- Placement: Avoid direct sunlight, high humidity, heat sources, kitchen counters, humidifiers, rain, wind, water containers, and dusty areas. Do not place on unstable surfaces.
- Handling: Do not drop the product or let it fall over. Do not spray water or inflammable substances. Do not apply strong pressure to the panel. When moving, turn off power, unplug all cables, and hold the TV frame firmly (avoid transparent parts, speakers). For large TVs, use at least two people.
- Children Safety: Keep anti-moisture packing material out of reach. Do not let children climb or cling onto the TV. Dispose of used batteries carefully.
- External Objects: Do not drop metallic or inflammable objects into the product.
- Antenna Cable: Bend between inside and outside building to prevent water flow.
- Electrical Outlets: Do not plug too many devices into a single outlet.
- Adapter: Handle carefully to prevent external shocks.
- Repair: Do not disassemble, repair, or modify the product. Contact a service center for check, calibration, or repair.
- Thunder/Lightning: Never touch the product or antenna during a thunder or lightning storm.
- Gas Leakage: Never touch the wall outlet when there is leakage of gas.
- Ventilation: Ensure adequate distance from walls (more than 10 cm) and avoid placing in enclosed spaces like bookshelves or cupboards. Do not block air vents.
- Dust: Prevent dust from collecting on power plug pins or outlet.
- Batteries: Use only specified battery types. Do not mix new and old batteries. Keep away from excessive heat. Do not place non-rechargeable batteries in charging devices.
Cleaning:
- Unplug the power cord before cleaning.
- Wipe with a soft cloth.
- Do not use excessive force, water, wet cloths, glass cleaner, car/industrial shiner, abrasives, wax, benzene, or alcohol, as these can damage the product.
Troubleshooting:

- No Image/Sound: Check power, wall outlet, and if the TV is turned on.
- Sudden Turn Off: Check power control settings (Auto Power Off, Sleep Timer, Timer Power Off).
- PC Connection Issues ('No signal'/'Invalid Format'): Turn TV off/on, reconnect HDMI cable, restart PC.
General Maintenance:
- Long Periods of Non-Use: Unplug the TV from the AC mains wall socket to prevent dust accumulation and fire hazards.
- Cord Examination: Periodically examine the appliance cord for damage or deterioration. Unplug and discontinue use if damaged, and have it replaced by an authorized servicer.
- Still Images: Avoid displaying still images for prolonged periods to prevent image sticking.
- Cracking Noise: Normal due to plastic thermal contraction.
- Humming/Buzzing: Low level noise from high-speed switching circuit is normal.
- Cold Product Flicker: Small flicker when turned on is normal for cold products.
- Panel Pixels: Tiny black/coloured dots (1 ppm) are normal for advanced panels and not a malfunction.
- USB Storage Devices: Use FAT32 or NTFS file systems. For external HDDs, use devices with rated voltage less than 5 V and current less than 500 mA. Use USB memory sticks of 32 GB or less and HDDs of 2 TB or less. Back up important files as data loss is user's responsibility.
