Maintaining
About temperature
•
Do not use the television in hot and cold
rooms (locations).

When the television is used in rooms
(locations) with low temperature, the picture
may leave trails or appear slightly delayed.
This is not a malfunction and the television
will recover when the temperature returns to
normal.
•
Do not leave the television in a hot or cold
location. Also, do not leave the television in a
location exposed to direct sunlight or near a
heater, as this may cause the cabinet to
deform and the screen to malfunction.
•
Storage temperature: 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C)
•
Working temperature: 41 to 104°F (5 to 40°C)
About After-Image
The extended use of a fixed image program can
cause a permanent after-image (also known as
burn-in) on the screen. This background image
is viewable on normal programs in the form of a
stationary fixed image. This irreversible screen
damage can be limited by doing the following:
•
Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a
minimum viewing level.
•
Do not display the fixed image for extended
periods of time.
•
Turn the power to the television off when not
in actual use.
Cleaning and Maintenance
To clean this television, 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.
•
Use eyeglass cleaner to remove stubborn dirt
from the screen.
•
Never use alcohol, paint thinner, or benzine
to clean this television.
•
Before using a chemically treated cloth, read
the instructions that came with the cloth
carefully.
Troubleshooting
If, after reading these operating instructions, you
have additional questions related to the use of
your television, call the service center.
Before calling service, check the symptoms and
follow the suggested solutions.
Caution
•
Do not allow a still picture to be displayed for an
extended period, as this can cause a
permanent after-image to remain on the
screen.
Examples of still pictures include logos, video
games, computer images, teletext, and images
displayed in 4:3 mode.
•
The permanent after-image on the screen
resulting from fixed image use is not an
operating defect and as such is not covered by
the warranty.
•
This television is not designed to display fixed
images for extended periods of time.
