TV to Extend its Service Life

To ensure good, satisfactory and lasting operation of the TV, please observe the following maintenance and routine check procedures:

Maintenance of TV

• Turn off your TV properly by pressing the power key instead of turning off using the remote control power key. This is to avoid a long standby mode for the TV.
• Turn off the TV if you are experiencing power or voltage fluctuations, if it is not connected to an automatic voltage regulator or regulated power supply.
• Avoid placing your TV in places where the unit can come in contact with any liquid. Do not place it in areas where people usually take a drink and possibly spill the liquid, or in places where there could be potential leak. Liquid that penetrates the TV can cause defects on the components inside the TV. It can also cause short-circuit of the board.
• Do not place any candle on top of the TV in case of a power failure.
• Do not attempt to clean or repair the circuit board if you are not an electrical or electronics professional.

Maintenance of Remote control

• Always replace the batteries with new ones when the remote control stops functioning. Dead batteries left inside the remote control unit can cause corrosion of the circuit board.
• Avoid getting the remote control unit wet or come in contact with any liquid.
• Do not allow children to play with remote control unit as dropping of the remote control can cause damage to the board inside the unit.
• Regularly clean the surface of your remote control with clean and dry cloth. Never use water, cleaning fluids, wax, or chemicals. Keeping dust off your TV will help extend its service life.
• If the remote control unit becomes dusty, use soft cloth or cotton with neutral cleaning agent to remove the dust off. Leave it to dry in the air.

Maintenance of TV to Extend its Service Life Proper Use:

• Keep the TV screen from direct sunlight. Exposure to direct sunlight for a long period during the day can affect the viewing condition of the TV. It can also cause the aging of LCD or LED panel which will eventually decrease the luminosity factor and cause a short life cycle.
• Do not remove the back cabinet of your TV without any professional maintenance technician supervision. Do not touch the circuit components inside the TV in order to avoid accidents such as burns or electric shock. A high voltage and live backplane inside the TV. If some metal falls into the TV, call for assistance and ask professional technicians to remove the back cabinet to take the metal out. Keeping the metal inside the unit may cause short-circuit or burning of some components inside on the board.
• Turn off TV if there is a thunderstorm. Equip the TV with a lightning rod if using an outdoor antenna. In the absence of lightning rod, unplug the power cord and outdoor antenna to avoid damages caused by a lightning strike.
• Do not break or cut the power cord. Always check whether the power cord has been damaged. An exposed copper can be a safety hazard and the entire power cord must be replaced immediately.
• Avoid electric shock and electrostatic induction – the antenna and AV terminal interface on the TV have induction current caused by return circuit on the baseboard. If you need to connect the terminals by yourself take caution not to do with wet hands or standing on the floor barefoot. Unplug the TV your television before connecting the terminals.

Proper Maintenance:

• Avoid moving the TV frequently. The LCD/LED panel is the most important part so avoid hitting it with tough objects or cause severe shock to the unit. Never move the TV when it is plugged in. Unplug the TV and wait for a few minutes before moving the TV.
• 
  
• Always check the TV for heat dissipation while watching TV. Keep your TV away from heat sources or close to the wall. During winter, keep the TV away from heater vents or radiators.
• Adjust the screen's brightness to moderate level or to the quality of the image.
• Avoid frequent turning on and off of the TV. Every time the TV is turned on, the LCD/LED panel is impacted by high current surge. Also, the inductive and capacitive components on the circuit will be easily damaged due to the constant over-voltage and over-current.
• Turn off the TV immediately if there is abnormal grating, smoke and burning smell coming out of the unit. Ask a professional service technician to check before turning it back on for safety reasons.
• If moisture is observed on the TV, use the TV frequently because the heat produced by the running TV can disperse the moisture effectively.
