These include using recommended cabinets or stands, ensuring the TV does not overhang furniture edges, educating children about climbing dangers, routing cords safely, and never placing the TV in an unstable location or on tall furniture without anchoring.
Maintenance Features:
- Cleaning and Care: Before cleaning, the power cord must be unplugged. The TV, screen, and remote control should be cleaned with a soft, moist, clean, and color-natural cloth only. Chemical cleaners, insect repellents, solvents, thinners, or other volatile substances should not be used as they can degrade the surface quality. Water or other liquids should not be sprayed directly on the TV to prevent product failure. The display panel is delicate and should not be scratched with fingernails or hard objects. The power plug should be wiped with a dry cloth regularly.
- Service/Repair: Users are explicitly warned not to remove the TV cover or back, as there are no user-serviceable parts inside. All servicing should be referred to qualified service personnel. Unauthorized modifications can void the warranty, cause electric shock, and lead to fires.
- Battery Handling: Instructions for installing and handling remote control batteries are provided. Users should insert two AAA batteries, matching the (+) and (-) ends correctly. Incorrect battery use can cause corrosion, leakage, or explosion. Only the specified battery type should be used, and old and new batteries or different types should not be mixed. Rechargeable batteries should not be used. Batteries should not be burned or broken up and must be disposed of correctly, not as domestic waste. Batteries should not be exposed to excessive heat.
- Packaging Disposal: Anti-moisture materials and plastic bags should be kept out of reach of children due to suffocation risk and the harmful nature of anti-moisture material if swallowed.
- Recycling/Licenses: The manual includes information on recycling the TV and batteries in accordance with European Directives (WEEE 2012/19/EU and Battery Directive). This ensures proper disposal to conserve natural resources and protect human health and the environment. The TV's components comply with the RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substance) directive.
- Off-gassing Warning: New furniture, carpet, paint, building materials, and electronics can release chemicals through evaporation. A slight smell may be noticed when the TV is first turned on, which is normal as components heat up for the first time. The materials used meet environmental requirements, and the fumes will diminish over time.
- Image Burn Prevention: To prevent "image burn" on the LED screen, users should avoid displaying still images for long periods. If the aspect ratio is set to 4:3 for an extended time, image burn may occur in the black areas, and this is not covered by the warranty. Strong force or impact on the display panel should be avoided, as well as touching the LED screen for long periods, which can cause temporary distortion effects.
- Power Supply Management: The power plug must be easily accessible for disconnection. The TV consumes power even in standby mode if connected to a live socket. During long periods of absence, the power plug and all connected antenna cables should be disconnected. After powering off, the TV should not be turned on again within 5 seconds to prevent abnormal operation due to frequent power switching.
- Volume Control: Users are advised to avoid extreme volume, especially over long periods or when using headphones, to prevent irreversible hearing damage. If drumming noises are heard in the ears, the volume should be reduced, or headphone use should be temporarily stopped.
- Thunderstorms: During a thunderstorm, the power plug and all connected antenna cables should be pulled out to prevent damage from overvoltage caused by lightning strikes.
