- Unplug power and signal cables when unused for long periods.
- Always hold the wide slot of the plug when unplugging; do not pull or twist the cord.
- Contact service if the power cord core is exposed or broken.
- Replace AC outlet if the plug cannot be inserted completely or fastened.
- Avoid touching antenna or power plug during thunderstorms.
- Do not touch power plug with wet hands.
- Use rated power sockets; avoid overloading.
- Read and understand all instructions and warnings.
- Use manufacturer-provided accessories.
- Adjust settings via panel buttons or remote; do not remove covers or attempt self-service.
- Avoid over-pressing the panel.
- Place the product on a stable, flat, well-ventilated surface, away from heat sources, direct sunlight, vibration, high temperature, and humidity.
- Do not place liquid containers on the product.
- Avoid strong magnetic or current fields.
Remote Controller (RC) Maintenance:
- Use two AAA batteries.
- Point the RC at the sensor within 8 meters and 30 degrees.
- Remove batteries if the RC is unused for a long time.
- Do not mix new and used batteries or different types.
- Do not expose the RC to shock, liquids, or high humidity.

Troubleshooting: A table is provided in the manual to help resolve common issues such as no picture/sound, abnormal picture/sound, VGA mode issues, snowy picture, blue screen, no audio, and remote controller malfunction. Solutions typically involve checking power connections, adjusting settings, ensuring proper cable connections, and replacing batteries.
Interference: The TV is designed to minimize interference, but local electromagnetic radiation can affect picture quality. Common sources of interference include RF interference (short-wave radio), diathermy equipment, weak TV signals ("snow"), multiple images ("ghost") from reflected signals, and car ignition/electrical motors. Proper antenna positioning and amplification can help mitigate these issues.
Pixel Policy: The LED panel is a high-technology product. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels (fixed blue, green, red, black, or white points) may appear on the screen. This is not considered a defect and does not affect the performance of the TV.
Software Updates: The TV's software can be updated using a USB storage device via the "Software Update (USB)" option in the Setup menu.
Disposal: Do not dispose of the product with general household waste. It should be disposed of through a separate collection system for used electronic products, in accordance with local regulations, to ensure proper treatment, recovery, and recycling, preventing negative environmental and health effects.
