Position• If a television is not positioned in a sufficiently stable location, it can be potentially

hazardous due to falling. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:• Securely attaching the TV to the wall mount fastened on the wall.• Only using furniture that can safely support the television.• Ensuring the television is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the TV controls.• Not standing the TV on cloth or other materials placed between the television and

Installation

Positioning the TV set• Place the TV screen on a solid horizontal surface, observing all safety instructions about

positioning the TV on page 5 (see page 8 for how to attach the base).

• Leave a space of at least 10cm free all around the set for ventilation.

• To prevent any fault and unsafe situations, do not place any objects on top of the set.

• This TV set can be used in tropical and/or moderate climates.

Antenna and power connections

1. Connect the antenna cable (not supplied) into the antenna input terminal at the rear panel of the TV set and plug the cable into the antenna socket in the wall.

2. Connect the power plug into the wall outlet. (The type of power plug provided may be different from the above picture for some countries.)

NOTE: • A 75Ω coaxial antenna cable is normally used for current outdoor antennae or cable TV.

For better reception we suggest using this type of antenna cable.

• Flat cables or indoor antennae are old technology and may not provide good enough reception.

Attaching the baseWhen attaching the base to the TV monitor, make sure you have all the parts and accessories required — see page 6 for a list of the complete box contents. You will also need a Phillips screwdriver. Then follow the instructions below.

1. As pictured in Diagram 1, fasten the bracket (2) to the base (1) with the four long screws (BA4x20) (3) and tighten the screws.

2. Put a large soft cloth on top of a flat surface (such as a table) to prevent damaging the LCD screen. Then place the TV monitor flat on top of the cloth with the screen side facing down, as pictured below in Diagram 2.

3. Now insert the base into the opening at the bottom of the TV, as pictured above in Diagram 2. Make sure you insert the base in the correct direction, as you will not be able to screw it in place if it is inserted the wrong way.

4. The four round holes in the connection bracket of the base (4) should align with the four holes at the back of the TV housing. When the holes are perfectly aligned, connect the base to the TV set with the four shorter screws (WM4X10) and tighten them, as pictured in Diagram 3.

FAQs

Problem Solution

No picture, no sound 1. Check if the house fuse or circuit breaker is working by checking that all the fuse inside your main fuse box are ON or test the wall outlet is working by trying with another electrical product e.g. a desk lamp.

2. Make sure your wall socket is switched on and is working properly (to check this, plug another electrical device into the outlet).

3. Make sure the plug is securely inserted into the outlet.4. Make sure all connections are secure.

No colour 1. Change the colour system. 2. Adjust the saturation. 3. Try another channel. 4. Check if the program is broadcast in black-and-white.

Remote control does not work

1. Change the batteries.2. Check that the batteries are installed correctly.3. Ensure the TV is connected to the mains power.

No picture, normal sound 1. Adjust the brightness and contrast.2. Broadcasting may be interrupted.

Normal picture, no sound 1. Press the Volume + button to increase the volume.2. Press MUTE to restore sound if the volume is set to mute.3. Change the sound system.4. Broadcasting may be interrupted.

Ripples in the picture This is usually caused by local interference from things such as cars, fluorescent lights or hair dryers. Adjust the antenna to minimise the interference.

Problem Solution

Snowy dots and interference

If the antenna is located in the fringe area of a television signal where the signal is weak, the picture may be marred by dots. When the signal is extremely weak, you may need to install a special antenna to improve the reception. Other options include:1. Adjust the position and orientation of the indoor/

outdoor antenna.2. Check the connection of the antenna.3. Fine tune the channel by selecting the channel into "Channel Setting" (see page 20) and scroll down to "Fine Tune" to slightly adjust the frequency.4. Try another channel. Broadcasting may be interrupted.

Pixellation, picture breaking up

Black spots or horizontal streaks appear, or the picture flutters or drifts. This is usually caused by interference from a car ignition system, neon lamps, electric drills or other electrical appliances.

Ghost (analog TV only) Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths: one is the direct path, the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.

Radio frequency interference

This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks and, in some cases, loss of contrast in the picture. Identify and remove the radio interference source.
