BeforeStartingtheT.V
SettingupRemote
Beforewatchingthetelevsion,youmustfirstsetuptheremotecontrolbyinsertingthebatteries.
1.Pulluptheslit(whichislocatedonthebackoftheremote)inthedirectionofthearrowas
shownbelowandremovethecoverusingyourthumbnail.
2.Insert2AAsizebatteries(supplied)bymatchingthe+and‐symbolswiththeonesinsidethe
remotecompartment.Closeslitbackwhenfinished.
Location
• WhenoperatingtheTV,makesuretopointtheremotestriaghtatitsIRsensor.Ensurethatno
objectsarehinderingthesignalpathbetweentheremotecontrolandtheIRsensoronyourTV.
• CarrytheTVbyplacingyourhandssomewherewhereyoucanfirmlygraspit,toavoidserious
injuryanddamage.IfTVistoolargetocarrybyyourself,considercarryingitwithsomeoneelse
tohelp.
• MakesuretheTVisplacedonasteadytableorstandtoguaranteethatitstayssafefromfalling,
causingseriousdamagetotheequipment.
• DonotplaceTVnearswimmingpools,bathroomsinksortubs,oranyotherplacesnearlotsof
water.Keepequipmentawayfromliquidsanddrinksaswell.
• AvoidsettingupTVagainstawallorotherclosedoffareastomakesureithassufficient
ventilationwithfreeairflow.
• DonotplaceTVwherethecordwillbedamagedbysomeonesteppingonit.
• Donotexposethescreentodirectsunlightoranyotherbrightlights,asitmaytamperthe
picturequality.
Power
• AsthisTVoperateson120Voltsmakesuretoinserttheplugintotheoutletcarefullytoavoid
damagingtheplugorinjuringyourself.
• UnplugtheTVfromthewalloutletwhenthesetwillnotbeusedforalongduration(For
exampleduringavacationawayfromhome).ThissavesthepowerfrombeingusedevenifTVis
OFF.
•IfunusualnoisesorlinesappearonTVscreenwhenanearbyradioisalsotransmitting,turnoff
eithertheradioortheTVsettocorrectthis.
