■ Built-in wireless LAN
Caution
●
Do not use the built-in wireless LAN to connect to any
wireless network (SSID
*
) for which you do not have
usage rights. Such networks may be listed as a result
of searches. However, using them may be regarded
as illegal access.
*
SSID is a name for identifying a particular wireless
network for transmission.
●
Do not subject the built-in wireless LAN to high
temperatures, direct sunlight or moisture.
●
Data transmitted and received over radio waves may
be intercepted and monitored.
●
The built-in wireless LAN uses 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
frequency bands. To avoid malfunctions or slow
response caused by radio wave interference when
using the built-in wireless LAN, keep the TV away
from other devices that use 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
signals such as other wireless LAN devices,
microwave ovens, and mobile phones.
●

turn the TV off at the Mains power On / Off switch,
then turn it back on.
■ Bluetooth
®
wireless technology
Caution
●
The TV uses the 2.4 GHz radio frequency ISM band
(Bluetooth
®
). To avoid malfunctions or slow response
caused by radio wave interference, keep the TV away
from the devices such as other wireless LAN devices,
other Bluetooth devices, microwaves, mobile phones
and the devices that use 2.4 GHz signal.
■ Ventilation
Caution
Allow sufficient space (at least 10 cm) around the TV in
order to help prevent excessive heat, which could lead
to early failure of some electronic components.
