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 cupboards to allow 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
on/off switch.
Even if the ON/OFF switch is in OFF position the set is not completely
separated from the mains. In order to separate the set completely from the
mains, the set has to be disconnected by unplugging the mains plug.
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. In case of malfunction, if the set does not operate normally.
Additional information :
Your TV set is adequately shielded to prevent emission of X-rays.
The acceleration voltage does not exceed the maximum value of 26 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 X-radiation.
A set changed in any of the above ways no longer satisfies the initial
specifications and should not be put back into service.
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.
