network for transmission.

 

Do not subject the built-in wireless LAN to high 
temperatures, direct sunlight or moisture.

when using the built-in wireless LAN, keep the TV 
away from other devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 
GHz signals such as other wireless LAN devices, 
microwave ovens, and mobile phones.

 

When problems occur due to static electricity, etc., the 
TV might stop operating to protect itself. In this case, 
turn the TV off at the Mains power On/Off switch, then 
turn it back on.
