Prevention - To avoid this matter, use the product after reducing brightness and contrast, especially when a still image is displayed for a long time. (Contrast 50/Brightness 50 - See 18 page) Once an image retention occurs, use the mode that displays motion. It will reduce this matter. 3. Solution - The temporary image sticking would decrease with displaying Full-White pattern during 10 hours. * The permanent image sticking could not take off under the latest technology. This method may be used to eliminate a temporary retained image that occurs after displaying a still image in a certain period of time. Since it may take several minutes to several hours to remove image sticking, it is recommendable to display motion pictures during 2~3 minutes every hour when keeping displaying a still image. As image sticking is influenced by the brightness of a still image being displayed and its display time, it is recommended to reduce the brightness of the screen. * Image Sticking does not come under the warranty.

Outdoor Antenna Grounding If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the TV, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. Example of Grounding According to National Electrical Code Instruction Do not use or store a flammable spray or inflammable things near the TV. - They may cause explosion or fire. Do not install the TV in a bookshelf, closet, or a place with poor air circulation. - Fire may be caused due to the rise of internal temperature. Make sure to remove the speakers before moving the TV with speakers mounted on it. - When the speakers are detached from the unit while carrying it, this may cause damage to the unit or personal injury. Any necessary action such as making the antenna cable loop at the entrance of the building should be taken to prevent rainwater on the outdoor antenna cable from possibly running indoor. - If raindrop gets into the LCD TV, it may cause a fire or an electric shock.
