IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays
The extended use of fi xed image program material can cause a permanent "shadow image" on the LCD/LED panel.
This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fi xed image. This type of irreversible LCD/LED panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
- Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
- Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.
- Turn the power off when not in actual use.
Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):
• TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos and pricing displays-especially if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause ageing of the screen.
- Time Displays
- Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for a long period of time
• TV/DVD Menus: e.g. Listings of DVD disc content
- Pause Mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. When watching DVDs or videos.
Important - Once 'shadow image/screen burn' occurs, it will never disappear and is not repairable under warranty.
How do I dispose of this product?
UK: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Separate disposal facilities exist. For your nearest facilities, please see www.recycle-more.co.uk or in store for details.
ROI: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Separate disposal facilities exist. Check with your Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice.
Batteries
- Do not expose batteries to high temperatures, excessive heat, prolonged sunshine or fire as this may cause leakage, explosion or ignition.
- Observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries.
- Do not use different types of batteries together or mix old and new batteries.
- Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way.
- Certain regions may regulate the disposal of batteries. Please consult your local authority.

ATTACHING/DETACHING THE STAND
Attaching the stand
To complete the stand installation you will require a cross head screw driver
There are two types of screws provided as shown below.

3 x ST (4x14)
Used for attaching the stand neck to the TV (fi g.1)

3 x ST (3.7x18)
Counter Sunk
Used for attaching the stand base to the stand neck (fi g.3)

(fi g.1) Attach the stand neck to the rear of the TV set using the 3 x ST(4x14) screws provided.

(fi g.2) Peel off the protective plastic cover then attach the stand base to the stand neck.

When securing the self-tapping screw/s into the base of the stand (on first installation) the screw/s will be naturally tight as they create a thread in the plastic of the stand neck in order to support a TV of this size.
a) Ensure the cross head screw driver tip fi ts correctly into the head of the screw and that it is not too big or small.
b) Screw in all screws individually and partially before tightening all of the screws fully.
c) If they become very tight try loosening them slightly and then re-tightening them once again as this will continue the process of creating the thread for the screws.
(fi g.3) Secure the base to the neck by using the 3 x ST(3.7x18) screws provided.
Detaching the stand
Remove the screws highlighted then remove the stand base and neck from the rear of the TV set.

Securing the TV to a Wall
For maximum security in the home when using a TV with its stand anti-tip straps should be fitted. These are available from supermarket websites and other websites and are an easy, inexpensive and effective way of ensuring your TV stays safely upright. Straps are designed to be attached to the rear of the TV and then tethered to the wall or the furniture the TV is stood on.
Note - Please ensure that children do not climb on the TV set.
A) Using one or both of the top wall-mounting holes and screws (the screws are already supplied in the wall mounting holes) fasten one end of the fastening cord/s to the TV.
B) Secure the other end of the fastening cord/s to your wall. (you will need screws/fi xings suitable for your wall type - available separately from most DIY stores).


natural_image
Diagram of a vertical computer monitor with a stand, showing front and side views (no text or symbols)The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is urging people to take care with flat-screen televisions.
RoSPA stated in 2010 that "Toddlers are particularly at risk of pulling fl at-screen televisions on to themselves. They are unsteady on their feet and are attracted by colourful television images."
The risk is increased as televisions become lighter.
Wall Mounting
IMPORTANT - Before drilling any holes in the wall ensure you are not drilling where there could be any electrical wires, water or gas pipes.

natural_image
Line drawing of a computer monitor with an oval screen and four diamond-shaped buttons on the screen (no text or symbols)1) Remove the four screws highlighted that are supplied in the wall mounting holes.
2) The wall mount can now be easily attached to the mounting holes on the rear of the TV.
For VESA wall mounting information please refer to the Technical Specification page.
For optimum viewing, if wall mounting the TV higher than eye level, the TV should be tilted downwards so that the TV's screen is 'face on'. See fig 1 and 2.
fig 1 fig 2 INCORRECT

Important – If wall mounting this TV, only use the screws already provided in the wall mounting holes.
Using other screws which are longer could cause irreparable damage to internal parts.
