Important Safety Instructions (Cont.)

Electrical Safety and Cord Handling

  • Voltage: Before installing this TV set, make sure your outlet voltage corresponds to the voltage stated on the TV's rating label.
  • Protect from moisture: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this TV to rain or moisture; do not use it anywhere near water; do not touch the power plug with wet hands.
  • Damage: Do not use a damaged power cord, plug or loose outlet. Doing so may cause an electric shock.
  • Power outlet: Do not plug several devices into the same outlet. Doing so may cause the outlet to overheat and start a fire. Make sure the outlet is properly earthed and readily accessible during operation of the equipment.
  • Power plug: Make sure the plug is properly installed before inserting it fully into the outlet. A loose or improperly inserted power plug may cause a fire. The mains plug is used as the power disconnect device and shall remain readily accessible and operable.
  • Protect the cord: Do not bend, twist or kink the power cord excessively. Do not allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord and antenna cable. Doing so may cause a fire or an electric shock. Do not run the power cord near heat-producing appliances such as radiators, stoves or irons. The excessive heat could melt the insulation and expose live wires, resulting in fire or electric shock.
  • Disconnect: Always grasp the plug when disconnecting the power cord. Pulling the cord can damage the internal wire and may cause a fire.
  • Disconnect device: Where the mains plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
  • Lightning storms: Unplug the power cord and antenna cord during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time. Not doing so may result in fire or electric shock. Before thunder and lightning storm events arrive, unplug to minimise the risk of damage to your TV.

Important Safety Instructions (Cont.)

Installation

  • Follow instructions: Only install this TV set in accordance with these instructions.
  • Location: This TV is designed for indoor, fixed location use only. It must not be used in portable or mobile applications as vibration or excessive forces may damage the unit.

- When deciding on where to put the TV set, make sure the place is:

• Well ventilated, and away from damp and cold.
- Protected from overheating and away from direct sunlight. (Total darkness or a reflection on the picture screen can cause eyestrain. Soft and indirect lighting is recommended for comfortable viewing.)
- Away from moisture drips or splashes.
- Protected from excessive dust or grease.

- This TV is equipped with standard wall-mounting points, and we recommend that a wall bracket should be installed between the TV and the wall to prevent the TV from falling from a cabinet. (The bracket is not included.)

- If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to falling and causing injury, particularly to children. To prevent injuries from your television falling, take a few simple precautions:

  • Do not place the TV on tall furniture (e.g., on a cupboard or bookcase) without anchoring both the furniture and the TV to a suitable support.
  • Only use furniture that can safely support the television.

Important Notes

When using the USB/Media function, remember the following important points:

  • We strongly recommend you back up all data in the USB storage device to another storage device so you do not risk losing any data in case of an unexpected device failure or accident. We do not assume liability for any loss of data due to misuse or malfunction. Data backup is your personal responsibility.
  • You cannot change to a channel from another broadcaster or select another function while in recording mode.
  • If the signal is interrupted or removed while in recording mode, the recording will stop until the signal is established. This may cause you to lose program content.
  • Do not turn the TV off during timeshift recording, otherwise the TV will exit the time-shift function and turn to standby mode.
  • The file recorded can only be used in this TV. Do not copy it to any other device.
  • When you are in time-shift recording mode, you may experience some difficulty with a scheduled recording at different times without removing the USB recording device. You will need to remove the USB device as it is required to reset after each recording to protect the device from damage. If you see the message ‘DISK NOT READY’ displayed, remove the device, reconnect and proceed with your recording.
  • Some USB storage devices may not be compatible for smooth operation with this TV.
  • For large file sizes and large capacity storage devices, the loading speed may be longer. The recognition speed of a USB storage device may vary depending on the device.
  • When connecting or disconnecting the USB storage device, ensure the TV is not in USB mode, otherwise the USB device or the files stored in it may be damaged.
  • Only use a USB storage device formatted in a FAT32 file system provided with the Windows operating system. If it is formatted by a different utility program that is not supported by Windows, it may not be recognised.
  • Ensure any USB devices connected to the TV do not use/exceed 500mA power rating.
  • If an “Unsupported File” message is displayed, the file format or codec is unsupported or corrupted.

Disc Handling and Maintenance Tips

  • Hold the disc by the edges so the surface will not be soiled with fingerprints. Fingerprints, dirt and scratches can cause skipping and distortion.
  • Do not write on the label side with a ball-point pen or other writing utensils.
  • Do not use record cleaning sprays, benzene, thinner or static electricity prevention liquids.
  • Be careful not to drop or bend the disc.
  • Do not insert more than one disc in the disc compartment.
  • Do not try to close the disc cover when the disc is not inserted properly.
  • Be sure to store the disc in its exclusive case when not in use.
  • DO NOT store discs in humid or dusty areas, or where they are exposed to direct sunlight or sources of heat (such as a heating appliance).

Cleaning Dirty Discs

  • If a disc is dirty, wipe the surface gently with a soft cloth, dampened with a little water (no other liquids).
  • When wiping discs, always move the cloth from the centre hole towards the outside, which will not cause distortion. (If you wipe the disc using a circular motion, circular scratches are likely to occur, which will cause distortion.)
  • If the disc is brought from a cold to a warm environment, moisture may form on the disc. Wipe this moisture off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth before using the disc.
