Risk of damage to the TV!
Before you connect the TV to the power outlet, ensure that the
power voltage matches the value printed on the back of the TV.
Never connect the TV to the power outlet if the voltage is
different.
Risk of injury to children!
Follow these precautions to prevent the TV from toppling over
and causing injury to children:
• Never place the TV on a surface covered by a cloth or other
material that can be pulled away.
• Ensure that no part of the TV hangs over the edge of the
mounting surface.
• Never place the TV on tall furniture, such as a bookcase,
without anchoring both the furniture and TV to the wall or a
suitable support.
• Teach children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to
reach the TV.
Risk of swallowing batteries!
The remote control may contain coin-type batteries which can
easily be swallowed by small children. Keep these batteries out of
reach of children at all times.
Risk of overheating!
Never install the TV in a confined space. Always leave a space of
at least 10 cm or 4 inches around the TV for ventilation. Ensure
curtains or other objects never cover the ventilation slots on the
TV.
Lightning storms
Disconnect the TV from the power outlet and antenna before
lightning storms. During lightning storms, never touch any part of
the TV, power cord or antenna cable.
Risk of hearing damage!
Avoid using earphones or headphones at high volumes or for
prolonged periods of time.
Low temperatures
If the TV is transported in temperatures below 5°C or 41°F,
unpack the TV and wait until the TV temperature reaches room
temperature before connecting the TV to the power outlet.
Care
• Never touch, push, rub or strike the screen with any object.
• Unplug the TV before cleaning.
• Clean the TV and frame with a soft damp cloth. Never use
substances such as alcohol, chemicals or household cleaners on
the TV.
• To avoid deformations and colour fading, wipe off water drops
as quickly as possible.
• Avoid stationary images as much as possible. Stationary images
are images that remain onscreen for extended periods of time.
Stationary images include onscreen menus, black bars, time
displays, etc. If you must use stationary images, reduce screen
contrast and brightness to avoid screen damage.
Temperature and humidity
In rare occasions, depending on temperature and humidity, minor
condensation can occur on the inside of the TV glass front (on
some models). To prevent this, do not expose the TV to direct
sunlight, heat or extreme humidity. If condensation occurs, it will
disappear spontaneously while the TV is playing for a few hours.
The condensation moisture will not harm the TV or cause
malfunction.
