Safety
Disconnect mains plug when :
– the red light below the TV screen is flashing continuously.
– a bright white line is displayed across the screen.
– cleaning the TV screen. Never use abrasive cleaning agents. Use a slightly damp chamois
leather or soft cloth.
– there is a lightning storm.
– the set is left unattended for a prolonged period of time.
Useful Tips
• Do not place your TV set under direct sunlight or heat.
• Avoid placing your set (e.g., near the window) where it is likely to be exposed to rain
or water.
• Do not leave your set on standby mode for a prolonged period of time. Switch off set
to allow it to be demagnetised. A demagnetised set supports good picture quality.
• Do not shift or move the set around when it is switched on. Uneveness in colour in
some parts of the screen may occur.
• Never attempt to repair a defective TV yourself. Always consult a skilled service person.
