Warning regarding basic use

Cautions regarding use in high and low temperature environments

When the TV is used in a low temperature space (e.g., room, office), the picture may leave trails or appear slightly delayed. This is not
a malfunction, and the TV will recover when the temperature returns to normal.
Do not leave the TV in a hot or cold location. Also, do not leave the TV in a location exposed to direct sunlight or near a heater, as this
may cause the cabinet to deform and the LCD panel to malfunction.
Storage temperature: e 5 °C to e 35 °C.
Devices connected to the protective earthing of the building installation through the MAINS connection or through other devices with a
connection to protective earthing and to a television distribution system using coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire
hazard. Connection to a television distribution system therefore has to be provided through a device providing electrical isolation within a
certain frequency range (galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).
NOTE
For requirements in Norway and Sweden, the requirements for isolation are also relevant for devices that can be connected to
television distribution systems.
