Maintenance Features
The user guide emphasizes several maintenance and safety features to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the TV. For the remote control, it is recommended to remove batteries if the remote will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.

For the TV itself, proper installation is crucial.

Adequate ventilation is essential, and users are warned not to block ventilation openings or place the TV near heat sources. The TV should not be exposed to dripping or splashing liquids.

These tips guide users through basic checks like power cord connection, antenna connection, volume settings, and remote control battery replacement. The guide also explains that certain visual artifacts like colored dots or breaking up pictures might be due to external interference or inherent properties of the LED screen, rather than a malfunction.
The manual also includes important safety warnings, such as not removing the back cover of the TV due to high voltages, and not placing the TV on unstable surfaces. It stresses the importance of using manufacturer-recommended cabinets or stands and securing the TV to prevent tipping, especially around children.
