Safety Information
WARNING
For Your Safety
For Your Safety
All TVs operate on extremely high voltages. To prevent fire or electric shock, please follow the safety
procedures indicated below.
For General Safety
•
Do not expose the set to rain or moisture.
•
Do not remove the rear cover.
•
For your protection, refer all servicing to qualified
personnel only.
For Safe Installation
•
Do not install the projection TV in hot, humid or
excessively dusty places.
•
Do not block or cover the ventilation openings. For
ventilation, leave a space of at least 10 cm all around
the set.
•
Do not install the projection TV where it may be
exposed to mechanical vibrations.
•
To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to
direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use
spot lighting directed down from the ceiling.
•
After transporting the projection TV directly from a
cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature
has changed suddenly, pictures may be blurred or
show poor colour over portions of the picture. This is
because moisture has condensed on the mirrors or
lenses inside the projection TV. Let the moisture
evaporate before using the projection TV.
For Safe Operation
•
Do not operate the projection TV set on anything other
than a 220-240V AC, 50Hz supply.
•
Do not operate the projection TV if any liquid or solid
objects fall in through the ventilation slots. Have it
checked immediately.
•
For environmental and safety reasons, it is
recommended that the projection TV set is not left in
standby mode when not in use. Switch off at the
mains.
•
Do not disconnect the projection TV by pulling on the
power cable. Disconnect by removing the mains plug.
•
In case of a thunderstorm, disconnect the projection
TV set from the main supply and the aerial. Otherwise
the set may be damaged by a lighting strike.
•
Displaying a still picture for long periods of time, for
instance, when operating a video game or personal
computer and viewing a programme in 4:3 mode, may
damage the picture tube. To avoid this, keep the
picture contrast level low.
For Maintenance
•
Clean the projection TV screen and cabinet with a soft
dampened cloth. Do not use any abrasive cleaners. As
a safety precaution, unplug the set before cleaning it.
•
Dust and nicotine deposits may cause heat
accumulation inside the projection TV set.
In the long term this could be a safety risk and may
shorten the lifetime of your projection TV set.
Therefore have your set serviced about every five
years.
•
Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch
the surface with hard objects.
