damage which often requires extensive work by a qualified technician
to restore the unit to normal operation.


Use in well-ventilated area and do not block any of the ventilation
openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

The unit must be operated from the type of power source

1.3 CLEANING & CARE

To avoid possible shock hazard, please be sure that the television is
unplugged from the electrical outlet before cleaning.

When cleaning the television screen, take care not to scratch or
damage the screen surface (avoid wearing jewelry or using anything
abrasive).

Wipe the front of the screen with a clean cloth dampened with
water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when cleaning.

Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge
dampened in a solution of cool clear water. Use a clean dry cloth
to dry the wiped surfaces.

Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet
back.

Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or
near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring of the
cabinet finish.

Do not allow a still image to be displayed for an extended period
of time as this can cause a permanent after- image to remain.

recycled and re-used. Specialized companies can recycle your 
product to increase the amount of reusable materials and minimize
the amounts which need to be properly disposed.

This product might also use batteries, which should not be thrown
away when depleted, but should be handed in and disposed of as
small chemical waste.

Please find out about the local regulations regarding the disposal of
the television, batteries, and packaging materials whenever you

be maintained for proper ventilation. Avoid installing the product in
the kitchen, bathroom or any other places with high humidity so as
not to shorten the service life of the electronic components.
