1. TO TURN ON
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.
To ensure your personal safety and the efficient operation of your
equipment, please follow the advice given below :
Television 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 wish 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 :
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.
2. CARE OF THE EQUIPMENT
3. DEMAGNETISATION
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.
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.
