Safety directions

This device meets the relevant safety stipulations for audio, video and TV appliances.

If you have any questions as to whether you can install the appliance in the envisaged environment, please contact your place of purchase or our help desk.

DThe display surface of the TV set is sensitive to pressure and scratching. So treat the display surface with care in order to avoid lasting damage (newton’s rings, scrat- ches).

DIf the device is brought into its operating room from cold surroundings, condensation can occur. Wait until the device has reached room temperature and is absolutely dry before you put it into operation.

DTake note of the directions for ambient conditions in sec- tion when you are installing the set and before operating the set.

DThe supply air and exhaust air openings on the device must be kept absolutely free to ensure sufficient ventila- tion.

DThe device will set itself automatically to a mains voltage in the range of 100 V to 240 V. Ensure that the local mains voltage does not exceed and is not less than this range.

DThis device may be connected to an earthed mains outlet only.

DMake sure that the plug socket on the set or the mains safety outlet of the building’s electrical system allows free access.

DThe On-Off switch does not disconnect the set from the mains voltage. For complete disconnection from the mains voltage you must pull out the mains plug.

DLay the leads so that they do not present a danger (danger of stumbling) and are not damaged. Take heed of the corresponding information in the section Preparations when connecting the set.

DDuring a thunderstorm you must neither connect nor remove any aerials or data transmission leads.

DTake care that no objects (e.g. jewellery chains, paper clips etc.) or liquids are allowed to get inside the set (danger of an electric shock, short circuit).

DDo not put any vessels that are filled with liquids, e.g. vases, on the set. The set is not waterproof! Protect the set against spray water (rain, sea water).

DIn emergencies (e.g. damage to the housing, controls or mains power lead or if there is ingress of liquids or foreign objects) turn off the set immediately, pull out the mains plug and contact your place of purchase or our Help Desk.

DThe set must be disposed of as special waste in accor- dance with your local waste disposal regulations. The safety regulations that apply to luminous materials have to be taken into account for handling and disposal pur- poses.

VQ40-1: The backlight of the LCD/plasma TV contains mercury. The safety regulations that apply to fluorescent tubes have to be taken into account for handling and disposal purposes.

DRepairs to the set may be carried out only by authorized skilled personnel. Considerable dangers can occur for the user (electric shock, danger of fire) as a result of unauthorized opening and improper repairs.

DAdjust only the screen resolutions and display refresh rates as specified in the section ”Technical Specifica- tions”. If you adjust any other values, the screen can get damaged. If in doubt, consult your place of purchase or our Help Desk.

DFor PC operation use a screen saver with moving pictu- res and activate the power management for your display to avoid screen ”burns” being caused by still pictures.

DKeep these operating instructions together with the set. If you pass the set on to any third parties, please pass on the operating instructions as well.

Important basic principles for use

The LCD/plasma TV purchased by you meets the highest quality requirements in this segment and has been checked for pixel defects. Despite taking the greatest care during pro- duction of these units, for technological reasons it cannot be excluded absolutely that there are some pixels with defects. We request your understanding for the fact that such defects, provided that they are within the limits specified by the standard, cannot be considered to be as an appliance defect in the terms of the warranty.

If used for a long period of time as a PC screen, shadows can occur on the screen as with any other TV set. This phenom- enon with LCD/plasma screens can be reduced by heeding the following points:

Ddo no display a still picture for a long period of time D use your display in full screen format (16:9)

D activate the screen saver

D display moving images as far as possible

D always switch off the display when it is not being used D reduce the contrast and brightness as much as possible.

Unfavourable conditions can cause your LCD/plasma TV to hum. The humming generally comes from the mains voltage supply and can occur through the connection of different earth conductors. You can provide a remedy by placing a so-called sheath current filter between the incoming antenna lead and the antenna input socket on the display. Sheath current filters are available in the retail trade in the form of a small inline plug.

If your LCD/plasma TV is connected to an external antenna, the latter must be earthed as protection against electric shocks and static charging. The earthing must comply with the valid regulations.

If using it as a PC screen, we recommend for ergonomic rea- sons that you avoid the use of red and blue fonts or symbols against dark backgrounds. On account of the poor contrast
