Warning
● Using other wall-hanging brackets, or installing a wall-hanging bracket by yourself carries the risk
of personal injury and product damage. In order to maintain the unit’s performance and safety, be
absolutely sure to ask your dealer or a licenced contractor to secure the wall-hanging brackets. Any
damage caused by installing without a qualified installer will void your warranty.
● Do not mount the unit directly below ceiling lights (such as spotlights, floodlights or halogen lights)
which typically give off high heat. Doing so may warp or damage plastic cabinet parts.
● Take care when fixing wall brackets to the wall. Always ensure that there are no electrical cables or
pipes in the wall before hanging bracket.
● To prevent fall and injury, remove the TV from its fixed wall position when it is no longer in use.

Maintenance
First, remove the mains plug from the socket outlet.
V. Display panel, Cabinet, Pedestal
For regular care:
Gently wipe the surface of the display panel, cabinet, or pedestal by using a soft cloth to clean the dirt
or fingerprints.
For stubborn dirt:
Dampen a soft cloth with clean water or diluted neutral detergent (1 part detergent to 100 parts water).
Then wring the cloth and wipe the surface. Finally, wipe away all the moisture.
Caution
● Do not use a hard cloth or rub the surface too hard. This may cause scratches on the surface.
● Take care not to subject the TV’s surfaces to water or detergent. A liquid inside the TV could lead to
product failure.
● Take care not to subject the surfaces to insect repellent, solvent, thinner, or other volatile substances.
This may degrade surface quality or cause peeling of the paint.
● The surface of the display panel is specially treated and may be easily damaged. Take care not to
tap or scratch the surface with your fingernail or other hard objects.
● Do not allow the cabinet and pedestal to make contact with a rubber or PVC substance for a long
time. This may degrade surface quality.
Mains plug
Wipe the mains plug with a dry cloth at regular intervals. Moisture and dust may lead to fire or
electrical shock.
