Cautions

–  Ensure that the television is positioned, set up 

and connected in accordance with the 
instructions in this Getting Started. To prevent 
injury, use Bang & Olufsen approved stands and

wall brackets only! 
–  Place your television on a rm, stable surface. 
–  Do not place any items on top of your television. 
–  Do not subject the television to rain, high

humidity or sources of heat. 
–  The television is developed for indoor use in dry,

domestic environments only. Use within a 

temperature range of 50–105°F (10–40°C), and 

at an altitude of no more than 5,000ft 

(1,500m). 
–  Do not place the television in direct sunlight or

direct articial light, such as a spotlight, as this 

may reduce the sensitivity of the remote control 

receiver. Also if the screen is overheated, black 

spots may appear in the picture. These spots 

disappear again, once the television cools down 

to normal temperature. 
–  Leave enough space around the television for

adequate ventilation. 
–  Connect all cables before connecting or

reconnecting any of the products in your system 

to the mains. 
–  No naked ame sources, such as lighted candles

should be placed on the apparatus. 
–  Do not attempt to open the television. Leave

such operations to qualied service personnel. 
–  Do not strike the glass with hard or pointed

items. 
–  The television can only be switched off

completely by disconnecting it from the wall 

socket. 
–  The disconnect device shall remain readily

operable. 
–  The supplied mains cord and plug are specially

designed for the television. If you change the 

plug or in any way damage the mains cord, it 

can affect the TV performance.
