Switch-on/off and

reminder time

In the „Time settings“ menu, you can enter settings which will instruct the TV to switch itself on or off, and to display a reminder at a given time.

Switching from summer time to winter time and vice versa is carried out automatically by the teletext clock.

The switch-on time function will automatically turn on the TV at the preset time if the television is in standby mode. The switch-off time function will automatically switch it off as desired. The reminder service is intended to help you remember things which you have to do later on, for instance a telephone call. All three settings can be jointly programmed.

Example: The TV is to switch itself on at 20:00 hr, remind you of something at 21:45 hr, and switch itself off at 23.30 hr.

Explanation

The adjoining picture shows the appearance of the „Time settings“ menu when no times have been pro- grammed.

If you press the blue key, the text in the first line is dis- played on a blue background.

Now press the + or the - key to switch on the function.

Enter the desired switch-on time with the numeric keys. The function is activated after input of the last digit. Henceforth the TV set will switch itself on every day at the preprogrammed time.

When the set has switched itself on automatically, you must press any key you choose on the remote control, otherwise the set will return to standby mode after about 10 min. This is a safety precaution to ensure that the television does not stay on if you are not at home.

If you press the yellow key, the text in the second line is displayed on a yellow background.

Now press the + or the - key to switch on the function.

Enter the desired switch-off time with the numeric keys. The function is activated after input of the last digit.

The switch-on/switch-off times can be deleted with

the - + keys (function OFF).
