For your own safety
For your own safety and in order to avoid
unnecessarily damaging your TV set, please
read and observe the following safety
instructions:
• This TV set is designed exclusively for
receiving and reproducing audio and visual
(AV) signals.
• It is designed for the home or office and
may not be used in rooms with high
humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or a high
concentration of dust (e.g. workshops).
If the unit is used in the open air ensure
that it is protected against moisture (rain,
dripping or splashing water, or dew). Do not
place containers filled with water, such as
vases, on the TV set. High moisture and dust
concentrations produce creep currents in
the set which can lead to danger of electric
shock or fire.
The manufacturer’s warranty is only valid
for use of the TV set in the specified
permissible environment.
• This set may only be connected to a power
supply with the voltage and frequency
specified on the rating plate using the
enclosed power cable. The wrong voltages
can damage the set.
• If the set is moved from a cold environment
to a warm room, condensation forms on all
parts of the set. Moisture produces creep
currents in the set which can cause a fire. In
this case, you should leave the set for a
reasonable time to acclimatize (when the
condensation on the screen has evaporated)
before switching it on.
• Like every piece of electronic equipment,
your TV needs air for cooling. Obstructing
the air supply to the set can cause fires. The
air vents on the back of the TV set must
always be kept free. Do not leave
newspapers or cloths lying on the TV set.
The air supply is also impaired when the TV
set is placed on a blanket or a thick pile
carpet.
If the TV set is placed in a cabinet or on a
shelf, at least 5 cm clearance at the sides
and at least 10 cm at the top must be left to
allow air to circulate.
Stand the TV set in a place where it is not
exposed to direct sunlight or additional
heating from radiators.
• Magnetic fields influence the picture quality
of the TV set. Do not place loudspeakers or
other magnetic sources immediately next to
the TV set.
• Avoid dropping metal objects, needles,
paper clips, liquids, wax or similar into the
air vents at the back of the set. This causes
short circuiting of the set and could start a
fire. If anything should get inside the set,
switch it off immediately, pull out the plug
and call the after-sales service to check it.
Do not place vases filled with water, lighted
candles etc. on the top of the TV set.
