of experience and / or knowledge use electrical devices
unsupervised.
• To avoid danger of suffocation, keep plastic bags out of
reach of babies, children and domestic animals.
• Carefully attach the stand to the TV. If the stand is
provided with screws, tighten the screws firmly to
prevent the TV from tilting. Do not over tighten the
screws and mount the stand rubbers properly.
Damage
• Please inspect the unit for damage after unpacking.
• Do not continue to operate the unit if you are in any
doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged
in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and
consult your dealer.
Location of Unit
• The unit must be placed on a flat stable surface and
should not be subjected to vibrations.
• Do not place the unit on sloped or unstable surfaces
as the unit may fall off or tip over causing serious
personal injury or death.
• The mains socket must be located near the unit and
should be easily accessible.
• This unit is designed for indoor, domestic use only.
• Use this TV set at an altitude of less than 2000 meters
above sea level, in dry locations and in regions with
moderate or tropical climates.
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 set.
• Only use furniture that can safely support the
television set.
• Ensuring the television set is not overhanging the edge
of the supporting furniture.
• Not placing the television set on tall furniture (for
example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring
both furniture and the television set to a suitable
support.
• Not standing the television set 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 set or its controls.
If your existing television set is being retained and
relocated, the same considerations as above should be
applied.
Wall Mounting
• Read the TV and wall mount instructions before
mounting your TV on the wall.
• For TVs over 40" in size, wall mounting requires 2
people to lift and position the TV on to the wall mount.
• The wall mount bracket is not supplied, they can be
purchased from your dealer.
• Do not install the TV on a ceiling or an inclined wall.
• Only use the screws supplied with the wall mount
bracket when attaching the TV to the bracket. See your
TV instructions for screw type.
• Tighten the wall mount screw firmly to prevent the TV
from falling. Do not over tighten the screws.
• If you are in any doubt how to mount your TV, contact
a professional.
Temperature
• Avoid extreme degrees of temperature, either hot or
cold. Place the unit well away from heat sources such
as radiators or gas / electric fires.
• Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and other sources of
heat.
Naked Flames
• Never place any type of candle or naked flame on the
top of or near the unit.
Moisture
• To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product
damage, do not expose this unit to rain, moisture,
dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, should be placed on the unit.
• If you spill any liquid into the unit, it can cause serious
damage. Switch it off at the mains immediately.
Withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
Ventilation
• To prevent the risk of electric shock or fire hazard
due to overheating, ensure that curtains and other
materials do not obstruct the ventilation vents.
• Do not install or place this unit in a bookcase, built-in
cabinet or in another confined space. Ensure the unit is
well ventilated.
• Make sure that there is a gap of at least 10 cm on both
sides and a gap of 20 cm at the top.

Safety Warnings
Mains Cable
• Make sure the unit or unit stand is not resting on top of
the mains cable, as the weight of the unit may damage
the mains cable and create a safety hazard.
• A damaged power cord/plug can cause fire or give
you an electric shock. Handle the power cord by the
plug, do not unplug the TV by pulling the power cord.
Never touch the power cord/plug with wet hands
as this could cause a short circuit or electric shock.
Never make a knot in the power cord or tie it with
other cords. If the mains cable is damaged it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Interference
• Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may
cause electromagnetic interference. If you do, it may
adversely affect the operating performance of the unit,
and cause a distorted picture or sound.
Optimum viewing
• View the unit in moderate light to prevent eye strain. It
is recommended to watch the unit from a distance
3-7 times that of the screen height.
LCD screen
• The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision
technology. However, some tiny black points and /
or bright points (red, blue or green in colour) may
constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points
are generated in the manufacturing process and are
normal.
Screen Burn
• A characteristic of Plasma and TV Panels is that
displaying the same image for a long time may cause
a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. This
is called screen burn. Most pictures shown on the unit
will be constantly moving and fill the screen.
• Examples of images that you need to watch out for are
as follows (this is not an all-inclusive list):
1. Black Bars: If black bars appear at the left / right or
top / bottom of the screen, it is recommended to
change the format so that the picture fills the entire
screen.
2. TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos
and pricing displays - especially if they are bright
and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are
less likely to cause ageing of the screen.
3. Time Displays
4. Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long
periods of time.
5. TV Menus
6. Pause Mode: Do not leave the screen in pause
mode for long periods of time, e.g. when watching
videos.
• To prevent screen burn if viewing any of the above for
long periods of time, reduce contrast and brightness
when viewing. Once burn-in occurs it will never
disappear completely.
