LEAVE ROOM FOR VENTILATION

AVOID HEAT, WATER, DIRECT

SUNLIGHT.

Do not place audio loudspeakers near to television. The magnets in the speakers could cause patches of colour to appear

on the screen.

2. CARE OF THE EQUIPMENT

To ensure your personal safety and the efficient operation of your equipment, please follow the advice given below :

Télévision sets need ventilation to avoid overheating which can cause damage to the components. The ventilation slots at the back of the set should not be covered up by curtains, small covers, newspapers, etc… There must be enough room in built-in cabinets to allow for the cooling air to circulate. The set should not be placed directly next to heating.

This appliance is designed for use in dry areas. If occasionally you should whish to operate it outdoors (for example, on the balcony or veranda), you must insure that it is protected against all forms of moisture (dew, rain, splashed water).

A cold set may be switched on in a warm room only after any condensation which may happen to be on the screen has evaporated. Never remove the cabinet back. Have your aerial installed by an authorised dealer or service technician.

In the evenings, after the TV programmes, or in case of a

 

prolonged absence, it is recommended that the appliance be

 

switched off using the main power switch. Remove the power

 

plug from the wall outlet under the following conditions :

GB

1. During a thunderstorm. It is also recommended that you

 

disconnect the aerial plug.

 

2. If you find a burning smell or smoke emerging from the set.

 

Additional information :

 

Your TV set is adequately shielded to prevent emission of X-rays.

 

The acceleration voltage does not exceed the maximum value of

 

33 kV.

 

Work by non-qualified technicians, modification of the high

 

voltage setting or the replacement of the tube with a model that

 

does not comply with the manufacturer’s specifications may lead

 

to a considerable increase in X-ray radiation.

 

A set changed in any of the above ways no longer satisfies the

 

initial specifications and should not be put back into service.

 

The screen should be cleaned with liquid glass cleaner.

•Never use abrasive cleaners.

•To clean the front and the cabinet of your equipment use a soft cloth dipped in mild detergent. The use of strong solvents such as white spirits or alcohol based products could damage your equipment.

•Clean the vents on the rear panel of your set regularly.

3. DEMAGNETISATION

The earth’s magnetic field may have an effect on your television by causing patches of colour to appear on the screen. If this happens :

•Switch off the television with the on-off button ;

•Wait a few minutes and then press again to switch on.

This allows the screen to be demagnetised automatically. If patches of colour are still visible repeat the procedure.
