Setup AND SAFETY-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please note the following instructions when setting up the television set:

7This television is designed to receive and display video and audio signals.

All other uses are expressly prohibited.

7The ideal viewing distance is five times the diagonal­ screen size.

7Light falling on the screen impairs picture quality­ .

7To ensure the device is always adequately ventilated, make sure there is sufficient space between the television set and nearby furniture.

7The 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.

7Do 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.

7Do not place any objects such as newspapers on the television or put cloth or similar items under it.

7Do not place the television close to heating units or in direct sunlight, as this will impair cooling.

7Heat 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.

7Never open the television under any circumstances. Warranty claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.

7Make sure the power cord or the power supply unit (if provided) are not damaged.

7Only operate the television with the power cord/power supply * provided. (*For products with a power supply)

7Thunderstorms 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.

7Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the screen. Do not use water with soap or detergent.

7Only clean the housing of your television set with the cloth provided. Do not use water with soap or detergent.

7When 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.

7The 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.

7To ensure fires do not occur, always­ keep candles and other open flames away from the device­ .

ENGLISH ­3

Setup AND SAFETY-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on. Also switch off other equipment before connecting it.

7Do not plug in the power cord of the device until you have connected the external equipment and the antenna.

7Make sure the mains plug is freely accessible.

Caution:

7If 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.

7When 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

7The following information will help you to save resources – and money as well.

7If 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.

7As switching off the television set does not completely disconnect it from the mains, pull out the plug to disconnect it from the mains completely.

7If 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.

7In 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).

7The 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.

7Do not allow the same TV channel to stay on the screen for a very long time. Channel logos may cause this situation.

7Do 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.

7Higher 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.

1To receive analogue TV channels, connect

the cable for the rooftop antenna to the antenna socket »ANt­IN« on the television set

Note:

7When connecting an indoor antenna you may have to try it out at different positions until you get the best reception.

2 Plug the power cord into a wall socket.

Note:

7Do not plug in the power cord of the device until you have connected the external equipment and the antenna.

7Only use the power cord supplied to connect the television set to a suitable earthed safety socket.

7Do not use an adapter plug or extension lead which does not meet the applicable safety standards. Do not tamper with the power cord.
