Safety
• Always disconnect the unit from the mains supply before
connecting / disconnecting other devices or moving the unit.
• Unplug the unit from the mains socket during a lightning
storm.
Mains Cable
• Make sure the unit or unit stand is not resting on top of the
mains cable, as the weight of the unit may damage the mains
cable and create a safety hazard.
• If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons
in order to avoid a hazard.
Interference
• Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may cause
electromagnetic interference. If you do, it may adversely affect
the operating performance of the unit, and cause a distorted
picture or sound.
Optimum Viewing
• View the unit in moderate light to prevent eye strain. It is
recommended to watch the unit from a distance
3-7 times that of the screen height.
LCD Screen
• The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision
technology. However, some tiny black points and / or
bright points (red, blue or green in colour) may constantly
appear on the LCD screen. These points are generated in the
manufacturing process and are normal.
Screen Burn
• A characteristic of Plasma and TV Panels is that displaying the
same image for a long time may cause a permanent after-
image to remain on the screen. This is called screen burn.
Most pictures shown on the unit will be constantly moving
and fill the screen.
• Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as
follows (this is not an all-inclusive list):
1. Black Bars: If black bars appear at the left / right or top /
bottom of the screen, it is recommended to change the
format so that the picture fills the entire screen.
2. 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.
3. Time Displays
4. Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long periods
of time.
5. TV Menus
6. Pause Mode: Do not leave the screen in pause mode for
long periods of time, e.g. when watching videos.
• To prevent screen burn if viewing any of the above for long
periods of time, reduce contrast and brightness when viewing.
Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.
