Previously installed channels are not in the channel list Make sure that the correct channel list is selected.
2.2 General
The TV does not switch on

• Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet. Wait for one minute then reconnect it.
• Make sure that the power cable is securely connected.

Creaking sound at startup or power off
When you are turning the TV on, off or to standby, you hear a creaking sound from the TV chassis. The creaking sound is due to the normal expansion and contraction of the TV as it cools and warms up. This does not affect performance.
TV does not respond to the remote control
The TV requires some time to start up. During this time, the TV does not respond to the remote control or TV controls. This is normal behavior.
If the TV continues to be unresponsive to the remote control, you can check if the remote control is working by means of a mobile phone camera. Put the phone in camera mode and point the remote control to the camera lens. If you press any key on the remote control and you notice the infra-red LED flicker through the camera, the remote control is working. The TV needs to be checked.
If you do not notice the flickering, the remote control might be broken or its batteries are low.
This method of checking the remote control is not possible with remote controls which are wirelessly paired with the TV.
The TV goes back to standby after showing the startup screen
When the TV is in standby, a startup screen is displayed, then the TV returns to standby mode. This is normal behavior. When the TV is disconnected and reconnected to the power supply, the startup screen is displayed at the next startup. To turn the TV on from standby, press on the remote control or the TV.
The standby light keeps on blinking
Disconnect the power cable from the power outlet. Wait 5 minutes before you reconnect the power cable. If the blinking reoccurs, contact AOC TV Consumer Care.

Safety and care

23.1 Safety
Important
Read and understand all safety instructions before you use the TV. If damage is caused by failure to follow instructions, the warranty does not apply.
Secure the TV from falling over
Always use the supplied wall bracket to secure the TV from falling over. Mount the bracket and secure the TV onto the bracket, even if you put the TV on the floor.
You can find the mounting instructions in the Quick Start Guide that came with the TV.
Risk of electric shock or fire

• Never expose the TV to rain or water. Never place liquid containers, such as vases, near the TV.
  If liquids are spilled on or into the TV, disconnect the TV from the power outlet immediately.

• Never expose the TV, remote control or batteries to excessive heat. Never place them near burning candles, naked flames or other heat sources, including direct sunlight.

• Never insert objects into the ventilation slots or other openings on the TV.

• Never place heavy objects on the power cord.

• Avoid force coming onto power plugs. Loose power plugs can cause arcing or fire. Ensure that no strain is exerted on the power cord when you swivel the TV screen.

• To disconnect the TV from the main power, the power plug of the TV must be disconnected. When disconnecting the power, always pull the power plug, never the cord. Ensure that you have full access to the power plug, power cord and outlet socket at all times.

Risk of injury or damage to the TV

• Two people are required to lift and carry a TV that weighs more than 25 kg or 55 lbs.
• If you mount the TV on a stand, only use the supplied stand. Secure the stand to the TV tightly. Place the TV on a flat, level surface that can support the weight of the TV and the stand.
• When wall mounted, ensure that the wall mount can safely bear the weight of the TV set. We bear no responsibility for improper wall mounting that results in accident, injury or damage.
• Parts of this product are made of glass. Handle with care to avoid injury or damage.

Risk of damage to the TV!
Before you connect the TV to the power outlet, ensure that the power voltage matches the value printed on the back of the TV.
Never connect the TV to the power outlet if the voltage is different.
Risk of injury to children
Follow these precautions to prevent the TV from toppling over and causing injury to children:

• Never place the TV on a surface covered by a cloth or other material that can be pulled away.
• Ensure that no part of the TV hangs over the edge of the mounting surface.
• Never place the TV on tall furniture, such as a bookcase, without anchoring both the furniture and TV to the wall or a suitable support.
• Teach children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the TV.

Risk of swallowing batteries!
The remote control may contain coin-type batteries which can easily be swallowed by small children. Keep these batteries out of reach of children at all times.
Risk of overheating
Never install the TV in a confined space. Always leave a space of at least 10 cm or 4 inches around the TV for ventilation. Ensure curtains or other objects never cover the ventilation slots on the TV.
Lightning storms
Disconnect the TV from the power outlet and antenna before lightning storms.
During lightning storms, never touch any part of the TV, power cord or antenna cable.
Risk of hearing damage
Avoid using earphones or headphones at high volumes or for prolonged periods of time.
Low temperatures
If the TV is transported in temperatures below 5°C or 41°F, unpack the TV and wait until the TV temperature reaches room temperature before connecting the TV to the power outlet.
Humidity
In rare occasions, depending on temperature and humidity, minor condensation can occur on the inside of the TV glass front (on some models). To prevent this, do not expose the TV to direct sunlight, heat or extreme humidity. If condensation occurs, it will disappear spontaneously while the TV is playing for a few hours.
The condensation moisture will not harm the TV or cause malfunction.
23.2 Screen care

• Never touch, push, rub or strike the screen with any object.
• Unplug the TV before cleaning.
• Clean the TV and frame with a soft damp cloth and wipe gently. Never use substances such as alcohol, chemicals, or household cleaners on the TV.
• To avoid deformations and color fading, wipe off water drops as quickly as possible.
• Avoid stationary images as much as possible. Stationary images are images that remain on screen for extended periods of time. Stationary images include on screen menus, black bars, time displays, etc. If you must use stationary images, reduce screen contrast and brightness to avoid screen damage.
