Recommendations and Precautions
1.Operation
Please read the following instructions carefully and follow them closely, they concern your personal safety and
can affect the operation of your equipment.
Television sets require ventilation to avoid overheating which can
damage components. Makesure thatthe rearventilation openings are
not covered up by curtains, cloths, newspapers, etc. There must be
enough room inside built–in units toallow cooling air to circulate freely.
Do not install the set next to heating.
The applianceis designedtooperate ina dry room. Shouldyou,forany
special reason, wish to use it outdoors (e.g. balcony, veranda, tent,
etc.), always make sure it is properly protected against any form of
moisture (dew, rain, splashing).
Before turning on a cold set in a warm room, wait until any
condensation on the screen has evaporated. Never open up the rear
panel of the television set. Have your aerial installed by an authorised
dealer or specialist.
At the end of the evening TV programme or in the event of prolonged
absence, you should switch off your set using the ON/OFF button.
Even if the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position, the set is not
completely disconnected from the mains. To disconnect the set
completely, pull out the mains plug.
Remove the mains plug from the wall outlet in the following cases:
1. During thunderstorms. It is wise to disconnect the aerial plug tooin
this case.
2. If you notice any odour or smoke coming from your set.
Additional information:
Your TV set is adequately shielded to prevent X–ray emission.
Acceleration voltage does not exceed the maximum value of 26 kV.
Work by unqualified technicians, modification of the high–voltage
setting or replacement of the tube with a model that does not comply
with the manufacturer’s specifications can lead to a considerable
increase in X–ray emission.
A set changed in any of the above ways no longer complies with the
manufacturer’s specifications and should not beput back into service.
2. Cleaning
The screen should be cleaned using liquid window cleaner.
· Never use abrasive cleaners.
· Clean the front and cabinet using a soft cloth dipped in mild detergent. The use of solvents such as white spirit or
alcohol–based products may damage your set.
· Make sure to clean the vents at the rear of your set regularly.
3. Demagnetisation
The earth’s magnetic field may affect your television set, causing coloured patches to appear on the screen.
If this happens:
· Switch off the set using the ON/OFF button.
· Wait about an hour and then switch on again using the ON/OFF button.
This operation demagnetises the screen automatically. If coloured patches are still visible, repeat the procedure.
DO NOT OBSTRUCT VENTILATION OPE-
NINGS.
AVOID WATER,
HEAT,
DIRECT SUNLIGHT.
Do not place audio loudspeakers next to
your TV set as the magnets in the spea-
kers may cause coloured patches on the
screen.
