SET-UP AND SAFETY

______________________________________________________

So that this quality, easy-to-use television set continues to provide you with satisfaction and entertainment, please observe the following when setting it up.

This television set is designed to receive and replay picture and sound signals. Any other use is expressly prohibited. The ideal viewing distance is 5 times the screen diagonal. External light falling on the screen impairs picture quality. Ensure sufficient gaps to the side walls of the cabinet. The television set is designed for use in a dry place. If, however, you use it in the open, ensure

without fail that it is protected from moisture (rain, lawn sprinklers). Do not expose the television set to any moisture.

Do not place any containers filled with fluids (vases or similar) on the television set. The container could fall over and the fluid compromise electrical safety.

Place the television set on an even and firm surface. Do not place any objects (newspapers, for example) on the television set or any cloth or similar underneath the television set.

Do not place the television set close to heating units or in direct sunlight. This will affect cooling. Heat build-up can be dangerous and reduces the service life of the set. As a safety precaution, have

any deposits in the set removed by a specialist from time to time. Keep the television set away from magnetic fields (loudspeaker units, for example).

SET-UP AND SAFETY

______________________________________________________________

Do not open the television set under any circumstances. The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage arising from inappropriate treatment.

Ensure that the mains cable is not damaged. The television set must only be operated with the mains cable set supplied.

Thunderstorms may present a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the television set is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike in the mains and/or to the aerial cable. Always remove the mains and aerial plugs when a thunderstorm is imminent.

Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth. Only use pure water. This television set sucessfully fuses technology and environmental friendliness into a coherent total

package. Predominantly ecologically compatible, high quality materials have been used. A high proportion of the casing is of recycled plastic and it is painted with ecologically compatible waterbased laquers including recycled laquer. Optimum design obviates the need for flame retardants in the casing. The range of materials used has been deliberately reduced to a minimum and all the larger plastic parts have been labelled to enable effective recycling at the end of the set´s service life. This television set is easily disassembled to make servicing easier and optimise recycling.

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 nonrewireable 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 elsewhere. If it is necessary to change the fuse in the non-rewireable plug, the correct type and rating (5 Amp AST A 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 AST A or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse. If any other type of plug is used it must be pr otected 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 following 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.
