Important Safety Instructions

Important Information - Regarding Use of

Video Games, Computers, Captions or Other

Fixed Image Displays

The extended use of ¿ xed image program material

can cause a permanent “shadow image” on the LCD

panel.

This background image is viewable on normal

programs in the form of a stationary ¿ xed image. This

type of irreversible LCD/LED panel deterioration can

be limited by observing the following steps:

1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a

minimum viewing level.

2. Do not display the ¿ xed image for extended

periods of time.

3. Turn the power off when not in actual use.

Examples of images that you need to watch out for

are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):

• 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.

• Time Displays

• Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long

period of time

• TV/DVD Menus: e.g. Listings of DVD disk content

• Pause Mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode

for long periods of time, e.g. When watching

DVDs or videos.

Important - Once ‘shadow image/screen burn’

occurs, it will never disappear and is not

repairable under warranty.

UK: Waste electrical products should not be disposed

of with household waste. Separate disposal facilities

exist. For your nearest facilities, please see www.

recycle-more.co.uk or in store for details.

ROI: Waste electrical products should not be

disposed of with household waste. Separate disposal

facilities exist. Check with your Local Authority or

retailer for recycling advice.

Observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries.

• Do not use different types of batteries together or

mix old and new batteries.

• Dispose of batteries in an environmentally

friendly way.

• Certain regions may regulate the disposal of

batteries.

Please consult your local authority.

As part of our ongoing development to reduce power

consumption, we have added an extra function to this

Television called ‘Ecohome’ (you will see this during

the ¿ rst time installation set up). Power consumption

using the Ecohome function is approximately 15%

lower than some other modes. The picture brightness

is reduced using the Ecohome function. If this

function is not suitable for your viewing environment,

you can select other modes as necessary.

(Please note, ‘Demo’ mode is for optimum default

picture settings, however, power consumption is

approximately 15% higher than ‘Ecohome’ mode)

Please refer to the user guide section ‘Picture

settings’ in order to change the mode to one that

maybe more suitable for your environment. There is

also a shortcut button on the remote control called

‘P-Mode’ should you wish to change to another mode.

TV I have tuned in

Digital TV but I am

not receiving any or

all of the channels

and/or the channels I

receive are breaking

up

1) Check you are in an area that can receive Freeview. Visit

www.freeview.co.uk

2) Check you are using an aerial that is able to receive a good digital

signal. In most cases, you will need an outdoor digital hi-gain/wideband

aerial. In areas that have excellent Freeview coverage, you may be able to

use a loft type aerial but it is highly likely that you will also need to connect

a booster between the back of the TV and the TV aerial wall socket.

Unfortunately, to receive a good enough digital signal, it is not possible

to use a portable/indoor type aerial. This may change once the analogue

signal is switched off in 2012 and the Digital signal strength is increased.

television but when

I switch it off it is not

storing the channels
