About this manual
This manual is common to several TV
models. Therefore, the model you bought
may not support some of the functions
or settings described hereinafter.
About set-up
To ensure your own safety and safe operation
of the equipment, observe the following
instructions thoroughly.
TV sets require sufficient ventilation to
prevent their components from overheating,
which will cause failure. Do not block the
ventilation openings at the rear. If you place
your TV set in a specific unit, make sure
there is enough space for unhindered air
circulation. Do not place the TV set in the
close vicinity of a heater.
The TV set has been designed for use in dry
rooms. Should you exceptionally operate it in
the open air (example: on the balcony, in the
veranda or tent), you must absolutely protect it
against moisture (dew, rain, splash water).
Prior to put up into operation a cold TV set in
a warm room, you should wait until the
possibly misted-up screen has dried by itself.
In no case should you dismantle your TV set
yourself.
By the end of your TV evening or when away
from home for a longer period, we recommend
that you turn off the TV set with the
On/Off-switch.
Even when the On/Off-switch is in the
Off-position, your TV set is not fully
disconnected from the mains. To deenergize the
set completely, the mains plug must be pulled out.
In the following cases, we recommend that
you pull out the mains connector:
1. During a thunderstorm. In such a case, it is
advisable that you also disconnect the TV
set from the aerial socket.
2. When odour or smoke emanates from the set.
Further information:
The TV set shielding is sufficient to prevent
X-radiation to the exterior. The accelerator
voltage does not exceed 26 kV.
Any operation performed by a non skilled
person, change of high voltage or replacement
of the teletube by a model not complying with
the manufacturer specification are likely to
cause considerable increase in X-radiation.
A TV set modified in such a way no longer
complies with the manufacturer specification
and shall not be put in operation again.
About cleaning
The screen is to be cleaned with liquid glass
cleaners.
• Never use abrasive products.
• Clean the front side and the housing with a
soft cloth soaked with neutral cleaner. Do
not use solvents, such as white spirit or
alcohol-based cleaning products since they
are likely to deteriorate your equipment.
• At regular intervals, clean the ventilation
grids at the rear of the TV set.
About degaussing
The terrestrial magnetic field may have an
influence on your TV set. This influence is
revealed by the coloured spots, which appear
on the screen.
Should this be the case:
• Turn the equipment off by means of the
On/Off-switch.
• Wait about one hour before switching the
set on again.
This procedure performs automatic
degaussing of the screen. Should there still be
coloured spots on the screen, repeat the
operation.

The On/Off
switch is
either fitted
laterally or the
front side of
the set.
Do not place speakers in
close vicinity of the TV set
since the electromagnet of
the speakers may cause
coloured spots to appear on
the screen.
