5 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In a very few cases, you could see fine dots on
the screen while you’re viewing the TV. Those
dots are deactivated pixels and do not affect the
performance and reliability of the TV.
y Generated Sound
“Cracking” noise: A cracking noise that occurs
when watching or turning off the TV is generated
by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature
and humidity. This noise is common for products
where thermal deformation is required.
Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing: A
low level noise is generated from a high-speed
switching circuit, which supplies a large amount of
current to operate a product. It varies depending
on the product.
This generated sound does not affect the
performance and reliability of the product.
y Take care not to touch the ventilation openings.
When watching the TV for a long period, the
ventilation openings may become hot. This does
not affect the performance of the product or
cause defects in the product.
y If the TV feels cold to the touch, there may be
a small “flicker” when it is turned on. This is
normal, there is nothing wrong with TV. Some
minute dot defects may be visible on the screen,
appearing as tiny red, green, or blue spots.
However, they have no adverse effect on the
TV’s performance. Avoid touching the LCD screen
or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods
of time. Doing so may produce some temporary
distortion effects on the screen.
Preventing “Image burn” or “Burn-in” on
your TV screen
y If a fixed image displays on the TV screen for
a long period of time, it will be imprinted and
become a permanent disfigurement on the
screen. This is “image burn” or “burn-in” and not
covered by the warranty.
y If the aspect ratio of the TV is set to 4:3 for a
long period of time, image burn may occur on the
letterboxed area of the screen.
y Avoid displaying a fixed image on the TV screen
for a long period of time (2 or more hours for LCD,
1 or more hours for the Plasma TV) to prevent
image burn.
