For your own safety

For your own safety and in order to avoid unnecessarily damaging your TV set, please read and observe the following safety instructions:

•This TV set is designed exclusively for receiving and reproducing audio and visual (AV) signals.

•It is designed for the home or office and may not be used in rooms with high humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or a high concentration of dust (e.g. workshops).

If the unit is used in the open air ensure that it is protected against moisture (rain, dripping or splashing water, or dew). Do not place containers filled with water, such as vases, on the TV set. High moisture and dust concentrations produce creep currents in the set which can lead to danger of electric shock or fire.

The manufacturer’s warranty is only valid for use of the TV set in the specified permissible environment.

•This set may only be connected to a power supply with the voltage and frequency specified on the rating plate using the enclosed power cable. The wrong voltages can damage the set.

•If the set is moved from a cold environment to a warm room, condensation forms on all parts of the set. Moisture produces creep currents in the set which can cause a fire. In this case, you should leave the set for a reasonable time to acclimatize (when the condensation on the screen has evaporated) before switching it on.

•Like every piece of electronic equipment, your TV needs air for cooling. Obstructing the air supply to the set can cause fires. The air vents on the back of the TV set must always be kept free. Do not leave newspapers or cloths lying on the TV set. The air supply is also impaired when the TV set is placed on a blanket or a thick pile carpet.

If the TV set is placed in a cabinet or on a

10 cm

5 cm

shelf, at least 5 cm clearance at the sides and at least 10 cm at the top must be left to allow air to circulate.

Stand the TV set in a place where it is not exposed to direct sunlight or additional heating from radiators.

•Magnetic fields influence the picture quality of the TV set. Do not place loudspeakers or other magnetic sources immediately next to the TV set.

•Avoid dropping metal objects, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax or similar into the air vents at the back of the set. This causes short circuiting of the set and could start a fire. If anything should get inside the set, switch it off immediately, pull out the plug and call the after-sales service to check it.

Do not place vases filled with water, lighted candles etc. on the top of the TV set.
