Safety Information

All TV’s operate on extremely high voltages. To prevent fire or electric shock, please follow the safety guidelines indicated in the blue sheet supplied.

•After transporting the projection TV directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly,

pictures may be blurred or show poor colour over portions of the picture. This is because moisture has condensed on the mirrors or lenses inside the projection TV. Let the moisture evaporate before using the projection TV.

•To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling.

•Displaying a still picture for long periods of time, for instance, when operating a video game or personal computer and viewing a programme in 16:9 mode, may damage the picture tube. To avoid this, keep the picture contrast level low.

•Clean the projection TV screen and cabinet with a soft dampened cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners. As a safety precaution, unplug the set before cleaning it.

•Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch the surface with hard objects.
