INSTALLATION AND SAFETY
_______________________________
In order to assure that this high-quality and easy-to-use TV set will be able to
provide you with good service and pleasure for a long time to come, it is important that you observe the following points when installing the set.
This PLanatron has been designed for the reception and reproduction of picture
and sound signals.
Any other use is explicitly forbidden.
The ideal viewing distance from the screen is 5 times the diagonal width of the
screen (about 5.5 m).
External light shining on the screen adversely affects picture quality.
Assure that there is enough space when installing the set in a wall recess, for
example.
The Planatron is designated for operation in dry rooms. Should you nevertheless
operate it outside, make absolutely sure that it is protected against dampness
(rain, water splashes). Never expose the Planatron to any sort of moisture.
Do not place vessels filled with fluid (vases or similar things) on the Planatron.
The vessel may tip over and the fluid may adversely affect electrical safety.
Do not place objects (for example, newspapers) on the Planatron.
Do not place the Planatron close to the heating or in direct sunshine as it could
overheat.
Heat build-up can be dangerous and is detrimental to the service life of the
equipment.
From time to time, have a technician come to clean the inside of the set, the blower
and the inside of the pane.

INSTALLATION AND SAFETY
___________________________________________________
Do not open the TV set under any circumstance. The manufacturer will offer no
liability for damage resulting from unauthorized tampering.
Use only original GRUNDIG connection cables, accessories and replacement
parts.
Be sure that the mains cable is not damaged at any time.
Storms represent a danger for every type of electrical device. Even if the set is
switched off, it could be damaged by a lightning strike hitting the mains and/or
the aerial lead. Therefore, always disconnect the mains plug and aerial plug
when there is a storm.
Clean the picture screen only with the cloth supplied.
For cleaning the picture screen housing, use only a soft cloth moistened with
clean water.
This TV set combines technology and ecology in a well thought-out overall concept. Only ecologically high-quality materials are used. The packaging is made
almost entirely of 100% recycled paper, and the portion of plastic has been
reduced to a minimum. The batteries supplied have no mercury or cadmium.
The number of plastic types has been reduced in order to ensure high-quality
recycling when the set is put out of use – all larger plastic parts are marked.
To facilitate maintenance work and recycling, this TV set is easy to disassemble.
This digital TV set provides optimum picture an d sound quality.
Condition for this is a perfectly operating aerial system and a high-quality
aerial cable.
For this reason use only the aerial cable supplied or an aerial cable of equivalent quality.
For the same reason, avoid cable loops near the TV set.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
________________________________
Still picture
If a still picture is displayed very long (several hours) on the picture screen, it
may happen that it remains visible some time as “ghost picture” when changing
the programme.
This phenomenon is caused by a kind of memory effect. To prevent this effect, it
is recommended to switch on a screen saver when the Planatron is operated in
connection with a PC.
Colour distortions
If the TV set is not used for a long period of time (over one year), it may happen
that colour distortions occur.
This effect can be considered normal for a plasma picture screen. After some
time, the colour distortions will disappear.
Failure of colour pixels
A plasma picture screen consists of about 1.2 million colour pixels.
It must be expected that a small percentage of theses pixels (0,001%) within an
industrial standard tolerance may be defect.
This is not visible in an animated picture.
Air pressure
The plasma picture screen functions technologically with inert gas under the
influence of air pressure.
In heights 2000m above sea level, the picture may become instable and the picture quality affected. However, if the set is operated 2000m below sea level
again, this effect disappears and the set will operate correctly again.
Humidity
The Planatron is not appropriate for regions with very high humidity (e.g. the
tropics). The maximum humidity must not exceed 85%):

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
___________________________________________________
Remote control of external devices
For technical reasons it may happen in exceptional cases that an external device
(video recorder, DVD player or similar) does not correctly respond to the
remote control commands.
If this should be the case, change the position of the external device, or change
the batteries in the remote control of the external device.
Display of a VGA picture
Check and correct if necessary the VGA mode setting on your PC
(640 x 480/60Hz, 640 x 400/70Hz, 640 x 350/70Hz).
To ensure an optimum picture quality, use only a correctly shielded VGA cable
(e.g. ferrite core) for a cable length above two meters.
When using a laptop:
In addition to checking the resolution setting, make sure that the laptop has been
set for operation with an external video source (moitor).
Additional Information for Units sold in Great Britain
Units sold in GB are suitable for operation from a 240 V AC, 50 Hz mains supply.
In case this appliance is supplied with a Safety Standard Approved mains lead fitted with a non-rewireable 13 Amp mains
plug which, if unsuitable for your socket, should be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted by a qualified electrician. The fuse
and fuse holder must be removed from the plug as accidental insertion of the redundant plug into a 13 Amp socket is likely
to cause an electrical hazard.
Note: The severed plug must be destroyed to avoid a possible shock hazard should it be inserted into a 13 Amp socket else-
where.
If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct type and rating (5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS
1362) must be used and the fuse cover must be refitted. If the fuse cover is lost or damaged the lead and plug must not be
used until a replacement is obtained. Replacement fuse covers should be obtained from your dealer.
If a non-rewireable plug or a rewireable 13 Amp (BS 1363) plug is used, it must be fitted with a 5 Amp ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse. If any othe type of plug is used it must be protected by a 5 Amp fuse either in the plug or at the distribution board.
Important:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the follow-ing code:
BLUE – NEUTRAL
BROWN – LIVE
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of your appliance may not correspond with the coloured marking identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
Connect the BLUE coloured wire to plug terminal marked with the letter "N" or coloured black.
Connect the BROWN coloured wire to the plug terminal marked with a letter "L" or coloured red.
In no circumstance must any of the wires be connected to the terminal marked with a letter "E", earth symbol , coloured
green or green and yellow.
Replacement mains lead can be obtained from your dealer.
