1. Please read these instructions
Congratulations. You have a state-of-the-art flat widescreen digital LCD
display which should provide you with years of viewing pleasure. Please take a
few minutes to read these quick start instructions through before installing
and using the display.
What’s in the Quick Start Guide?
Section 1 contains the Quick Start Guide which provides you with enough
information to setup the display. This is section 1.
What’s in the User Manual?
Section 2 contains the User Manual which details the features and functions
of the display, and provides product specifications and troubleshooting
information for your further assistance. The User Manual also describes how
to customise the display settings so that you can gain the best viewing
experience possible to suit your preferences and viewing environment.
2. Package contents
Unpack the display and check that all the following items are included:
The type of power cable supplied may differ from that illustrated, dependant upon
your region of purchase.
If any item is missing or damaged, contact your place of purchase
immediately and notify them of the discrepancy. Please keep the product
documentation in a safe place for later reference.
Dispose of packaging wisely:
• The cardboard carton can be recycled.
• Do not leave plastic bags within reach of young children or babies.
• Consider storing the packaging (if possible) for future transport of the display.
• Check that you haven't left an accessory inside the packaging, before
discarding.
For the primary safety of yourself and others, this display should be handled with
care to avoid damage to it or to persons which come into contact with it.
All LCD screens have a very thin protective layer of glass which is liable to
marking or scratching, and cracking if struck or pressured. The liquid crystal
substrate is also liable to damage under excessive force or extreme
temperatures. Please handle with care.

3. Select and prepare the installation location
In order to prevent potential dangers and prolong the service life of the
display, please observe the following points when installing, operating and
cleaning the display.
Once all considerations and precautions have been made, position the display
where most suitable.
Do NOT place the display on an uneven, sloping or unstable surface where it
may fall and cause damage to itself or others.
Do NOT place the display near water, like a spa or pool, or in a position which
will allow the splashing or spraying of water onto the display, like in front of
an open window where rain water may enter.
Do NOT place the display near or above sources of heat, such as radiators,
heaters, fuel stoves and other heat-generating items (including audio
amplifiers). Otherwise heat may cause damages to the outer casing as well as
the components inside.
Do NOT place the display in direct sun or where direct sun or spot lighting
will shine onto the display, as the heat may damage the display and the bright
light will make viewing the display more difficult than necessary.
Do NOT cover or block the vents and openings while the display is switched
on, as the heat may accumulate inside the display and result in danger.
Do NOT place the display in an enclosed place without allowing for
ventilation. If wall mounting, allow appropriate space on top for attaching the
display to the wall bracket.
If wall mounting, have a suitable qualified and experienced tradesperson
mount it safely. Ensure that the mounting bracket (optional accessory) is
securely screw fixed to the wall structure, and not just the wall render, lining
or cladding. Do not glue the bracket to the wall. Use only a recommended
display wall bracket for this model display. Ensure the bracket is level
horizontally. The dimensions of the display are detailed in "Dimensions" on
page 29.
If recessed into a wall opening, you must leave appropriate free space both top
and bottom for mounting and removing the display.
Observe all warnings and cautions as labelled on the display.
