Read before operating equipment

Read these instructions.
Keep these instructions.
Heed all warnings.
Follow all instructions.
Do not use this apparatus near water.
Clean only with a dry cloth.
Do not block any of the ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or third prong is provided for your safety.
When the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched, particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.
Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.
**** Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer or sold with the apparatus. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/ apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as if the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, or if the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
This product may contain lead and mercury. Disposal of these materials may be regulated due to environmental considerations. For disposal or recycling information, please contact your local authorities or the Electronic Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org).
Damage Requiring Service – The appliance should be serviced by qualified service personnel when: A. The power supply cord or the plug has been damaged; B. Objects have fallen or liquid has been spilled into the appliance; C. The appliance has been exposed to rain; D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in performance; E. The appliance has been dropped or the enclosure damaged.
Tilt/Stability – All televisions must comply with recommended international global safety standards for tilt and stability properties of their cabinet design.

Note: For coding files, there are many kinds of nonstandard coding methods, so this system can not be guaranteed to support the file formats using any coding method.
Frequently Asked Questions:

Under the following conditions, this system cannot decode the file and the file cannot be played normally:
-The parameters of the file, such as the pixel of the picture, code rate of audio and video file, the sampling rate of audio file, exceed the limit of the system;
-The format of the file is not matched or the file is harmed.
Hot-plug: Do not disconnect when the system is reading or transmitting data, avoid damaging the system or the device.
Pay attention to the power supply of the device when you are using a mobile hard disk or a digital camera. If the power supply is not sufficient or not stable, you may encounter problems during operating or can not operate at all. In this case, please restart the device, or unplug the device and plug it in again, and ensure that its power supply is normal.
The system supports standard USB devices, such as standard U-disks, MP3 players, mobile hard disks, etc.
For obtaining better audio and video quality, suggests using an external device that accords with the USB standards.
When playing the video with a high compression ratio, these phenomenons, such as picture standstill and menu long time response, are normal.
Some USB device with power supply, such as large size hard disk, MP4, etc., suggests using it with power to avoid electric power shortage.

Other Information

Troubleshooting

Most problems you encounter with your TV can be corrected by consulting the following troubleshooting list.
No picture, no sound

Check if the fuse or circuit breaker is working.
Plug another electrical device into the outlet to make sure it is working or turned on.
The power plug is in bad contact with the outlet.
Check the signal source.

No color

Change the color system.
Adjust the saturation.
Try another channel. The black-white program may be received.

The remote control does not work

Change the batteries.
Batteries are not installed correctly.
The main power is not connected.

No picture, normal sound

Adjust the brightness and contrast.
Broadcasting failure may happen.

Normal picture, no sound

Press the Vol+ button to increase volume.
Volume is set to mute, press the mute button to restore sound.
Change the sound system.
Broadcasting failure may happen.

Unorderly ripples on the picture
It is usually caused by local interference, such as cars, daylight lamps, and hair driers. Adjust the antenna to minimize the interference.
Snowy dots and interference
If the antenna is located in the fringe area of a television signal where the signal is weak, the picture may be marred by dots. When the signal is extremely weak, it may be necessary to install a special antenna to improve the reception.

Adjust the position and orientation of the indoor/outdoor antenna.
Check the connection of the antenna.
Fine-tune the channel.
Try another channel. Broadcasting failure may happen.

Note: The contents of this manual are for reference only and may differ from the actual product. Please refer to the actual model for details.
Ignition
Black spots or horizontal streaks appear, or the picture flutters or drifts. This is usually caused by interference from the car ignition systems, neon lamps, electric drills, or other electrical appliances.
Ghost
Ghosts are caused by the television signal following two paths. One is the direct path, and the other is reflected from tall buildings, hills, or other objects. Changing the direction or position of the antenna may improve the reception.
Radio frequency interference
This interference produces moving ripples or diagonal streaks, and in some cases, loss of contrast in the picture. Find out and remove the radio interference source.
If the TV is crashed

Press the Power button to turn off the TV, then press the Power button again to reset the TV.
Unplug the power cord, then press the Power button to reset the TV.

Note: If these 2 methods can not be resolved, please contact the after- sales to solve.

Base Installation

To fix the double support base on the unit with screws, the installation is completed.
