2. Safety notes
With plasma displays, there is always the risk that an image may be "burnt" into the screen if, for exam- ple, a static picture (such as a freeze- frame display of a TV picture, a Tele- text page, a PC image or a signal from a DVD player) is displayed for a long period. This results in differences in the brightness between illuminated and inactive pixels which can become visible as soon as a different picture is displayed.
In order to prevent permanent damage to the display, you should thus always take care that static pictures are not displayed for long periods. Wherever possible, make use of any
•Place the TV set on a solid surface which is capable of bearing the weight!
•If you bring a cold TV set into a warm room, wait until any condensation has eva- porated before switching it on.
•The TV set is intended for use in dry rooms. If, in exceptional cases, you want to use it outdoors, take care that it is not exposed to moisture (rain, splashwater, dew).
•TV sets need sufficient cooling to prevent them from overheating. Ensure that the slots in the rear cover are not blocked by cur- tains, doily, newspapers, etc. Also keep the slots on the bottom of the set free so that cool air can enter the set.
•If you install the TV set in a wall cabinet, ensure that there is sufficient space around it to permit the circulation of cooling air.
•Do not position the TV set in the immediate vicinity of a radiator or other heater, since this could cause it to overheat.
•Do not place
-burning candles
- vases, etc. containing liquids
on or above the TV set. Hot wax or other liquids which enter the set will destroy its electronic components. In such cases, safe operation of the set is no longer guaran- teed.
•Thunderstorms can damage electrical devi- ces. Lightning hitting overhead power cables or the antenna can cause considera- ble damage to the set, even if it is switched off. If there is a risk of a thunderstorm, you should remove the power cable from the wall outlet and disconnect the antenna cable from the outlet or from the TV set.
•Only suitably trained persons may open the set and/or carry out repairs.
CAUTION: RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCKS!
If repairs should be necessary, please consult your local dealer.
•Always switch off the TV set with the mains switch before cleaning it!
•Do not point the remote control into your eyes and press any keys. The infrared radi- ation can damage your eyes!
•Do not use rechargeable batteries in the remote control. Use only two dry batteries of the type LR03/AM4/AAA 1.5V Micro.
•The TV set is intended only for the reception and display of picture and sound signals.
•The TV set may be operated only from a mains voltage of 220 – 240VAC ˜, 50Hz.
