Troubleshooting

In TV / HDMI input, press the button on the remote control three times to display the model name and serial number on the screen.

Cannot control the TV with the remote control.

• Check if anything such as tape has been placed over the receiver.
• Check if there is any obstacle between the product and the remote control.
• Replace the batteries with new fresh ones.

No image display and no sound is produced.

• Check if the product is turned on.
• Check if the power cord is connected to a wall outlet.
• Check if there is a problem in the wall outlet by connecting other products.

The TV turns off suddenly

• Check the power control settings. The power supply may be interrupted.
• Check if the auto-off function is activated in the settings menu.
• The auto-off function may have worked. This product is equipped with an auto-off function that automatically turns off the power if the remote control is not used for 15 minutes without an input signal.

Abnormal Display

• If the product feels cold to the touch, there may be a small “flicker” when it is turned on. This is normal, there is nothing wrong with product.

• This panel is an advanced product that contains millions of pixels. You may see tiny black dots and/or brightly colored dots (white, red, blue or green) at a size of 1 ppm on the panel. This does not indicate a malfunction and does not affect the performance and reliability of the product. This phenomenon also occurs in third-party products and is not subject to exchange or refund.

• You may find different brightness and color of the panel depending upon your viewing position(left/right/
  top/down). This phenomenon occurs due to the characteristic of the panel. It is not related with the product performance, and it is not malfunction.

• Avoid touching the screen or holding your finger(s) against it for long periods of time. Doing so may produce some temporary distortion effects on the screen

Generated Sound

• Cracking noise A cracking noise that occurs when watching or turning off the TV is generated by plastic thermal contraction due to temperature and humidity. This noise is common for products where thermal deformation is required.
• Electrical circuit humming/panel buzzing A low level noise is generated from a high-speed switching circuit, which supplies a large amount of current to operate a product. It varies depending upon the product. This generated sound does not affect the performance and reliability of the product.

The TV does not turn on continuously due to Always Ready mode operation or does not automatically turn on by sensor.
(Depending upon model)

• The motion sensor is located on the bottom center of the TV.
• The motion sensor is only supported by some models.
• If there is a foreign substance on the motion sensor, it may not work properly.
• If the environment around the TV is too bright or too dark, the motion sensor may not work properly.
• Obstacles in front of the TV may affect the detection function of the motion sensor.
• It can operate by recognizing changes in lighting around the TV or movement of objects (pets/robot vacuum cleaners, etc.).
• To stop using the Always Ready mode in → [ ] → [General] → [Always Ready] → [Enable the function], or to use only the General Always Ready mode function, you can select Enable Always Ready mode, turn off the screen, and then stop using the motion sensor in [Options]. The screen-on function with the motion sensor can be set by adjusting the performance of the sensor through the [Options] → [Motion Sensor Sensitivity] setting.
  • Make sure to wring any excess water or cleaner from the cloth.
  • Do not spray water or cleaner directly onto the TV screen.
  • Make sure to spray just enough of water or cleaner onto a dry cloth to wipe the screen.

Precautions for Protecting the OLED TV Screen

Unlike regular LED/LCDs, OLED TVs produce images that emit light for each pixel, achieving a perfect black color and delivering clear images without blurring.

Due to the nature of the organic materials used to achieve high-resolution image quality, OLED displays generally experience image retention on the screen, which can be a persistent phenomenon. This phenomenon is observed in all OLED panels, and although recommended picture modes can minimize image retention, current technology cannot completely prevent this from occurring.

Displaying the same image for a long time or repeatedly displaying the same image can cause image retention on the screen, which is a common phenomenon in OLED panel products due to the nature of the product. This product has a built-in screen protection feature. Avoid displaying images that are likely to cause image retention, and follow the recommendations.

Images that are likely to cause image retention

• Images with black areas on the top and bottom and/or the left and right sides of the screen.
• Images whose aspect ratio is 4:3 or 21:9.
• Images that are fixed for a long time, such as channel number, station logo, game console icon, set-top box menu, etc.
• Other fixed screen images or repeatedly displayed images.

Running [Pixel Cleaning] to Protect the OLED TV Screen
The OLED TV is equipped with a pixel cleaning feature to check the status of the screen by itself and prevent image retention that leaves an image on a screen. This feature automatically calculates the optimal execution time based on the accumulated viewing time and is automatically executed when the TV is turned off.

A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as:

• ALWAYS use cabinets or stands or mounting methods recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
• ALWAYS use furniture that can safely support the television set.
• ALWAYS ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• ALWAYS educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
• ALWAYS route cords and cables connected to your television so they cannot be tripped over, pulled or grabbed.
• NEVER place a television set in an unstable location.
• NEVER place the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
• NEVER place the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.
• NEVER place items that might tempt children to climb, such as toys and remote controls, on the top of the television or furniture on which the television is placed.

If the existing television set is going to be retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
