Two people are required to lift and carry a • TV that weighs more than 25 kilos (55lb). Improper handling of the TV can result in serious injury.
If transporting the TV in low temperatures • (less than 5°C), open the box and wait until the TV matches the ambient temperature of the room before unpacking.
To avoid short circuit, do not expose the • TV, remote control or remote control batteries to rain or water.
Do not place vessels of water or other • liquids on top of or near the TV. Spilling liquids on the TV can cause electric shock. If liquids are spilt on the TV, do not operate the TV. Immediately disconnect the TV from the mains and have the TV checked by a qualified technician.
Do not insert any strange object into the ventilation slots. This might lead to damage of the TV.
If the TV is mounted on a swivel base or • swivel arm, ensure no strain is placed on the power cord when the TV is swivelled. Strain on the power cord can loosen connections and cause arcing or fire.
To avoid risk of fire or electric shock, do not place the TV, remote control or remote control batteries near naked flame sources (e.g. lighted candles) and other heat sources including direct sunlight.
Do not install the TV in a confined space • such as a bookcase. Leave a space of at least 10cm (four inches) around the TV for ventilation. Be sure air flow is not obstructed.
If placing the TV on a flat, solid surface be sure to use only the supplied stand. Do not move the TV if the stand is not properly screwed to the TV.
- Wall mounting of the TV should only be performed by qualified personnel. The TV must only be mounted on an appropriate wall bracket and on a wall that can safely hold the weight of the TV. Improper wall mounting can result in severe injury or damage. Do not attempt to wall mount the TV yourself.
If the TV is mounted on a swivel base or • swivel arm, ensure no strain is placed on the power cord when the TV is swivelled. Strain on the power cord can loosen connections and cause arcing or fire.
- Disconnect the TV from the mains and antenna before lightning storms. During lightning storms do not touch any part of the TV, mains cord or antenna cable.
Be sure that you have full access to the • mains cord for easy disconnection of the TV from the mains.
When disconnecting the TV from the mains, be sure to:
Turn off the TV, then the mains power (if available).
Unplug the mains cord from the mains • socket outlet.

Unplug the mains cord from the power • connector at the back of the TV. Always pull the mains cord by the plug. Do not pull the mains cord.
Permanent hearing loss can occur if you use earphones or headphones at high volumes. Though high volume may sound normal over time, it can damage your hearing. To protect your hearing, limit the amount of time you use earphones or headphones at high volume.
1.2 Screen care
Turn off and unplug the mains cord before • cleaning the screen. Clean the screen with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use substances such as household cleaning agents as these may damage the screen.

To avoid deformations or colour fading, • wipe off water droplets as soon as possible.
Do not touch, push, rub or strike the • screen with hard objects as this may damage the screen permanently.
Where possible, avoid stationary images • that remain on-screen for extended periods of time. Examples include screen menus, teletext pages, black bars or stock market tickers. If you must use stationary images, reduce the screen contrast and brightness to avoid screen damage.

8. Troubleshooting
Some problems you encounter with your TV can be corrected by consulting the following list.
No picture, no sound
Check if the fuse or circuit breaker is 1. working.
- Plug another electrical device into the outlet to make sure it is working or turned on.
- Power plug is in a bad contact with the outlet.
- Check the signal source.
No colour
- Change the colour system.
- Adjust the saturation.
- Try another program. Black-white program may be received.
Remote control does not work
- Change the batteries.
- Batteries are not installed correctly.
- Main power is not connected.
No picture, normal sound
- Adjust the brightness and contrast.
- Broadcasting failure may happen.
Normal picture, no sound
- Press the VOLUME + button to increase volume.
- Volume is set to mute, press MUTE to restore sound.
- Change the sound system.
- Broadcasting failure may happen.
Ripples on the picture
Usually caused by local interference such as cars, daylight lamps and hair driers. Adjust the antenna to minimize the interference.
Blank screen in VGA(PC) mode
Perhaps the TV can not recognize the resolution set by the PC. Change to the best resolution or other standard resolutions of the PC system.
Check the connections.
Snowy dots and interference
If the antenna is located in the fringe area of a television signal where the signal is weak, the picture may be marred by dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the reception.
Adjust the position and orientation of • the indoor/outdoor antenna.
Check the connection of antenna.
Fine tune the program.
Try another program. Broadcasting • failure may happen.
Ignition
Black spots or horizontal streaks appear, or the picture flutters or drifts. This is usually caused by interference from car ignition system, neon lamps, electric drills, or other electrical appliance.
Ghost
Ghosts are caused by the television signal • following two paths. One is the direct path, the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.
Radio frequency interference
This interference produces moving ripples • or diagonal streaks, and in some case, loss of contrast in the picture. Find out and remove the radio interference source.
