Bought a brand new, state-of-the-art television set to complete your entertainment area? Well, at AVHD, we understand how much money you have invested in it. So it is just important to know simple upkeep and care tips to keep your television looking good and working well. Below are a few you should keep in mind:

• Before the operation, thoroughly read the user manual at least once. Even though it might be boring and tedious, do it once. This would give you instructions for complete usage of the product, explaining all the features and ways to tackle minor problems.
• Before installation, observe the right temperature suited for your television. It is important to know that televisions should not be installed in places with very high ambient temperatures. Its lifespan will be considerably reduced if done so. Instead, keep the TV in a relatively less humid atmosphere with fewer temperature fluctuations.
• Plug the television to a socket with adequate power supply. If you are residing in an area where there are a lot of power fluctuations and frequent power failures, make sure you connect your television to a stabilizer so that it won’t be harmed by current supply factors.
• Keep the television in a dust-free surrounding. Dust and grime can induce short circuit, causing non-recoverable damage to the screen.
• Follow proper cleaning procedures. If you want to clean the screen, use a spray and use it in small quantities. Remember that to avoid short circuits, liquid substances should never be spilled on the device at any cost.
• Do not poke your screen with sharp objects. The screen surface is made of delicate material and should not be poked with sharp objects. It is very vulnerable and such damage can create permanent problems with your television.
• Do not try to open or service the device by yourself under any circumstances. Always ask the experts first. As with any electrical device, there are a lot of risks involved. Your television contains sensitive pieces of electronic equipment, and they require special training to disassemble and repair.
• Switch off and unplug your TV if you are not going to use it for a long time. Aside from reducing energy consumption, unplugging your TV when not in use can help avoid overheating.
