Function Description
The Hisense 4K HDR Smart TV serves as a central entertainment hub, offering high-resolution video display with High Dynamic Range (HDR) capabilities for enhanced picture quality.

Usage Features
The Quick Setup Guide outlines a straightforward process for getting the TV ready for use.
- Initial Setup: The first step involves attaching the TV stand or mounting the TV on a wall. Instructions are provided for both, emphasizing caution due to the fragility of the LED display. For stand attachment, users place the TV face down on a soft surface, insert the base stands into the bottom slots, and secure them with provided screws. For wall mounting (bracket not included), users remove the TV stand if attached, remove four screws from the back of the TV, and place spacers in the corresponding bracket holes before attaching the wall mount. It's crucial to use fixing screws of a specific length (8.0 - 10.0 mm) to prevent internal damage and ensure secure mounting.
- Connecting External Devices: The guide provides a visual back and bottom view of the TV, detailing various ports and their functions. Users are instructed to connect appropriate cables securely to the correct ports to ensure optimal picture and color quality.
- ANT/CABLE: For connecting an outdoor VHF/UHF antenna.
- HDMI: For connecting High Definition Multimedia Interface devices like DVD players, recorders, or set-top boxes. The TV has multiple HDMI ports, some supporting 4K@60Hz and ARC (Audio Return Channel).
- VIDEO/AV IN (Yellow, White, Red): For connecting composite video and left-right audio cables from external AV devices like video cameras or older satellite receivers.
- DIGITAL AUDIO OUT: For connecting an optical cable from an external digital audio system.
- HEADPHONE: For connecting headphones to hear audio from the TV. Note that headphones with microphones are not supported.
- USB: For browsing photos, music, and movies from a USB device. Hard disks with a total current consumption or impulse current consumption greater than 500mA are not supported.

- Wired Network: The TV can automatically obtain an IP address when connected via an Ethernet cable (DHCP is the default setting). If the connection fails, users can retry or manually enter IP settings (Static mode).
- Wireless Network: The TV has a built-in wireless LAN adapter. Users can turn on Wi-Fi, select from a list of available networks, and input the password. If the desired network isn't listed, users can choose "See all" or "Add new network" to manually enter the Wi-Fi name, security type, and password. To close the network connection, users can unplug the network cable or turn off Wi-Fi.

Maintenance Features
The guide includes important information regarding remote control and battery maintenance, as well as troubleshooting tips.
- Battery Care: Users are advised to discard batteries in a designated disposal area, not to throw them into fire, and to remove old batteries immediately to prevent leakage. If the remote will not be used for a long time, batteries should be removed. If batteries leak, the compartment should be cleaned with a cloth, and skin contact with chemicals should be washed immediately. Mixing old and new batteries, or different types of batteries (alkaline, carbon-zinc, rechargeable), is discouraged. If the remote becomes warm or hot, discontinue use and contact support.
- Remote Control Range: The remote operates effectively up to 26 feet in front of the TV and within a 30-degree horizontal or vertical angle.
