by the impact and cause serious injury.

left in standby to work correctly.

• View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor light or
during long period of time, strains your eyes.
• When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid
excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.
OLED Screen
• Although the OLED screen is made with high-precision
technology and 99.99 % or more of the pixels are effective,
black dots may appear or bright points of light (white, red, blue,
or green) may appear constantly on the OLED screen. This is a
structural property of the OLED screen and is not a malfunction.

this TV set. The image may be uneven or the OLED screen may
be damaged.
• The screen and cabinet get warm when this TV set is in use. This
is not a malfunction.

Handling and cleaning the screen surface/

Be sure to unplug the mains lead connected to the TV set from
mains socket before cleaning.
To avoid material degradation or screen coating degradation,
observe the following precautions.
• To remove dust from the screen surface/cabinet, wipe gently
with a soft cloth. If dust is persistent, wipe with a soft cloth

substance such as hand cream or sunblock.
