SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 

y

Avoid touching the screen or 

holding your finger(s) against 

it for long periods of time. 

Doing so may produce some 

temporary or permanent dis-

tortion/damage to screen.

 

y

When cleaning the product 

and its components, unplug 

the power first and wipe it 

with a soft cloth. Applying 

excessive force may cause 

scratches or discolouration. 

Do not spray with water or 

wipe with a wet cloth. Never 

use glass cleaner, car or 

industrial shiner, abrasives 

or wax, benzene, alcohol 

etc., which can damage the 

product and its panel.  

Otherwise, this may result in 

fire, electric shock or product 

damage (deformation, corro-

sion or breakage).

 

y

As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall 

outlet, it is not disconnected from the AC power 

source even if you turn off this unit by SWITCH.

 

y

When unplugging the cable, 

grab the plug and unplug it, 

by pulling at the plug. Don’t 

pull at the cord to unplug the 

power cord from the power 

board, as this could be haz-

ardous.

 

y

When moving the product, 

make sure you turn the 

power off first. Then, unplug 

the power cables, antenna 

cables and all connecting 

cables.  

The TV set or power cord 

may be damaged, which may 

create a fire hazard or cause 

electric shock.

 

y

When moving or unpacking 

the product, work in pairs be-

cause the product is heavy.  

Otherwise, this may result in 

injury.

 

y

Please follow the installation 

instructions below to prevent 

the product from overheating.

 

- The distance between 

the product and the wall 

should be more than 

10 cm.

 

- Do not install the product 

in a place with no ventila-

tion (e.g., on a bookshelf 

or in a cupboard).

 

- Do not install the product 

on a carpet or cushion.

 

- Make sure the air vent is 

not blocked by a tablecloth 

or curtain.

Otherwise, this may result in 
fire.

 

y

Take care not to touch the 

ventilation openings when 

watching the TV for long 

periods as the ventilation 

openings may become hot. 

This does not affect the 

operation or performance of 

the product.

 

y

Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, 

and if its appearance indicates damage or de-

terioration, unplug it, discontinue use of the appli-

ance, and have the cord replaced with an exact 

replacement part by an authorized servicer.

 

y

Prevent dust collecting on the 

power plug pins or outlet.  

This may cause a fire hazard.

 

y

Protect the power cord from 

physical or mechanical 

abuse, such as being twisted, 

kinked, pinched, closed in a 

door, or walked upon. Pay 

particular attention to plugs, 

wall outlets, and the point 

where the cord exits the ap-

pliance.

 

y

Do not press strongly upon 

the panel with a hand or 

sharp object such as nail, 

pencil or pen, or make a 

scratch on it, as it may 

cause damage to screen.
