Screen Care
Clean
• Never touch, push, rub or strike the screen
with any object.
• Unplug the TV before cleaning.
• Clean the TV and frame with a soft damp
cloth and wipe gently. Never use substances
such as alcohol, chemicals, or household
cleaners on the TV.
• To avoid deformations and color fading,
wipe off water drops as quickly as possible.
• Avoid stationary images as much as possible.
Stationary images are images that remain
on screen for extended periods of time.
Stationary images include on screen menus,
black bars, time displays, etc. If you must use
stationary images, reduce screen contrast
and brightness to avoid screen damage.
Note
Static images may cause permanent damage to
the TV screen.
• Do not display static images on LCD TV
screens for longer than 2 hours, as this
can cause ghosting onscreen. To prevent
ghosting, reduce the brightness and contrast
of the screen when displaying static images.
• Watching programmes in 4:3 format for
extended periods may leave different marks
on the left and right of the screen and the
border of the image. Therefore, avoid using
this mode for prolonged periods.
• Displaying static images from video games
and computers for extended periods may
cause an afterimage and ghosting due to
screen burn. Reduce the screen brightness
and contrast accordingly when using the TV
in this way.
Any afterimages, ghosting or marks displayed
on the TV screen due to the causes mentioned
above are not covered by the warranty.
• NEVER place the television on cloth or other
materials that may be located between the
television and supporting furniture.
• NEVER place items that might tempt children
to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on
the top of the television or furniture on which
the television is placed.
If the existing television is going to be retained
and relocated, the same considerations as above
should be applied.
Risk of swallowing batteries
The remote control may contain coin-type
batteries which can easily be swallowed by small
children. Keep these batteries out of reach of
children at all times.
Risk of overheating
Never install the TV in a confined space. Always
leave a space of at least 10 cm or 4 inches around
the TV for ventilation. Ensure curtains or other
objects never cover the ventilation slots on the TV.
Lightning storms
Disconnect the TV from the power outlet and
antenna before lightning storms.
During lightning storms, never touch any part of the
TV, power cord or antenna cable.
Risk of hearing damage
Avoid using earphones or headphones at high
volumes or for prolonged periods of time.
Low temperatures
If the TV is transported in temperatures below
5°C or 41°F, unpack the TV and wait until the TV
temperature reaches room temperature before
connecting the TV to the power outlet.
Humidity
In rare occasions, depending on temperature and
humidity, minor condensation can occur on the
inside of the TV glass front (on some models).
To prevent this, do not expose the TV to direct
sunlight, heat or extreme humidity. If condensation
occurs, it will disappear spontaneously while the TV
is playing for a few hours.
The condensation moisture will not harm the TV or
cause malfunction.
