Important Installation Notices
Install the TV on a stable surface
If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially hazardous due to
falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:
•
Using cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television.
•
Only using furniture that can safely support the television.
•
Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
•
Not placing the television on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
both the furniture and the television to a suitable support.
•
Not standing the television on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting furniture.
•
Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
When cleaning the TV, remove the mains plug
•
Cleaning an energised TV may cause electrical shock.
When the TV is not going to be used for a long period of time, remove the mains plug
•
This TV will still consume some power even in the Off mode, as long as the mains plug is still
connected to a live socket outlet.
Transport only in upright position
•
Transporting the TV with its display panel facing upward or downward may cause damage to the
internal circuitry.

Notes
Do not display a still picture
for a long time
This causes the image to remain on the plasma
screen (“image retention”). This is not considered
a malfunction and is not covered by the warranty.
Typical still images
•
Programme number and other logos
•
Image displayed in 4:3 mode
•
Video game
•
Computer image
To prevent image retention, contrast is lowered
automatically after a few minutes if no signals are
sent or no operations are performed. (p. 95)
Auto power standby function

The TV will automatically go into Standby mode
in the following conditions:
• no signal is received and no operation is
performed for 30 minutes in Analogue TV mode
