Installation

Install the TV set in a properly ventilated room.

Do not install this product on an unstable cart, stand or table.

Do not place it on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surfaces.

Do not install the TV set in an enclosed area unless proper ventilation is provided.

Do not rest objects on the power cord and avoid placing power cord near high traffic areas.

Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords as this can result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

To reduce the risk of screen burning, do not display still images for extended periods of time. Examples of still images include still computer and video game images, logos, pictures, text and images displayed in 4:3 format.

When displaying tables, graphics, etc.:

-Decrease the contrast and brightness of the picture as much as possible.

-Display pictures presenting many colours and grading of colours (photographs).

-Adjust contrast to obtain the least noticeable transition between dark and light areas (white characters on a black background).

If the picture displayed is in any way abnormal, turn off the set using the main power switch located at the back and disconnect it from the electric outlet.

This TV set must be installed and used in compliance with this document. It should not be used for other purposes, including industrial purposes.

Screen burns are not covered by the warranty.

The plasma panel is a very high technology product, giving you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.This does not affect the performance of your product.

Care and maintenance

Always disconnect the TV set from the mains supply before any cleaning operation. Clean the screen with a glass-cleaning product. Never use abrasive products.

Clean the front and cabinet using a soft cloth impregnated with a neutral detergent. Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based products could damage the set.

Regularly dust the air vents located at the back.
