Safety warnings
Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket
or hang the TV to the wall before all
connections are made.
• Place or hang the TV wherever you want, but
make sure that air can circulate freely through the
ventilation slots.
• Do not install the TV in a confined space such as
a book case or a similar unit.
• To prevent any unsafe situations, no naked flame
sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed
in the vicinity.
• Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain
or water.
• The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping
or splashing.
Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen
with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or
damage the screen permanently.
And please do not rub with dust clothes with
chemical treatment.
Do not touch the surface with bare hands or
greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to
the screen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the
screen.
When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe
gently with absorbent cotton or other soft
materials like chamois soaks. Do not use acetone,
toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical
damage. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol
cleaners.Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as
possible.Their long time contact with the screen
causes deformations and colour fading.
A characteristic of LCD and Plasma Panels is that
displaying the same image for a long time can cause
a permanent after-image to remain on the screen.
This is called phosphor burn in. Normal use of the
TV should involve the showing of pictures that
contain constantly moving and changing images that
fill the screen.
Examples of stationary images (this is not an all-
inclusive list, you may encounter others in your
viewing):
• TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD disk content;
• Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and
right side of the screen, it is recommended to
change to a picture format so that the picture fills
the entire screen;
• TV channel logo: present a problem if they are
bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast
graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of
the screen;
• Stock market stickers: presented at the bottom of
the TV screen;
• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays: bright
and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same
location on the TV screen.
Examples of still pictures also include logos,
computer images, time display, teletext and images
displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or characters,
etc.
