This product is designed and intended for consumers

and personal use in a domestic home environment,

unless agreed otherwise with the manufacturer in

writing. Failure to follow this recommendation or the

instructions provided in the product user manual and the

product supportive documentation can cause damage to

the product and will void the warranty for such cases.

A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury

or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be

avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging

the edge of the supporting furniture.

• ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting methods

recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.

• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the

television set.

• ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of

climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its

controls.

• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your

television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or

grabbed.

• NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.

• NEVER 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.

• NEVER place the television set on cloth or other

materials that may be located between the television set

and supporting furniture.

• NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb,

such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the

television or furniture on which the television is placed.

If the existing television set is going to be retained and

relocated, the same considerations as above should be

applied.

• Do not ingest the battery. Chemical burn hazard.

• The remote control may contain a coin/button cell

battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it

can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can

lead to death.

• Keep new and used batteries away from children.

• If the battery compartment does not close securely,

stop using the product and keep it away from children.

• If you think batteries might have been swallowed or

placed inside any part of the body, seek immediate

medical attention.

• Risk of �re or explosion if the battery is replaced by an

23.1. Safety

incorrect type.

• Replacement of a battery with an incorrect type that

can defeat a safeguard (for example, in the case of some

lithium battery types).

• Disposal of a battery into �re or a hot oven, or

mechanically crushing or cutting of a battery, that can

result in an explosion.

• Leaving a battery in an extremely high temperature

surrounding environment that can result in an explosion

or the leakage of �ammable liquid or gas.

• A battery subjected to extremely low air pressure that

may result in an explosion or the leakage of �ammable

liquid or gas.

Never install the TV in a con�ned space. Always leave a

space of at least 20 cm or 8 inches around the TV for

ventilation. Ensure curtains or other objects never cover

the ventilation slots on the TV.

Disconnect the TV from the power outlet and antenna

before lightning storms.

During lightning storms, never touch any part of the TV,

power cord or antenna cable.

Avoid using earphones or headphones at high volumes

or for prolonged periods of time.

If the TV is transported in temperatures below 5°C or

41°F, unpack the TV and wait until the TV temperature

reaches room temperature before connecting the TV to

the power outlet.

In rare occasions, depending on temperature and

humidity, minor condensation can occur on the inside of

the TV glass front (on some models). To prevent this, do

not expose the TV to direct sunlight, heat or extreme

humidity. If condensation occurs, it will disappear

spontaneously while the TV is playing for a few hours.

The condensation moisture will not harm the TV or cause

malfunction.

• Never touch, push, rub or strike the screen with any

object.

• Unplug the TV before cleaning.

• Clean the TV and frame with a soft damp cloth and

wipe gently. Never use substances such as alcohol,

chemicals or household cleaners on the TV.

• To avoid deformations and colour fading, wipe oﬀ

water drops as quickly as possible.

• Avoid stationary images as much as possible. Stationary

images are images that remain onscreen for extended

periods of time. Stationary images include onscreen

menus, black bars, time displays, etc. If you must use

stationary images, reduce screen contrast and brightness

to avoid screen damage.
