Important information
Safety
Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage matches the
voltage indicated on the identification sticker located at the
back of your set.
The TV set's components are sensitive to heat.The
maximum ambient temperature should not exceed
35° Celsius. Do not cover the vents at the back or sides of
the TV set. Leave sufficient space around it to allow
adequate ventilation.
Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should not
exceed 85% humidity. If you have to use the TV set
outdoors, do not expose it to rain or splashing water.
Moving the set from a cold place to a warm one can cause
condensation on the screen (and on some components
inside the TV set). Let the condensation evaporate before
switching the TV set on again.
If you intend to be away for a long period,switch the TV
set off at the on/off switch. Even when off, some
components remain in contact with the mains electricity
supply.To completely isolate the set you must remove the
plug from the mains supply socket.
During thunderstorms,we recommend that you
disconnect the TV set from the mains and aerial so that it is
not affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that
could damage it. For this reason, keep the mains and
aerial sockets accessible so they can be disconnected,if
necessary.
Unplug the TV set immediately if you notice it giving off a
smell of burning or smoke.You must never, under any
circumstances, open the TV set yourself, as you run the risk
of an electric shock in doing so.
The TV set is provided with adequate shielding to avoid
generating X-ray emissions externally.Work carried out by
unqualified persons, modifications to the high voltage or
replacement of the tube with a model not complying with
the manufacturer’s recommendations may cause a sharp
increase in X-ray emissions.A set modified in this way
no longer meets the original specifications and should not
be switched on again.
THOMSON disclaims any liability if the TV set is not
used in accordance with this manual.
Care
Use a glass-cleaning product to clean the screen and a soft
cloth and mild detergent to clean the rest of the set.
Dust the vents at the back and sides regularly. Using
solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based products could damage
the TV set.
Demagnetisation
Speakers with poor magnetic insulation or the presence of
any other large magnetic field sources in the vicinity may
cause patches of colour to appear on the screen.
To get rid of this effect, move any magnetic field source
away from the TV set, switch the set off using the on/off
switch and wait 15 minutes before switching it on again.
In the interest of improving the quality of our products, we reserve the right to modify their features.The information in this manual is, therefore,
subject to change and does not represent any kind of contract.
