Warning concerning stationary images on the TV screenA characteristic of Plasma Display Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time cancause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen.This is called phosphor burn in.Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving andchanging images that fill the screen.

Examples of stationary images (this is not an all-inclusive list, you may encounter others in yourviewing):• TV menus;• Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended

to change to a picture format so that the picture fills the entire screen;• TV channel logo: present a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast

graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the screen;• Stock market stickers: presented at the bottom of the TV screen;• Shopping channel logos and pricing displays: bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in

the same location on the TV screen.Examples of still pictures also include logos, computer images, time display, teletext and imagesdisplayed in 4:3 mode, static images or characters, etc.

Notes:- reduce contrast and brightness when viewing- once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Care of the screenDo not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damagethe screen permanently. And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment.Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to thescreen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen.When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materialslike chamois soaks.Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquidcleaners or aerosol cleaners.Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible.Their long timecontact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading..

How to dispose of batteries?The batteries supplied do not contain the heavy metals mercury and cadmium. Nevertheless in manyareas batteries may not be disposed of with your household waste. Please ensure you dispose ofbatteries according to local regulations.
