 TV can be placed in standby mode in order to reduce the power consumption. And TV should be

turned off if it will not be watched for some time, as this will reduce energy consumption.

 The energy consumed during use can be significantly reduced if the level of brightness of the

picture is reduced, and this will reduce the overall running cost.

NOTE



Do not step on the glass stand or subject it to any impact. It may break, causing possible injury

from fragments of glass, or the TV may fall.
