Safety Precautions
Use and Maintenance
Although the LCD 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 (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen.
This is a structural property of the LCD screen and is not a malfunction.

Disconnect the power cord
from the wall outlet during an
electrical storm.
• Not doing so may result in fire
or electric shock.
When not using the unit for
long periods of time, discon-
nect the power cord from the
wall outlet.
• Dust could accumulate over
time on the unit and cause it to
generate heat and ignite, or
deteriorate insulation, which in
turn may result in an electrical
fire.
Always use two or more people
to lift or move the unit.
• If the unit is dropped, it could
be damaged or otherwise
cause injury.
Wipe off any moisture, dirt, or
dust on the power plug pins
with a clean dry cloth.
• Failure to do so may result in
fire or electric shock.
Always turn off the unit and
unplug the power cord when
cleaning the unit. Use a soft dry
cloth to clean the unit.
• Never clean with Industrial
strength polish, wax, benzene,
paint thinner, air freshener,
lubricant, detergent, or other
such chemicals. Also, do not
clean with a damp cloth.
When moving the unit, be sure
to turn off the unit and unplug
the power cord from the wall
outlet.
• Moving the unit with the
power cord connected to the
outlet may cause damage to
the cord, resulting in fire or
electric shock.
If you notice any unusual odors
or smoke around the unit,
immediately disconnect the unit
from the outlet and contact the
service center.
• Failure to do so may result in
fire or electric shock.
When removing the batteries
from the remote control, make
sure children do not swallow
them. Keep the batteries out of
the reach of infants and
children.
• If a child has swallowed a
battery, seek medical attention
immediately.
Do not insert any metal objects,
such as a screwd river, paper
clip, or bent wire into the
ventilation openings or A/V
terminals.
• Doing so poses a serious risk
of fire or electric shock.
Do not allow children to climb
or hang on the unit.
• The unit could topple over
onto a child and result in
serious injury.
Never disassemble or modify
the unit in any way. Do not
attempt to service the unit
yourself.
• Doing so may result in fire or
electric shock. If the unit
requires repair, contact the
service center.
Do not display still images and partially
still images on the LED panel for more
than 2 hours as it can cause screen
image retention. This image retention is
also known as “screen burn”. To avoid
such image retention, reduce the
degree of brightness and contrast of the
screen when displaying a still image.
Watching the LED TV in 4:3 format for a
long period of time may leave traces of
borders displayed on the left, right and
centre of the screen caused by the
difference of light emission on the
screen. Playing a DVD or a game
console may cause a similar effect to
the screen. Damages caused by the
above effect are not covered by the
Warranty. Displaying still images from
Video games and PC for longer than a
certain period of time may produce
partial after-images. To prevent this
effect, reduce the ‘brightness’ and
‘contrast’ when displaying still images.
