm.
If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded by a skilled person so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.
The TV screen used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impacted upon by other objects.
The TV screen is a very high technology product, giving you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few nonactive pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. This does not affect the performance of your product.
Use a glass-cleaning product to clean the screen and a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean the rest of the set.
Using strong detergents, alcohol-based and abrasive products may damage the screen.
Dust the vents at the back and sides regularly. Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based products could damage the TV set. If an object or liquid enters the appliance, unplug it immediately and have it checked by an authorized engineer. Never open the appliance yourself since this may put you at risk or damage the appliance.
This apparatus meets ESD performance criteria. In case the apparatus does not recover in Ethernet connection mode or USB playing mode due to electrostatic discharge, user intervention is required.
Bluetooth® technology (if available in your TV) uses 2.4GHz frequency thus close proximity to WiFi access points, routers or microwave ovens might interfere with Bluetooth audio streaming. If you face interruptions in audio reception, you should restart your Bluetooth device to find frequency with less interferences and if you continue to face issues you should move closer to TV or increase space between TV and source of interferences.
