TCL P81K (01) PDF MANUAL

To enjoy all smart features and services on your TCL Google TV, a free Google account, a free TCL account, and a reliable broadband internet connection, are required.

Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage matches the voltage indicated on the identification sticker located at the back of your set. Where the mains plug, AC inlet or an appliance coupler is used as disconnect device, it shall remain readily operable.

The TV set’s components are sensitive to heat. The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius. Do not cover the vents at the back or sides of the TV set. Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation. Install the appliance away from any source of heat (fireplace, etc.) or appliances creating strong magnetic or electric fields.

Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should not exceed 75% humidity. Moving the set from a cold place to a warm one can cause condensation on the screen. Let the condensation evaporate before switching the TV set on again.

If you are not going to be watching the TV for a lengthy period of time, switch it off completely by removing the plug from the mains power socket.

During thunderstorms, it is recommended that you disconnect the TV set from the mains and aerial so that it is not affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it. For this reason, keep the mains and aerial sockets accessible so they can be disconnected, if necessary.

Unplug the TV set immediately if you notice it giving off a smell of burning or smoke. You must never, under any circumstances, open the TV set yourself, as you run the risk of an electric shock in doing so.

The apparatus shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing and no objects filled with liquids, such as vases shall be placed on the apparatus.

Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed) shall not be exposed to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other open flames away from this product at all times.

To prevent injury, this apparatus must be securely attached to the floor/wall in accordance with the installation instructions.

To reduce the risk of RF exposure, the use distance of this apparatus should be at least 100cm.

If an outside antenna or cable system is connected to the product, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded by a skilled person so as to provide some protection against voltage surges and built-up static charges.

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 being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.

Square within a Square Symbol: Equipment with this symbol is a Class II or double insulated electrical appliance. It has been designed in such a way that it does not require a safety connection to electrical earth. Equipment without this symbol is a Class I electrical appliance. It shall be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.

Flame Symbol: To prevent the spread of fire, keep candles or other open flames away from this product at all times.

Triangle with Lightning Bolt Symbol: This symbol indicates that high voltage is present inside. It is dangerous to make any kind of contact with any internal part of this product.

TV screen: The TV screen used in this product is made of glass. Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impacted upon by other objects. The TV screen is a very high technology product, giving you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few nonactive pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red. This does not affect the performance of your product.

Care: Use a glass-cleaning product to clean the screen and a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean the rest of the set.

Important: Using strong detergents, alcohol-based and abrasive products may damage the screen.

Dust the vents at the back and sides regularly. Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based products could damage the TV set. If an object or liquid enters the appliance, unplug it immediately and have it checked by an authorized engineer. Never open the appliance yourself since this may put you at risk or damage the appliance.

This apparatus meets ESD performance criteria. In case the apparatus does not recover in Ethernet connection mode or USB playing mode due to electrostatic discharge, user intervention is required.

Bluetooth® technology (if available in your TV) uses 2.4GHz frequency thus close proximity to Wi-Fi access points, routers or microwave ovens might interfere with Bluetooth audio streaming. If you face interruptions in audio reception, you should restart your Bluetooth device to find frequency with less interferences and if you continue to face issues you should move closer to TV or increase space between TV and source of interferences.

Warning: This operation requires at least two people depending on your TV dimension.

To ensure a safe installation, observe the following safety notes:

Check that the wall can support the weight of the TV set and wall mount assembly.
