yThe TV can be placed in standby mode in order to reduce the power consumption. And the TV
should be turned off if it will not be watched for some time, as this will reduce energy consumption.
yThe energy consumed during use can be significantly reduced if the level of brightness of the
picture is reduced, and this will reduce the overall running cost.
NOTE
yDo not step on the glass stand or subject it to any impact. It may break, causing possible injury
from fragments of glass, or the TV may fall.
yDo not drag the TV. The floor or the product may be damaged.
ySome models have a thin film attached on to the screen and this must not be removed.
