Warnings  
To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or damage to the television, do not expose it to  
dust, rain or moisture, or place any objects filled with liquids on or near the television.  
Do not place the television in a confined space, ensure that nothing can obstruct the  
ventilation openings at the rear of the television.  
To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or  
other open flames away from this product at all times  
Dispose of this television and any components including batteries in an environmentally  
friendly manner. If in doubt, please contact your local authority for details of recycling.  
Safety  
For your safety, this appliance is fitted with a fused moulded 3 pin mains plug. Should  
the fuse need to be replaced, ensure that any replacement is of the same amperage and  
approved with the BSI mark.  
The television should be connected to a main socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.  
Never try and replace the mains plug unless you have adequate qualifications and are  
legally authorised to do so. In the event that a replacement Mains cable is required,  
contact the manufacturer for a suitable replacement.  
Never use the television if it is damaged in any way.  
Always place the television on a flat level surface avoiding anywhere which may be subject  
to strong vibration.  
Ensure the television is not placed on top of the power cable as the weight of the  
television may damage the cable and cause a safety hazard.  
Never place mobile phones, speakers or any other device which may cause magnetic or  
radio interference with the television. If interference is apparent, move the device causing  
the interference away from the television.  
To disconnect the apparatus from the mains, please use the all pole mains switch located on the side,  
underside or rear of the TV. The switch shall remain readily operable.  
Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine,  
fire or the like.  
Install the product at least 5cm from the wall for ventilation.  
Maintenance  
To clean this unit, wipe with a soft, dry cloth. If the surfaces are extremely dirty, use a  
soft cloth dipped in a soap and water solution or a mild detergent solution.  
Use eyeglass cleaner to remove stubborn dirt from the LCD/LED Screen.  
Never use alcohol, paint thinner or benzene to clean this unit.  
Before using a chemically treated cloth, read the instructions that came with the cloth  
carefully.  
CAUTION: If water or other liquid enters the television through the display panel surface or back cover a

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
Please read these instructions. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the  
appliance is operated.  
Important Information Regarding Use of Video Games, Computers,  
Captions or Other Fixed Image Displays  
The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow image” on the LCD  
panel.  
This background image is viewable on normal programs in the form of a stationary fixed image. This type  
of irreversible LCD/LED panel deterioration can be limited by observing the following steps:  
1. Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.  
2. Do not display the fixed image for extended periods of time.  
3. Turn the power off when not in actual use.  
Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows (this is not an exhaustive list):  
TV Channel Logos: e.g. Shopping channel logos and pricing displays-especially if they are  
bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause ageing of the screen.  
Time Displays  
Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long period of time  
TV/DVD Menus: e.g. Listings of DVD disk content  
Pause Mode: Do not leave the TV in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. When watching DVDs or  
videos.  
Important - Once ‘shadow image/screen burn’ occurs, it will never disappear and is not repairable under  
warranty.  
How do I dispose of this product?  
UK: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Separate  
store for details.  
ROI: Waste electrical products should not be disposed of with household waste. Separate  
disposal facilities exist. Check with your Local Authority or retailer for recycling advice.  
Batteries  
Observe the correct polarity when inserting batteries.  
Do not use different types of batteries together or mix old and new batteries.  
Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way.  
Certain regions may regulate the disposal of batteries.  
Please consult your local authority.

Getting Started - Initial Set Up

outlet (Fig B)  
Fig B  
Fig A  
3) Switch on the television using the  
power on/off switch located on the side  
of the TV.  
4) Insert the batteries supplied into the  
Remote control and press the Standby  
button to power on the TV  
Power on/off  
5) You will now be welcomed with the initial  
set-up screen.  
6) After tuning the following screen will  
appear.  
If it does not appear, on the remote control,  
please press [MENU] then 8-8-8-8 and the  
menu will appear.  
Press OK on the remote control and tuning  
will start.  
If you are missing channels, the reason for this is likely to be signal strength, you should  
consider connecting signal booster and re-tuning the TV.  
As part of our ongoing development to reduce power consumption, we have added an extra function to this Television  
called ‘Ecohome’ (you will see this during the first time installation set up). Power consumption using the Ecohome  
function is approximately 15% lower than some other modes. The picture brightness is reduced using the Ecohome  
function. If this function is not suitable for your viewing environment, you can select other modes as necessary. (Please  
note, ‘Professional’ mode is for optimum default picture settings, however, power consumption is approximately 15%  
higher than ‘Ecohome’ mode)  
Please refer to the user guide section ‘Picture settings’ in order to change the mode to one that maybe more suitable for  
your environment. There is also a shortcut button on the remote control called ‘P-Mode’ should you wish to change to  
another mode.

unavailable in the other sources where they have no affect.

2) Check you are using an aerial that is able to receive a good digital signal. In most  
cases, you will need an outdoor digital hi-gain/wideband aerial. In areas that have  
excellent Freeview coverage, you may be able to use a loft type aerial but it is highly  
likely that you will also need to connect a booster between the back of the TV and  
the TV aerial wall socket. Unfortunately, to receive a good enough digital signal, it is  
not possible to use a portable/indoor type aerial. This may change once the analogue  
signal is switched off in 2012 and the Digital signal strength is increased.

DIGITAL SWITCHOVER  
Television in the UK is going digital, bringing us all more choice and new services. Starting late 2007 and  
ending in 2012, television services in the UK will go completely digital, TV region by TV region.  
How the switchover affects your TV equipment.  
Your new TV has a digital tuner built in, which means it is ready to receive the Freeview signal by simply  
connecting it into your aerial socket (you can check if you can get digital TV through your aerial now or  
whether you will have to wait until the switchover at www.digitaluk.co.uk)  
When the TV switchover happens in your area, there are at least two occasions when you will need to  
re-tune your TV in order to continue receiving your existing TV channels and also to pick up new ones.  
Digital UK, the body leading the digital switchover, will advise you when you need to retune during the  
switchover.  
How to retune.  
Retuning your TV is a very quick and simple process. We recommend that you retune every few months to  
ensure you are receiving the very latest TV and radio channels that are broadcast.  
1) On the remote control press [MENU] followed by 8 - 8 - 8 - 8 (so the number 8 button four times)  
2) The First Time Installation menu will appear. Press [OK] and tuning will take place.  
For help and support regarding the digital switchover, please contact Digital UK:  
Telephone: 08456 50 50 50 (calls charged at local call rate, approx 3p per minute daytime or 1p per minute  
evenings from a BT landline)
