furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
- Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and
supporting furniture.
- Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
• This equipment is a Class II or double insulated electrical appliance. It has been designed in
such a way that it does not require a safety connection to electrical earth.

Network Setting Warnings
Use standard LAN cable (connect to Cat7 or higher with RJ45 connector, 10 Base-T, or 100 Base TX
LAN port).
Resetting the modem may fix some network connection problems. Turn the power OFF, disconnect and
reconnect it, and then turn the power on to solve the problem.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any network connection problems or any faults, malfunctions, or
errors caused by network connection.
The network connection may not work properly because of network settings or the Internet service
provider.
DSL service must use a DSL modem; and cable service must use a cable modem. Since only a limited
number of network connections may be available, TV network setting may not be used depending on the
contract with Internet service provider. (If the contract does not allow more than one device per line, only
the already-connected PC may be used.)
A wireless network can experience interference from other devices that use the 2.4 GHz frequency
(wireless phone, Bluetooth device, or microwave oven). Although interference can also happen when
using the 5 GHz frequency, it is less likely to occur.
The wireless environment can make wireless network service run slowly.
Failure to turn off all local home networks may cause excessive traffic on some devices.
The access point device must support wireless connections and wireless connection feature must be
enabled on the device to have AP (access point) connection. Contact the service provider for availability
of wireless connections on the access point.
Check SSID and security settings of the AP. Refer to the appropriate documentation for SSID and
security settings of the AP.
Invalid settings of network devices (wired/wireless line sharer, hub) can cause the TV to operate slowly or
not operate properly. Install the devices correctly according to the appropriate manual and network.
