• Using a chemical cloth (wet/dry sheet type cloth, etc.) may deform the components of the main unit cabinet or cause cracking.
• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the cabinet.
• If the cabinet is very dirty, wipe with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.) soaked in neutral detergent diluted with water and thoroughly wrung out, and then wipe with a soft dry cloth.
• The cabinet is primarily made of plastic. Avoid using benzene, thinner, and other solvents, as these may deform the cabinet and cause the paint to peel off.
• Do not apply insecticides or other volatile liquids.

Also, do not allow the cabinet to remain in contact with rubber or vinyl products for a long period of time. Plasticizers inside the plastic may cause the cabinet to deform and cause the paint to peel off.

Caring for the Liquid Crystal panel

• Turn off the main power and unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet before handling.
• Gently wipe the surface of the display panel with a soft cloth (cotton, flannel, etc.).

To protect the display panel, do not use a dirty cloth, liquid cleaners, or a chemical cloth (wet/ dry sheet type cloth, etc.). This may damage the surface of the display panel.

• Wiping with a hard cloth or using strong force may scratch the surface of the display panel.
• Use a soft damp cloth to gently wipe the display panel when it is really dirty. (It may scratch the surface of the display panel when wiped strongly.)
• If the display panel is dusty, use an anti-static brush, which is commercially available, to clean it.

G: General: Considered acceptable for all age groups. Appropriate viewing for the entire family, contains very little violence, physical, verbal or emotional.
PG: Parental Guidance: Intended for a general audience, but may not be suitable for younger children (under the age of 8) because it could contain controversial themes or issues.
