Safety warnings
Damage -
Never use your TV
if it is damaged in any way.
Always place your TV on a fl at
level surface
avoiding anywhere which may
be subject to strong vibration.
Weather -
It is advisable to
unplug the aerial during an
electrical storm.
Moisture -
Do not allow
your TV to be exposed to rain,
moisture or dust.
If any liquid is spilt into your TV
it can cause serious damage.
If you spill any liquid into your
TV switch it off at the mains
immediately. Contact your store.
Interference
Do not place your TV on or near
appliances which may cause
electromagnetic interference (TV
or Hi-Fi speakers). If you do, it
may adversely affect the working
of the unit, causing erratic
playback, distorted picture or
sound.
Temperature
Avoid extremes of temperature,
either hot or cold, place your
TV well away from heat sources
such as radiators or gas/electric
fi res.
Ventilation
The TV must be well ventilated.
Do not cover your TV or place
inside a small confi ned space. It
is recommended that you leave a
10cm gap all around your TV.
Batteries
Batteries are easily swallowed
by young children. Do not allow
young children to play with the
remote control unit.
Covers -
Do not remove any
fi xed covers as this may expose
dangerous voltages.
Standby
Do not leave your TV in standby
for long periods of time e.g.
overnight or while on holiday.
We recommend that you switch
off / unplug at the mains power
supply.
Headphone
Loud music can damage your
hearing irreversibly, therefore
do not set the volume to a high
level when listening through
headphones, particularly for
extended listening periods.
Attention!
Cleaning instructions for your LCD TV.
Safety note:
Before you start to clean, switch
the set’s power off completely and
disconnect the plug from the mains
power supply.
Be careful not to scratch the plastic
coated front panel - it is highly
vulnerable to accidental scratching
(e.g. by fi ngernails or other sharp
items).
While cleaning, do not wear jewellery
that could cause surface scratching
(such as rings, wrist-watch, etc.).
Use a lint-free cloth and pure water to
clean with, but make sure the cloth is
thoroughly wrung out so that it is just
damp and not soaking wet - also make
sure that the cloth is free from any
dirt that could cause scratching to the
surface.
Wipe the set clean using minimal
pressure.
Do not use standard window cleaning
fl uid. Its alcohol / ammonia will
dissolve the front window’s coating.
Never use solvent or thinner. Never
use special cleaners which are
designed for cleaning PC Monitors or
CRT TVs.
Finally carefully rub dry with a clean
dry lint-free cloth.
Do not use paper towels or tissues to
clean the set - paper can disintegrate
when wet or may leave a trail of dust
behind. Some paper can also be
abrasive and scratch your screen.
Plasma and LCD TV Screen Burn Warning
A characteristic of Plasma and LCD TV Panels is that displaying the same
image for a long time may cause a permanent after-image to remain on the
screen. This is called screen burn. Most pictures shown on your TV will be
constantly moving and fi ll the screen.
Examples of images that you need to watch out for are as follows (this is
not an all-inclusive list):
Black Bars:
If black bars appear at the left/right or top/bottom of the
screen it is recommended to change the format so that the picture fi lls
the entire screen.
TV Channel Logos:
e.g. Shopping channel logos and pricing
displays - especially if they are bright and stationary. Moving or low-
contrast graphics are less likely to cause ageing of the screen.
PIP and Multipip:
Do not view for long periods of time using the PIP
or Multipip functions.
Time Displays
Teletext:
Do not view a stationary page for long periods of time.
TV/DVD Menus:
e.g. Listings of DVD disk content.
Pause Mode:
Do not leave the screen in pause mode for long
periods of time, e.g. When watching DVDs or videos.
Note: To prevent screen burn if viewing any of the above for long
periods of time, reduce contrast and brightness when viewing. Once
burn-in occurs it will never disappear completely.

Notes:
When installing the set on
a wall, allow at least 10 cm
clearance between the rear of
the set and the wall. Clearance
of less than 10 cm will obstruct
the vents and cause the interior
of the set to overheat, resulting
in faults or damage to the set.
If the unit is mounted on
the wall, contact the shop
where you purchased the
unit for advice, and leave the
installation work to experts.
Incomplete installation work
can cause you injuries.
The apparatus must be
connected to a mains socket
outlet with a protective
earthing connection.
The socket outlet must be
installed near the equipment
and easily accessible.
