Safety warnings

 

 

 

General

Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket or hang the TV to the wall before all connections are made.

Place or hang the TV wherever you want, but make sure that air can circulate freely through the

ventilation slots.

Do not install the TV in a confined space such as a book case or a similar unit.

To prevent any unsafe situations, no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed in the vicinity.

Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain or water.

The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Care of the screen

Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently.

And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment.

Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen.

When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible.Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading.

TV channel logo: present a problem if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-contrast graphics are less likely to cause uneven aging of the screen;

Stock market stickers: presented at the bottom of the TV screen;

Shopping channel logos and pricing displays: bright and shown constantly or repeatedly in the same location on the TV screen.

Examples of still pictures also include logos, computer images, time display, teletext and images displayed in 4:3 mode, static images or characters, etc.

Tip: reduce contrast and brightness when viewing.

Carefully pay attention to these remarks. The warranty does not apply to damage caused by not taking into account the above mentioned warnings on stationary images.

Electric, Magnetic and Electromagnetic Fields (“EMF”)

Philips Royal Electronics manufactures and sells many products targeted at consumers, which, like any electronic apparatus, in general have the ability to emit and receive electromagnetic signals.

One of Philips’ leading Business Principles is to take all necessary health and safety measures for our products, to comply with all applicable legal requirements and to stay well within the EMF standards applicable at the time of producing the products.

Philips is committed to develop, produce and market products that cause no adverse health effects.

Philips confirms that if its products are handled properly for their intended use, they are safe to use according to scientific evidence available today.

Philips plays an active role in the development of international EMF and safety standards, enabling Philips to anticipate further developments in standardisation for early integration in its products.

Stationary images on the TV screen

A characteristic of LCD and Plasma Panels is that displaying the same image for a long time can cause a permanent after-image to remain on the screen. Normal use of the TV should involve the showing of pictures that contain constantly moving and changing images that fill the screen.

Examples of stationary images (this is not an all- inclusive list, you may encounter others in your viewing):

TV and DVD menus: listings of DVD disk content;

Black bars: when black bars appear at the left and right side of the screen, it is recommended to change to a picture format so that the picture fills the entire screen;

Pixel characteristics

Your TV display is made with high-precision technology with a high number of colour pixels. Although it has effective pixels of 99,999% or more, black dots or bright points of light (red, green or blue) may appear constantly on the screen.This is a structural property of the display (within common industry standards) and is not a malfunction.
