Safety instructions

ENGLISH
As a rule once screen burns have occurred they cannot be reversed.
To avoid or reduce screen burns please take heed of the following directions and recommendations:
D
during the first 100 operating hours mainly moving images or frequently changing still images should be displayed as a
full screen
D
use your plasma TV on a screen-filling format (16:9)
D
always activate the screen saver when using it as a PC display
D
display moving images as far as possible
D
always switch off the plasma TV when it is not being used
D
reduce as much as possible the contrast and brightness
D
wherever possible display images with lots of colours and colour shades.
Unfavourable conditions can cause your plasma TV to hum. The humming generally comes from the mains voltage supply and
can occur through the connection of different earth conductors. You can provide a remedy by putting a so-called sheath current
filter between the incoming aerial lead and the aerial input socket on the plasma TV. Sheath current filters are available in the
retail trade in the form of a small inline plug.
For technical reasons the unit can generate noise inside itself. However, this must not exceed the value specified in the appliance
specification.
If your plasma TV is connected to an external aerial, the latter must be earthed as protection against electric shocks and static
charging. The earthing must comply with the valid regulations.
For ergonomic reasons we recommend that you avoid the use of red or blue fonts or symbols on dark backgrounds. On account
of the poor contrast such a display causes poor legibility and causes early eye fatigue. Therefore please use displays that are
rich in contrast, e.g. black font on a white background.
To avoid aching eyes and obtain an optimized viewing distance, the distance from the unit should be five to six times the display’s
diagonal dimension. In your television room it should be so light that you could also read. The contrast is lost with too much bright-
ness. Too little light strains the eyes due to the alternation between light and dark on the display.
When connecting external loudspeakers take heed of the technical specifications of the loudspeaker output. If the loudspeakers
are insufficiently dimensioned, the loudspeakers and/or integrated amplifiers can be ruined.
Waste disposal
If you want to dispose this unit, do not mix it with general household waste. There is a separate collection system for
used electronic products in accordance with legislation that requires proper treatment, recovery and recycling.
This unit and its packaging have been produced largely from materials that can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly
manner and that can be properly recycled.
After use the unit will be taken back for reuse or recycling, provided that it is handed back in a condition that corresponds to its
use having been in compliance with the intended use.
Any non-recyclable parts of the unit will be disposed of in the proper manner.
If you have any questions about disposal, please contact the place where you purchased the unit or our service department.
Cleaning
Before you start any cleaning, turn off the unit and unplug the mains plug from the plug receptacle.
Cleaning the plasma TV
Use a glass cleaning product with a soft cloth for cleaning the plasma TV. Do not use any abrasives!
Cleaning the casing
Do not use any chemical solvents or cleaning agents for cleaning the casing, otherwise the surface of the unit could be damaged.
If you clean the surface of the casing with a wet cloth, drops of water can get into the unit, which will cause malfunctions.
Use a vacuum cleaner with a soft brush attachment for cleaning the ventilation apertures.
