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 set 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. External light shining on the screen adversely affects picture quality.

Assure that there is enough space inside the cabinet.

The TV set 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 TV set to any sort of moisture.

Do not place vessels filled with fluid (vases or similar things) on the TV set. The vessel may tip over and the fluid may adversely affect electrical safety. Put the TV set on an even and hard surface. Do not place objects (for example, newspapers) on the TV set or place the set on a cloth cover, etc.

Do not place the TV set 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. Keep the TV set away from magnetic fields (for example stereo speakers).

INSTALLATION AND SAFETY

___________________________________________________

Do not open the TV set under any circumstance. The manufacturer will offer no liability for damage resulting from unauthorized tampering.

Be sure that the mains cable is not damaged at any time. Use only the mains power cable supplied for connecting the TV set to the mains.

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.

When cleaning the screen, use only a soft, damp cloth. Use only clean water.

This television set sucessfully fuses technology and environmental friendliness into a coherent 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 sound water-based 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.
