When not in use

should be disconnected from the AC power (mains) for
environmental and safety reasons.

power outlet (mains socket) to disconnect the TV set
completely.

• Some TV sets may have features that require the TV set to be

left in standby to work correctly.

About TV Temperature

When the TV is used for an extended period, the panel surrounds
become warm. You may feel hot when touching there by the
hand.

Viewing the TV

• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor light or

during long period of time, strains your eyes.

• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid

excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

OLED Screen

• Although the OLED screen is made with high-precision

technology and 99.99 % or more of the pixels are effective,
black dots may appear or bright points of light (white, red, blue,
or green) may appear constantly on the OLED screen. This is a
structural property of the OLED screen and is not a malfunction.

• Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on top of

this TV set. The image may be uneven or the OLED screen may
be damaged.

• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in use. This

is not a malfunction.

• When disposing of your TV be sure to follow your local laws and

regulations.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/
cabinet of the TV set

Be sure to unplug the AC power cord (mains lead) connected to
the TV set from AC power outlet (mains socket) before cleaning.
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,
observe the following precautions.
• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently

with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth
slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent solution.

• Never spray water or detergent directly on

the TV set. It may drip to the bottom of the
screen or exterior parts and enter the TV
set, and may cause damage to the TV set.

• Never use any type of abrasive pad,

alkaline/acid cleaner, scouring powder, or
volatile solvent, such as alcohol, benzene,
thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or maintaining
prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl materials may result in
damage to the screen surface and cabinet material.

• Do not touch the TV if your hand is covered in any chemical

substance such as hand cream or sunblock.

• Periodic vacuuming of the ventilation openings is

recommended to ensure proper ventilation.

• When adjusting the angle of the TV set, move it slowly so as to

prevent the TV set from moving or slipping off from its table
stand.

electromagnetic radiation away from the TV set. Otherwise
picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur.
