For your safety
For your own safety and to prevent unnecessary damage to your device, read and comply with the following safety instructions:
Proper use and environmental conditions
This TV set is designed exclusively for reception and reproduction of video and audio signals and is designed for living rooms or office facilities, and should not be operated in rooms with high humidity, such as a bathroom, or sauna, or where there is a high concentration of dust (e.g. workshops). The manufacturer‘s warranty is only valid for use in the specified permissible environment.
If the set is used outdoors ensure that it is protected against moisture (rain, splashing water, or dew). High humidity and dust concentrations cause leak currents in the device, which can cause a shock hazard if the device is touched, or a fire.
If you have brought the set into a
warm environment from the cold, then wait for about 1 hour before switching it on to avoid formation of condensation.
Do not place any objects filled with liquid or burning candles on the device. Protect the set against dripping and splashing water.
Never place the TV set in a position where it is exposed to vibrations. This can lead to material over- load.
Transporting
Only transport the device in vertical position. Grasp the device on the upper and lower edges of the housing. Never set the TV down on the protruding control unit on the bottom of the TV set. This could damage the control unit.
If the set has to be put down during packing/unpacking, place the TV set with the entire front surface lying flat on a soft underlay such as a blanket or the felt from the packing material.
The LCD screen is made of glass or plastic and can break if not handled properly.
If the LCD screen is damaged and liquid crystal escapes, wear rubber gloves when moving the device. In the case of skin contact immediately wash thoroughly with water.
Power supply
The wrong voltage can damage the set. This equipment must only be connected to a mains power supply which has the same voltage and frequency as that specified on the rating plate; use the mains cable provided. The mains plug of the TV set must be easily accessible so that the device can be disconnected from the mains at any time. When you unplug the mains plug, do not pull on the cable rather pull on the plug housing. The cable in the mains plug could be damaged and cause a short circuit the next time it is plugged in.
Lay out the mains cable in such a manner that it cannot be damaged. The mains cable must not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, stepped on or exposed to chemicals; The latter also applies for the entire equip- ment. A mains cable with damaged insulation can cause electrical shock and is a fire hazard.
Air circulation and high temperatures
The vent slots on the rear panel of the set must always be kept free. Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the TV.
Ensure that there is at least 10 |

|
cm free space on the sides and |

above the set for air circulation, |

Like any electronic device, your TV set requires air for cooling. Obstruction of the air circula- tion can cause fires.
The set is suitable for different installation solutions. See the
instructions for assembly for the different installation solutions.
Stand the TV set with the table or floor stand only on a level, sturdy, horizontal base. Particularly ensure that the set does not protrude to the front when placed in or on pieces of furniture.
Set up the device where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and where it is not exposed to additional warming through heating elements.
Prevent metal items, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax, or similar items, from getting into the interior of the device through the vent slots in the rear panel. Such objects can cause short circuits in the set, which could possibly cause a fire.
If something should get into the interior of the set then immediately unplug the mains plug of the device and contact customer service for more information.
