Frame TV Sensor Tips

  • Do not block the sensor at the front of the TV. The motion sensor as well as the brightness and colour tone of the screen can be affected.
  • The performance of the sensor may vary depending on the TV installation and operating environment.
  • The screen brightness and colour may be affected depending on the colour of the bottom of the TV.
  • In an environment where special light sources other than standard light sources (halogen, fluorescent) are applied, the sensor may deviate in motion recognition, depending on the positions, types, and number of the light sources.
  • If the surroundings of the TV are too dark or bright, the screen brightness may be limited or the sensor may not work normally.
  • If the TV is installed too high or low, the sensor may not work normally.
  • The motion sensor may sense motion from a flashing LED, a pet dog, a car moving outside the window, or other condition to start operation.
  • Depending on the Auto Power Off function settings, the TV may turn off when there is no user input in Art mode, such as inputs from the remote control.
  • Sleep Timer, Off Timer and Screen Saver functions are disabled during Art Mode.
