For your own safety
For your own safety and in order to avoid
unnecessarily damaging your TV set, please
read and observe the following safety
instructions:
• This TV set is designed exclusively for receiving
and reproducing audio and visual (AV) signals.
• It is designed for the home or offi ce and may
not be used in rooms with high humidity (e.g.
bathroom, sauna) or a high concentration of
dust (e.g. workshops). If the unit is used in
the open air ensure that it is protected against
moisture (rain, dripping or splashing water, or
dew). Do not place containers fi lled with water,
such as vases, on the TV set. High moisture and
dust concentrations produce creep currents in
the set which can lead to danger of electric
shock or fi re.
The manufacturer’s warranty is only valid for
use of the TV set in the specifi ed permissible
environment.
• This set may only be connected to a power
supply with the voltage and frequency specifi ed
on the rating plate using the enclosed power
cable. The wrong voltages can damage the set.
• If the set is moved from a cold environment to
a warm room, condensation forms on all parts
of the set. Moisture produces creep currents
in the set which can cause a fi re. In this case,
you should leave the set for a reasonable time
to acclimatize (when the condensation on the
screen has evaporated) before switching it on.
• Like every piece of electronic equipment,
your TV needs air for cooling. Obstructing the
air supply to the set can cause fi res. The air
vents on the back of the TV set must always
be kept free. Do not leave newspapers or
cloths lying on the TV set. The air supply is
also impaired when the TV set is placed on a
blanket or a thick pile carpet.
If the TV set is placed in a cabinet or on a
shelf, at least 5 cm clearance at the sides
and at least 10 cm at the top must be left to
allow air to circulate.
Stand the TV set in a place where it is not
exposed to direct sunlight or additional heat-
ing from radiators.
• Magnetic fi elds infl uence the picture quality
of the TV set. Do not place loudspeakers or
other magnetic sources immediately next to
the TV set.
• Avoid dropping metal objects, needles, paper
clips, liquids, wax or similar into the air vents
at the back of the set. This causes short
circuiting of the set and could start a fi re. If
anything should get inside the set, switch it
off immediately, pull out the plug and call
the after-sales service to check it.
Do not place vases fi lled with water, lighted
candles etc. on the top of the TV set.
