Troubleshooting

   For the sake of time and cost, it is strongly recommended that you check out 
the problem by yourself according to the instructions listed hereunder before 
contacting the after-sales service for technical assistance. 

Note

Production of the screen requires high and precision technologies. However, 

there might be some dark or bright (red, blue or green) spots, or some anomalistic stripes or 
spots. This is not defect. If the TV set is used in an area 2,400 meters above the sea level where 
the air pressure is below 750hpa, the picture on the screen may be affected and a muffled sound 
might be produced. These phenomena might happen in the area 1,500 meters above the sea 
level. This is resulted from difference between air pressures inside and outside the display. This 
is not a defect covered by the limited warranty.

NOTE 

Design and specifications are subject to change  without notice.
The dimension in this manual is a approximation.

Note: 

Do not leave the television with static picture in an extended period as it may 

result in residual image on your television screen.
