Environmental protection

For your safety

Repairs and accessories

Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Only have your TV device repaired or serviced by authorised television technicians.

Only use original accessories such as Loewe stands if possible (see Acces- sories on pages 68 and 69).

Supervision

Do not allow children to use the TV set without supervision or to play in the immediate vicinity of the TV set. The set could tip over, be pushed off or pulled down from the stand surface and injure someone.

Do not allow the switched-on TV set to run unattended.

Volume

Loud music can lead to ear damage. Avoid extreme volume especially over long periods and when using headphones.

Cleaning

Clean the TV set, the screen, and the remote control unit with a soft, moist, and clean cloth,only, without any aggressive or scouring cleaning agents.

Thunder storms

Pull out the mains plug and all connected antenna cables from the TV set in a thunderstorm. Overvoltage caused by lightning can damage the set via the antenna system, as well as via the mains. The mains plug and all connected antenna cables should also be pulled out during long pe- riods of absence.

Note on the LCD screen

The TV set you have purchased with LCD screen satisfies the most rigor- ous quality requirements and has been inspected relative to pixel errors. In spite of the utmost care in manufacturing the display, for technical reasons the possibility that some pixels will have defects cannot be 100% excluded. Please understand that these types of effects, as long as they are within the standard of specified limits, cannot be considered as a device defect in terms of the guarantee.

Energy consumption

Your TV set is equipped with an eco-standby power supply. In the standby mode, the power consumption drops to low power (see Technical data on page 67). If you want to save even more energy then switch the device off with the mains switch. However note that in this case, EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) data will be lost, and it may be that programmed timer recordings cannot be executed via the TV device.

If you activate the automatic dimming (see page 21), your TV picture will adapt to the ambient brightness. This reduces the power consumption of the TV set.

Packaging and box

You have made a decision to purchase a high-quality technical product with a long service life. For disposal of the packaging, in accordance with national legislation we have paid a fee to a commissioned recycler to pick up the packaging from the dealer. Nevertheless we recommend keeping the original box and packaging material on hand so that the device can be transported with optimal protection if necessary.

The set

The EU directive 2002/96/EC regulates the proper way

to recycle, handle and utilise used electronic devices.

Old electronic devices consequently must be disposed of separately. Please do not dispose of this device in normal household trash!

You may return your used set free of charge at designated recycling centres or at your specialist dealer whenever you purchase a new, comparable set. Additional details about return (also for non EU countries) are available from your local municipal authorities.

Batteries

The batteries supplied as initial equipment do not contain any pollutants such as cadmium, lead, or mercury. Used batteries should no longer be disposed of in the do- mestic waste according to the Battery Ordinance. Dispose of your batteries at no charge in the collection containers which are set up for this purpose in retail stores.
