- Humidity no more than 80% (at a temperature of 25°C)
WARNING: Never place a television set on an unstable
surface. The TV set may fall causing serious personal injury or
death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided
by taking simple precautions such as:
• Use cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer
of the television set.
• Only use furniture that can safely support the television set.
• Ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the
supporting furniture.
• Do not place the television set on tall furniture
(for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both
the furniture and the television
set to a suitable support.
• Do not place the television set on cloth or other materials
that may be located between the television set and supporting
furniture.
• For maximum safety while using your set, it is
recommended to fit anti-tip straps. These are designed to
be attached between the wall/secure surface and the VESA
mounts on the television. These are available from major
retailers and websites and are an easy and inexpensive way of
ensuring that your set stays safely upright.
• Please educate 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.

• Never try and replace the mains plug unless you have
adequate qualifications and are legally authorised to do so. In
the event that a replacement mains cable is required, contact
the manufacturer for a suitable replacement.
• Never use the television if it is damaged in any way.
• Always place the television on a flat level surface avoiding
anywhere which may be subject to
strong vibration.
• The ideal distance to watch the television is from
approximately 2.5-3 times the length of the diagonal
measurements of the TV screen away.

Important Safety Instructions
Maintenance
• To clean your TV, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces
are extremely dirty, use a soft cloth dampened with a weak
detergent solution.
• Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzene to clean this
unit.
• Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the
instructions that came with the cloth carefully.
CAUTION: If water or other liquid enters the
television through the display panel surface,
a malfunction may occur.
Packaging
• The safest way to transport your item is in the original box/
packaging - please save your packaging for this.
• You will need the original box/packaging in the event of
warranty/service repair or support. We are unable to carry
out warranty/service if you are unable to package the item
correctly.
Important information regarding use of video
games, computers, captions or other fixed image
displays
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a
permanent “shadow image” on the LCD/LED panel, also known
as “screen burn”.
This “shadow image” can appear in the background during
normal viewing. This type of irreversible LCD/LED panel
deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:
1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum
suitable viewing level.
2. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods
of time.
3. Turn the power offwhen not in use.
Examples of images that are more likely to cause “screen burn”
are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):
• 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.
• Time displays.
• Teletext: Do not view a static page for a long period of time
• TV/DVD menus: e.g. listings of DVD disc content.
• Pause mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode
for long periods of time, e.g. when watching DVDs
or videos.
Important: Once ‘shadow image/screen burn’
occurs, it will never disappear and is not
repairable under warranty.
How do I dispose of this product?
UK: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with
household waste. Please dispose of the product at a
designated collection point for recycling
of WEEE. For your nearest facilities, please see www.recycle-
more.co.uk or ask store
for details.
ROI: Waste electrical products should not be
disposed of with household waste. Separate
disposal facilities exist. Check with your local
authority or retailer for recycling advice.
Batteries
• CAUTION: Risk of explosion if the battery
is replaced with an incorrect type.
• Do not expose batteries to high
temperatures, excessive heat, prolonged
sunshine or fire as this may cause leakage,
explosion or ignition.
• Observe the correct polarity when inserting
batteries.
• Do not use different types of batteries together or
mix old and new batteries.
• Dispose of batteries in an environmentally
friendly way.
• Certain regions may regulate the disposal of batteries.

SECURING THE TV TO A WALL
For maximum safety in the home, when using a TV with its stand, anti-tip straps should be fitted. These are
available from major retailers & websites and are an easy, inexpensive and effective way of ensuring your TV
stays safely upright. Straps are designed to be attached to the rear of the TV and then tethered to the wall or
furniture the TV is stood on, these are fitted as follows.
Using one or both of the top wall-mounting
holes and screws fasten one end of the fastening
cord/s to the TV. (the screws are already supplied in
the wall mounting holes)
Secure the other end of the fastening cord/s to
your wall. (you will need screws/fixings suitable for
your wall type - available separately from most DIY
stores).
Note: Please ensure that children do not climb on the TV set.
Note: When handling the set do not grip the LCD Panel.
Note: Do not pull the set when mounted on a bracket. If using a moveable bracket, adjust via the
bracket and not the set.
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is urging people to take care with flat-screen televisions.
RoSPA stated in 2010 that “Toddlers are particularly at risk of pulling flat-screen televisions on to themselves.
They are unsteady on their feet and are attracted by colourful television images.”
The risk is increased as televisions become lighter.
IMPORTANT - Before drilling any holes in the wall ensure you are not drilling where there could be any electrical
wires, water or gas pipes.
1. Remove the four screws located at the back of the TV set.
2. The wall mount can now be easily attached to the mounting holes,
located on the back of the TV, using the same four screws removed.
Important: If wall mounting this TV, only use the screws already provided in the wall mounting holes.
Using other screws which are longer could cause irreparable damage to the internal parts. When using a
wall bracket, please ensure the screws in the back of the TV set are not over tightened.
Note: This diagram to the left is an example of screw positions. Due to
model variations, please ensure you check your TV for the exact location of
the wall mounting screw positions.
