Always unplug the TV from the power outlet before cleaning.

Your Android TV may receive software updates periodically. Ensure your TV is connected to the internet to receive these updates, which can improve performance and add new features. You can usually check for updates in the TV's settings menu.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your TV, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

  • No Power:
    Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the TV and the electrical outlet. Ensure the outlet is functioning. Try pressing the power button on the TV itself, not just the remote.
  • No Picture/Sound:
    Verify that the correct input source is selected. Check all cable connections (HDMI, antenna). If using an external device, ensure it is powered on and functioning correctly. For broadcast channels, perform a channel scan.
  • Remote Control Not Working:
    Check the batteries in the remote control and replace them if necessary. Ensure there are no obstructions between the remote and the TV's IR sensor.
  • Network/Internet Connection Issues:
    Ensure your Wi-Fi router is on and working. Reconnect to the Wi-Fi network in the TV's settings. If using an Ethernet cable, ensure it is properly connected. Restart your router and the TV.
  • Smart TV Apps Not Loading/Crashing:
    Ensure the TV's software is up to date. Clear the cache for the problematic app in the TV's application settings. If the issue persists, try uninstalling and reinstalling the app.
  • Picture Quality Issues:
    Adjust picture settings (brightness, contrast, sharpness, color) in the TV menu. Ensure the input source is providing a high-quality signal.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, contact TCL customer support.
