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.

WALL MOUNTING
IMPORTANT - Before drilling any holes in the wall ensure you are not drilling where there could be any electric wires, water or gas pipes.

1) Remove the four screws highlighted below.
2) The wall mount can now be easily attached to the mounting holes on the rear of the TV. These holes are indicated in the picture below.

USB RECORD - DIGITAL/FREEVIEW MODE
USB RECORD – DIGITAL/FREEVIEW MODE
