service person to perform repairs:
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged.

c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.

Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of controls
not described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work by a qualified
technician.

e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that the

product needs servicing.

■ Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses replace-

ment parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the original

washbasin, kitchen sink and laundry tub, swimming pool and in a wet base-
ment.

ventilation. Do not cover or block these vents and openings since insufficient
ventilation can cause overheating and/or shorten the life of the product. Do not
place the product on a bed, sofa, rug or other similar surface, since they can

not place the product in an enclosed place such as a bookcase or rack, unless
proper ventilation is provided or the manufacturer’s instructions are followed.

Before using the LCD TV set for the first time, install the two R-03 (“AAA” size, UM/SUM-4) batteries supplied in the remote
control. When the batteries become depleted and the remote control fails to operate, replace the batteries with new R-03
(“AAA” size, UM/SUM-4) batteries.

Open the battery cover.

Insert two R-03 (“AAA” size,
UM/SUM-4) batteries.

Replace the battery cover.

■ Position the positive and

negative ends of the
batteries as indicated in
the compartment.

■ Improper use of batteries can result in a leakage of chemicals and/or explosion. Be sure to follow the instructions below.

• Place batteries with their terminals corresponding to the (+) and (–) indications.
• Different types of batteries have different characteristics. Do not mix batteries of different types.
• Do not mix old and new batteries. Mixing old and new batteries can shorten the life of new batteries and/or cause old

batteries to leak chemicals.

• Remove batteries as soon as they are depleted. Chemicals that leak from batteries can cause a rash. If chemical

leakage is found, wipe it off with a cloth.

• The batteries supplied with the product may have a shorter life expectancy due to storage conditions.
• If the remote control is not to be used for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the remote control.

■ Use the remote control by pointing it towards the remote sensor

window of the main unit. Objects between the remote control and

Cautions regarding use of remote control
■ Do not expose the remote control to shock. In addition, do not

expose the remote control to liquids, and do not place it in an area
with high humidity.

■ Do not install or place the remote control under direct sunlight. The

heat may cause deformation of the unit.

■ The remote control may not work properly if the remote sensor

window is under direct sunlight or strong lighting. In such a case,
change the angle of the lighting or main unit, or operate the remote
control closer to the remote sensor window.

■ Slide the cover while

pressing the (Y) part.
