General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
Installation
Follow instructions: Only install this TV set in accordance with the instructions in
this manual. If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be
potentially hazardous due to falling and can cause injury, particularly to children.
• This TV is equipped with standard wall-mounting points, and we recommend that a
wall bracket be installed between the TV and the wall to prevent the TV from falling
from a cabinet. (The bracket is not included.)
To prevent injuries from your television falling, take a few simple precautions:
• When deciding on where to put the TV, make sure the location is:
• Well ventilated, and away from damp and cold.
• Protected from overheating and away from direct sunlight.
• Away from moisture drips or splashes.
• Protected from excessive dust or grease.
• Bookcase: Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a bookcase or
similar unit.
• Heat: Do not install the TV set near heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other
audio visual equipment (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
• Water: Do not place containers with liquids (such as vases) or with small metallic
objects on top of the unit. If liquid enters the unit or any metal object falls into the
unit, it may result in short-circuit, fire or electric shock.
• Fire or explosion: Do not use or store flammable or combustible materials near the
unit. Doing so may result in fire or explosion. Do not place any naked flame sources,
such as lit candles, cigarettes or incense sticks on top of the TV set.
• Antenna: Install the antenna away from high-voltage power lines and
communication cables and make sure it is installed securely. If the antenna touches
a power line, contact with the antenna could result in fire, electric shock or serious
injury.
• Ventilation: Install the unit at an adequate distance from the wall to ensure sufficient
ventilation. If the temperature inside the unit rises, it may result in fire.
Electrical Safety and Cord Handling
• Voltage: Before installing this TV set, make sure your outlet voltage corresponds to
the voltage stated on the appliance rating label.
• Protect from moisture: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose
this appliance to rain or moisture; do not use it anywhere near water; do not touch
the power plug with wet hands.
• Damage: Do not use a damaged power cord, plug or loose outlet. Doing so may
cause an electric shock.
• Power outlet: Do not plug several devices into the same outlet. Doing so may
cause the outlet to overheat and start a fire. Make sure the outlet is readily
accessible during operation of the equipment.

11
General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
• Power plug: Make sure the plug is properly installed before inserting it fully into the
outlet. A loose or improperly inserted power plug may cause a fire.
• Protect the cord: Do not bend, twist or kink the power cord excessively. Do not
allow anything to rest on or roll over the power cord and antenna cable. Doing
so may cause a fire or an electric shock. Do not run the power cord near heat-
producing appliances such as radiators, stoves or irons. The excessive heat could
melt the insulation and expose live wires, resulting in fire or electric shock.
• Disconnect: Always grasp the plug when disconnecting the power cord. Pulling the
cord can damage the internal wire and may cause a fire.
• Lightning storms: Unplug this TV during lightning storms or when unused for long
periods of time. Not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
Usage Conditions and Restrictions
• Adjustments: Follow the instructions in this manual when installing and adjusting
the TV set. Only adjust those controls that are covered in this manual, as improper
adjustment of other controls may result in damage. If this happens, unplug the TV
set and have it serviced by appropriately qualified personnel, or phone the after
sales support line for advice.
• Ventilation: Do not cover the ventilation openings with items such as newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains etc. as this could impede ventilation.
• Cabinet slots: Do not insert objects of any kind into this unit through the cabinet
slots, as they could touch the current-carrying parts or short-circuit parts, resulting
in fire, electric shock or damage to the unit.
• Smoke or odour: If you notice any unusual odours or smoke around the unit,
immediately disconnect the unit from the outlet and contact the service centre.
Failure to do so may result in fire or electric shock.
• When not in use: When not using the unit for long periods of time, disconnect the
power cord from the wall outlet. Dust could accumulate over time on the unit and
cause it to generate heat and ignite, or deteriorate insulation, which in turn may
result in an electrical fire.
• Moving: When moving the unit, be sure to turn it off and unplug it from the wall
outlet. Moving the unit with the power cord connected to the outlet may cause
damage to the cord, resulting in fire or electric shock.
• Batteries: When removing the batteries from the remote control, make sure to keep
them out of reach of infants and children. Seek medical attention immediately if a
child has swallowed a battery.
WARNING!
Batteries must not be exposed to excessive heat such as direct sunlight,
fire or other souces of heating.

12
General Safety Instructions (Cont.)
• Usage restriction: This product is not intended for use by persons (including
children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience
and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instructions concerning
use of the product by a person responsible for their safety.
• Children: Supervise young children to ensure they do not play with the TV.
Cleaning and Maintenance
• Unplug: To reduce the risk of fire and electric shock, always unplug the TV before
cleaning.
• Cleaning: Only use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning the TV; do not use a damp cloth.
Never clean with industrial strength polish, wax, benzene, paint thinner, air freshener,
lubricant, detergent or other chemicals. Wipe off any moisture, dirt or dust on the
power plug pins with a clean, dry cloth.
• Repair: If the unit requires repair, contact the after sales support line; never
disassemble or modify the unit or attempt to service it yourself.
• Service: Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when
the TV has been damaged in any way, such as when the power supply cord or plug
is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the TV, when the
TV has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been
dropped.

IMPORTANT!
Read all instructions before connecting the TV to other equipment.
Connecting an External Antenna
For the best picture quality, we recommend connecting the TV set to an
external antenna.
NOTE: At this stage, TV programming in Australia is not available in Ultra HD.
Therefore, the result of upscaling and displaying HD broadcast signals on an Ultra
HD TV can be 'soft' images, which don’t have the detail or smoothness you see when
watching the same content on an HD TV.
