Setup AND SAFETY-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note the following instructions when setting up the television set:

7This television is designed to receive and dis- play video and audio signals.

All other uses are expressly prohibited.

7The ideal viewing distance is five times the

diagonal­ screen size.

7Light falling on the screen impairs picture

quality­ .

7To ensure the device is always adequately ventilated, make sure there is sufficient space between the television set and nearby furni- ture.

7The television is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it outdoors, make sure it is pro- tected from moisture such as rain or splashing water.

Never expose the television set to moisture.

7Do not place any vessels such as vases on the television, as they may spill liquid, thus present- ing a safety risk.

7Place the television on a hard, level surface.

7Do not place any objects such as newspapers on the television or put cloth or similar items under it.

7Do not place the television close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.

7Heat build-up can be dangerous and shortens the service life of the television. For reasons of safety, have a repairman remove any dirt in the television from time to time.

7Never open the television under any circum- stances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.

7Make sure the power cord or the power sup- ply unit (if provided) are not damaged.

7Only operate the television with the power supply/power cord provided.

7Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even when the television is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the mains or the antenna. Always disconnect the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.

7Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the screen. Do not use water with soap or detergent.

7Only clean the housing of your television set with the cloth provided. Do not use water with soap or detergent.

7When deciding where to put the device, re- member that furniture is often coated with various types of varnish and plastic. Many of these contain chemicals which can corrode the feet of the device, leaving marks on the surface of the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.

7The screen of your LCD television meets the highest quality standards and has been checked for pixel faults.

Despite the great care taken in manufacturing, technological reasons make it impossible to completely discount the possibility that some pixels may be faulty.

Provided they are within the thresholds speci- fied by the DIN norm, pixel faults of this kind cannot be regarded as a defect as defined by the warranty.

7To ensure fires do not occur,

always­ keep candles and other

open flames away from the device­ .
