Precautions  
Viewing the TV  
This symbol is on the remote control.  
View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor  
light or during long period of time, strains your eyes.  
When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid  
excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.  
LCD Screen  
Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision  
technology and 99.99% or more of the pixels are effective,  
black dots may appear or bright points of light (red, blue,  
or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This  
is a structural property of the LCD screen and is not a  
malfunction.  
Do not push or scratch the front filter, or place objects on  
top of this TV set. The image may be uneven or the LCD  
screen may be damaged.  
If this TV set is used in a cold place, a smear may occur in  
the picture or the picture may become dark. This does not  
indicate a failure. These phenomena disappear as the  
temperature rises.  
Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed  
continuously. It may disappear after a few moments.  
The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in  
use. This is not a malfunction.  
The LCD screen contains a small amount of liquid crystal  
and mercury. The fluorescent tubes used in this TV set  
also contain mercury. Follow your local ordinances and  
regulations for disposal.  
Handling and cleaning the screen surface/cabinet of  
the TV set  
Be sure to unplug the AC power cord connected to the TV set  
from AC power outlet before cleaning.  
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,  
observe the following precautions.  
To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe  
gently with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a  
soft cloth slightly moistened with a diluted mild detergent  
solution.  
Never use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline/acid cleaner,  
scouring powder, or volatile solvent, such as alcohol,  
benzene, thinner or insecticide. Using such materials or  
maintaining prolonged contact with rubber or vinyl  
materials may result in damage to the screen surface and  
cabinet material.  
When adjusting the angle of the TV set, move it slowly so  
as to prevent the TV set from moving or slipping off from  
its table stand.  
Optional Equipment  
Keep optional components or any equipment emitting  
electromagnetic radiation away from the TV set. Otherwise  
picture distortion and/or noisy sound may occur.
