SETUP AND SAFETY
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note the following instructions when
setting up the television set:
7
This television is designed to receive and display video and audio signals.
All other uses are expressly prohibited.
7
The ideal viewing distance is five times the
diagonal screen size.
7
Light falling on the screen impairs picture
quality.
7
To ensure the device is always adequately ventilated, make sure there is sufficient space between the television set and nearby furniture.
7
The television is designed for use in dry rooms.
If you do use it outdoors, make sure it is protected from moisture such as rain or splashing
water.
Never expose the television set to moisture.
7
Do not place any vessels such as vases on the
television, as they may spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.
7
Place the television on a hard, level surface.
7
Do not place any objects such as newspapers
on the television or put cloth or similar items
under it.
7
Do not place the television close to heating
units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair
cooling.
7
Heat build-up can be dangerous and shortens
the service life of the television. For reasons of
safety, have a repairman remove any dirt in
the television from time to time.
7
Never open the television under any circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for
damage resulting from improper handling.
7
Make sure the power cord or the power supply unit (if provided) are not damaged.
7
Only operate the television with the power
cord/power supply * provided. (*For products with a power supply)
7
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical
devices. Even when the television is switched
off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to
the mains or the antenna. Always disconnect
the mains and antenna plugs during a storm.
7
Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the screen.
Do not use water with soap or detergent.
7
Only clean the housing of your television set
with the cloth provided. Do not use water with
soap or detergent.
7
When deciding where to put the device, remember that furniture is often coated with various types of varnish and plastic. Many of these
contain chemicals which can corrode the feet
of the device, leaving marks on the surface of
the furniture which can be difficult or impossible to remove.
7
The screen of your LCD television meets
the highest quality standards and has been
checked for pixel faults.
Despite the great care taken in manufacturing,
technological reasons make it impossible to
completely discount the possibility that some
pixels may be faulty.
Provided they are within the thresholds specified by the DIN norm, pixel faults of this kind
cannot be regarded as a defect as defined by
the warranty.
7
To ensure fires do not occur,
always keep candles and
other open flames away from
the device.

SETUP AND SAFETY
7
Do not connect any other equipment while the
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
device is switched on. Also switch off other
equipment before connecting it.
7
Do not plug in the power cord of the device
until you have connected the external equipment and the antenna.
7
Make sure the mains plug is freely accessible.
Caution:
7
If you plan on using a wall bracket for your
television, make sure you read the assembly
manual for the wall bracket or have a specialist assemble it.
7
When purchasing the wall bracket, make
sure that all the fastening points on the television are also on the wall bracket and that
they are all used when mounting it.
Important notes on
environmental protection
7
The following information will help you to save
resources – and money as well.
7
If you are not using your television set for
several days, you should pull out the mains
plug for environmental and safety reasons.
This way the television does not consume any
electricity.
7
As switching off the television set does not
completely disconnect it from the mains, pull
out the plug to disconnect it from the mains
completely.
7
If the device is equipped with a power switch,
switching it off using this switch will be sufficient. The energy consumed by the television
set is reduced to virtually 0 W.
7
In standby mode, the television set uses very
little energy. However, it may be necessary
to leave the television set in standby mode
for certain functions (for example automatic
switch-on and switch-off and for timer functions).
7
The television set uses less energy when the
brightness is reduced.
Notes on still images
Watching the same image for a long time on the
screen may cause a still image remains feebly on
the background. Feeble image(s) on the background is originated from LCD/LED technology
and does not require any action under guarantee. To avoid such cases and/or minimize the
impact, you may observe the tips below.
7
Do not allow the same TV channel to stay on
the screen for a very long time. Channel logos
may cause this situation.
7
Do not allow the images, which are not full
screen, to constantly stay on the screen; if not
streamed in full screen format by the broadcaster, you can convert the images to full
screen by changing picture formats.
7
Higher brightness and/or contrast values will
lead this impact to appear faster; therefore,
you are recommended to watch your TV in the
lowest brightness and contrast levels.
