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.

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.

5) You will now be welcomed with the initial  
set-up screen.  
6) Once tuning has finished 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 follow  
the steps to begin tuning.  
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.  
Tip: If the TV finds some, but not all, of the Digital channels, the TV is functioning correctly but the  
signal being received is not strong enough. (The signal strength needs to be above 85% - you can see the  
signal strength the TV is receiving when you change channels/ programmes) you will need to increase  
the signal reception in order to receive all of the channels available. The most economical way to do  
this is by purchasing and connecting a ‘signal booster’ in between the TV and the TV aerial socket. If this  
does not solve the problem, you will need to upgrade the TV aerial to a digital hi-gain compatible aerial
