WARNING This equipment is not waterproof. To prevent a fire or shock
hazard, do not place any container filled with liquid near this equipment(such as a vase or flower pot) or expose it to dripping , splashing rain or moisture.
Read all the instructions carefully before using the unit and keep them for future reference.
Retain the manual. If you pass the unit onto a third party make sure to include this manual.
Check that the voltage marked on the rating label matches your mains voltage.
Damage Please inspect the unit for damage after unpacking.
Do not continue to operate the unit if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
Location of Unit The unit must be placed on a flat stable surface and should
not be subjected to vibrations.
Do not place the unit on sloped or unstable surfaces as the unit may fall off or tip over.
The mains socket must be located near the unit and should be easily accessible.
This unit is designed for indoor, domestic use only.
Temperature Avoid extreme degrees of temperature, either hot or cold.
Place the unit well away from heat sources such as radiators or gas / electric fires.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and other sources of heat.
Naked Flames Never place any type of candle or naked flame on the top of
or near the unit.
Moisture To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock or product damage, do
not expose this unit to rain, moisture, dripping or splashing. No objects filled with liquids, such as vases, should be placed on the unit.
If you spill any liquid into the unit, it can cause serious damage. Switch it off at the mains immediately. Withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.
Ventilation WARNING - To prevent a fire hazard,do not place any naked
flame sources(such as a lighted candle) on the equipment.
WARNING - Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the product , and to protect it from overheating. To prevent fire hazard, the openings should never be blocked or covered with items (such as newspapers,table cloths,curtains) or by operating the equipment on thick carpet or a bed.
Do not install or place this unit in a bookcase, built-in cabinet or in another confined space. Ensure the unit is well ventilated.
Safety Always disconnect the unit from the mains supply before
connecting / disconnecting other devices or moving the unit.
Unplug the unit from the mains socket during a lightning storm.
Mains Cable Make sure the unit or unit stand is not resting on top of the
mains cable, as the weight of the unit may damage the mains cable and create a safety hazard.
If the mains cable is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
Interference Do not place the unit on or near appliances which may cause
electromagnetic interference. If you do, it may adversely affect the operating performance of the unit, and cause a distorted picture or sound.
Optimum Viewing View the unit in moderate light to prevent eye strain. It is
recommended to watch the unit from a distance 3-7 times that of the screen height.
LCD Screen The LCD screen is manufactured using high-precision
technology. However, some tiny black points and / or bright points (red, blue or green in colour) may constantly appear on the LCD screen. These points are generated in the manufacturing process and are normal.
Screen Burn A characteristic of Plasma and TV Panels is that displaying the
same image for a long time may cause a permanent after- image to remain on the screen. This is called screen burn. Most pictures shown on the unit will be constantly moving and fill the screen.
Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows (this is not an all-inclusive list):
1. Black Bars: If black bars appear at the left / right or top / bottom of the screen, it is recommended to change the format so that the picture fills the entire screen.
2. 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.
3. Time Displays
4. Teletext: Do not view a stationary page for long periods of time.
5. TV Menus
6. Pause Mode: Do not leave the screen in pause mode for long periods of time, e.g. when watching videos.
To prevent screen burn if viewing any of the above for long periods of time, reduce contrast and brightness when viewing. Once burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.
CAUTION - When installing this unit,make sure to leave space around the unit for ventilation to improve heat radiation (at least 20 cm at top, 10 cm at rear, and 10 cm at each side).

AdapterPortable hard Disk
USB Hub
Some versions of portable hard disk may require more power than the TV USB socket can provide. To ensure correct operation please use the power adapter for that device. If a USB hub is used, make sure its mains adapter is connected to the mains supply as the total current consumption may exceed 500mA. The maximum supported storage space of the hard disk is 1 TB. The file system only supports FAT32 format. If you want to store the video streaming of a TV programme, the transfer rate of the USB storage device must not be less than 2MB/sec, otherwise the picture and sound of the programme will be affected and a warning statement will be shown on the screen. If this happens, please upgrade your USB storage device. The TV screen will be blank temporarily as it will take time to start up and stabilise the connected hard disk. This is normal and the starting time may vary depending on the brand and the memory size of the connected hard disk. Disconnect the USB storage device if it is not in use.

FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Why have I lost some / all of my channels?
It happens sometimes if you have a weak signal. Usually it just means youll need to re-scan your TV. Dont worry, it is easy to do. And once youve done it, you should get all the channels available to you. If problems persist you may need to get your aerial checked. Talk to your retailer or contact your local aerial installer.
Why do I get blocking on my digital picture?
In most cases, blocking is caused by a reception problem either the signal is too weak or there is some kind of interference. Talk to your retailer or contact your local aerial installer.
Blocking can also be caused by a digital signal that is too strong. If you are still experiencing blocking and the signal is strong, consult your local aerial installer for advice.
Can I watch my TV using a portable set-top aerial?
Some, but only a few, homes may be able to use a set top aerial. However, for a much better reception, we strongly recommend that you use a rooftop aerial.
If you do not have access to a rooftop aerial for example, if you rent a flat and the aerial is the responsibility of your landlord, or if youre using a second TV in the bedroom and dont want the hassle and expense of using extension cables, a set top aerial may be your only option.
