s Do not install the TV in a location where it may protrude, such as on or behind a pillar, or where you might bump your head on it. Otherwise, it may result in injury. Preventing the TV from toppling over Take measures to prevent the TV from toppling over and causing injury. To prevent the TV from toppling over, secure the TV to a wall or stand. Placement for viewing It is recommended to watch the TV at a distance of 3 - 7 times that of the screen height, and in moderate brightness. Watching the TV for too long or in a dark room may cause eye fatigue. To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling. Outdoor use Do not install this TV outdoors. If the TV is exposed to rain, it may result in a fire or an electric shock.

Bumping of the vehicle may cause the TV to fall down and cause injury. Do not install this TV in a ship or vessel. If the TV is exposed to seawater, it may cause a fire or damage the TV. Medical institutions Do not place this TV in a place where medical equipment is in use. It may cause a malfunction of medical equipment. VOLUME ADJUSTMENT s Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbors. Sound carries very easily at night. Therefore, closing the windows or using headphones is suggested. s When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid excessive levels, as hearing damage may result. LCD SCREEN s Although the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and has effective pixels of 99.99% or more, black dots or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen. This is a structural property of the LCD panel and is not a malfunction. s The LCD screen is made with high-precision technology and to achieve a high level of performance and picture quality, this TV's backlight setting is set to maximize the brightness of the TV. However, uneven brightness may be observed when the LCD TV is viewed in a dark ambient without an input source or a blank screen. This condition is normal and not a malfunction of the TV. Changing the Picture mode, Backlight setting, enabling the Light Sensor, or turning on the Power management will improve this condition. s Do not expose the LCD screen surface to direct sunlight. Doing so may damage the LCD panel. s Do not push or scratch the LCD screen, or place objects on top of the TV. The image may be uneven or the LCD panel may be damaged. s If the TV 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 improve as the temperature rises. s Ghosting may occur when still pictures are displayed continuously. It should disappear after a few moments. s The screen and cabinet get warm when the TV is in use. This is not a malfunction. s Avoid spraying insect repellent with volatile material on the screen. s Avoid prolonged contact with rubber or plastic material. Broken pieces Do not throw anything at the TV. The screen glass may break by the impact and cause serious injury. If the surface of the TV cracks, do not touch it until you have unplugged the AC power cord. Otherwise electric shock may result. Handling of broken glass and liquid crystal leakage If the LCD panel gets damaged, crystalline liquid leakage may occur, or scattered broken glass may result. Do not touch broken glass or crystalline liquid which is toxic, with bare hands as cuts, poisoning or skin irritation may occur. Also, do not let glass fragments or leaked crystalline liquid get into your eyes or mouth. Should either contact your eyes or mouth, rinse the contacted area thoroughly with water and consult your doctor.
