SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
y
y
Periodically examine the cord of your appliance, and if its
appearance indicates damage or deterioration, unplug it,
discontinue use of the appliance, and have the cord replaced
with an exact replacement part by an authorized servicer.
y
y
Prevent dust collecting on the power
plug pins or outlet. This may cause a
fire hazard.
y
y
Protect the power cord from physical
or mechanical abuse, such as being
twisted, kinked, pinched, closed in a
door, or walked upon. Pay particular
attention to plugs, wall outlets, and
the point where the cord exits the
appliance.
y
y
Do not press strongly upon the panel
with a hand or sharp object such as
nail, pencil or pen, or make a scratch
on it.
y
y
Avoid touching the screen or
holding your finger(s) against it for
long periods of time. Doing so may
produce some temporary distortion
effects on the screen.
y
y
When cleaning the product and its
components, unplug the power first
and wipe it with a soft cloth. Applying
excessive force may cause scratches
or discolouration. Do not spray with
water or wipe with a wet cloth. Never
use glass cleaner, car or industrial
shiner, abrasives or wax, benzene,
alcohol etc., which can damage the
product and its panel. Otherwise,
this may result in fire, electric shock
or product damage (deformation,
corrosion or breakage).
y
y
As long as this unit is connected to the AC wall outlet, it is
not disconnected from the AC power source even if you turn
off this unit by SWITCH.
y
y
When unplugging the cable, grab the
plug and unplug it. If the wires inside
the power cable are disconnected,
this may cause fire.
y
y
When moving the product, make sure
you turn the power off first. Then,
unplug the power cables, antenna
cables and all connecting cables.
The TV set or power cord may be
damaged, which may create a fire
hazard or cause electric shock.
y
y
When moving or unpacking the
product, work in pairs because the
product is heavy. Otherwise, this may
result in injury.
y
y
Contact the service center once a
year to clean the internal parts of the
product. Accumulated dust can cause
mechanical failure.
y
y
Refer all servicing to qualified service
personnel. Servicing is required when
the apparatus has been damaged in
any way, such as power supply cord
or plug is damaged, liquid has been
spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been
exposed to rain or moisture, does
not operate normally, or has been
dropped.
y
y
If the product feels cold to the touch,
there may be a small “flicker” when
it is turned on. This is normal, there is
nothing wrong with product.
y
y
The panel is a high technology display
product with resolution of two million
to six million pixels. You may see tiny
black dots and/or brightly coloured
dots (red, blue or green) at a size of
1 ppm on the panel. This does not
indicate a malfunction and does not
affect the performance and reliability
of the product. This phenomenon also
occurs in third-party products and is
not subject to exchange or refund.
y
y
You may find different brightness and
colour of the panel depending on your
viewing position(left/right/top/down).
This phenomenon occurs due to the
characteristic of the panel. It is not
related with the product performance,
and it is not malfunction.
y
y
Displaying a still image (e.g., broadcasting channel logo, on-
screen menu, scene from a video game) for a prolonged
time may cause damage to the screen, resulting in retention
of the image, which is known as image sticking. The
warranty does not cover the product for image sticking.
Avoid displaying a fixed image on your television’s screen
for a prolonged period (2 or more hours for LCD, 1 or more
hours for Plasma). Also, if you watch the TV at a ratio of 4:3
for a long time, image sticking may occur on the borders
of the panel. This phenomenon also occurs in third-party
products and is not subject to exchange or refund.
y
y
Generated Sound
“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs when
watching or turning off the TV is generated by plastic
thermal contraction due to tempera-ture and humidity. This
noise is common for products where thermal deformation
is required. Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A
low level noise is generated from a high-speed switching
circuit, which supplies a large amount of current to operate a
product. It varies depending on the product. This generated
sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the
product.
