Safety and Installation

Inserting the Battery into the Remote
Control Handset

Remove the battery compartment cover by pressing on the
catch and then removing the cover.

Insert the battery supplied. Make sure it is inserted correctly
(markings in the battery compartment).

When the battery is dead, the message ”......BATTERY”

appears on the picture screen.
Remove the dead battery immediately.
We assume no responsibility for damage resulting from
battery leakage.
Dead batteries must be disposed of properly.

Connecting the TV Set

Insert the plug of the aerial lead into the aerial socket É of the
TV set.

Insert the plug of the mains lead into a wall outlet.

Switching the TV Set On/Off

Press the

¢

IO

button on the unit.

If you do not use the TV set for extended periods of time
(e.g., at night), turn it off with this button.
This helps you to save energy.

When setting up your television, select a location where as
little light as possible falls on the screen.

The ideal viewing distance is five times the diagonal width of
the screen.

If the television is to be built into a compartment or similarly
enclosed, minimum distances must be maintained.

Do not cover the ventilation openings on the back.

The heat exchange inside the unit generates an air circulation
which attracts dust particles (carpet and curtain fibres and
home dust). These particles accumulate inside the ventilation
slots obstructing these over the years and causing a build-up
of heat.

Heat build-up can reduce the service life of your television,
and can also be dangerous.

For your own safety, let remove the dust deposits by a spe­cialist from time to time.

Never set up speakers next to the unit.

When setting up and using this unit, please make sure that
the mains connection wire is free and not jammed in order to
avoid damage.

Never place the television near heat sources.

Even if your television is switched off, it can still be damaged
by lightning striking the mains and/or aerial cables.
For this reason, you should always disconnect your television
from the mains and the aerial system during electrical
storms.

Never expose the unit to moisture.
Do not insert foreign objects into the ventilation openings on
the back.
Caution! High voltage!

Service note for the dealer

This unit conforms to VDE safety regulations and directives
of the Deutsche Bundespost (German Federal Post Office; see
certification mark on the type sticker on the rear of the unit),
as well as all relevant ordinances governing X-ray emissions.
The picture tube, which emits X-rays, is sufficiently shielded
and therefore represents no danger. Accelerating voltage is
max. 27kV with a mean beam current of 1.5mA.

Unauthorized tampering with the unit, in particular making
adjustments to the high voltage system, or installing a dif­ferent picture tube, can considerably increase X-ray emissi­ons. Units so altered no longer conform to applicable safety
regulations and may not be operated.

Subject to alterations.
