Handling the LCD screen
s Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage the LCD
screen. Take care when you place the TV by a window.
s Do not push on or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy object
on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity or
cause LCD panel malfunctions.
s If the TV is used in a cold place, a smear may appear on the screen.
This is not a malfunction. The screen returns to normal as the
temperature rises to a normal operating level.
s If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a ghosting may occur for a
while. The ghosting will eventually disappear.
s The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a
malfunction.

Please note that the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology.
However, black points or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may
appear constantly on the LCD screen, and irregular colored stripes or
brightness may appear on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction.

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 or poisoning/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.
Fluorescent Lamp
This TV uses a special fluorescent lamp as its light source. If the screen
image becomes dark, flickers or does not appear, the fluorescent lamp has

service personnel.

s The LCD contains a small amount of liquid crystal and mercury. The
fluorescent lamp used in this TV also contains mercury. Follow your
