SET-UP AND SAFETY___________________________

Please note the following instructions when setting up the television set:
This television is designed to receive and display video and audio signals.

Any other use is expressly prohibited.
The ideal viewing distance is five times the diagonal screen size.

Light falling on the screen impairs picture quality.
To assure sufficient ventilation make sure there is enough space

around it in the wall unit.
The 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.

Do not place any vessels such as vases on the television, as they may
spill liquid, thus presenting a safety risk.
Place the television on a hard, level surface. Do not place any objects
such as newspapers on the television or put cloth or similar items
under it.

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

Never open the television under any circumstances. No warranty claims
are accepted for damage caused by incorrect handling.

Make sure the power cord or the power supply unit (if provided) are not
damaged.
The television set may only be operated with the mains cable/adapter
supplied.

Thunderstorms 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.

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

Note:

Do not connect any other equipment while the device is switched on.
Switch off the other equipment as well before connecting it.
Do not plug in the power cord of your device until you have connected
the external equipment and the antenna.

Make sure the power plug is freely accessible.

When 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.

The screen of your LCD television meets the highest quality standards
and has been checked for pixel faults.
Despite the great care taken in manufacturing, it is technically impossi­ble to guarantee that some pixels will not be defective.
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.

Caution:

If you want to use a wall bracket for your television, make sure you read
the assembly instructions for the wall bracket carefully or have your spe­cialist dealer mount it for you.

When buying the wall bracket, make sure that all the fastening points
needed on the television are there on the wall bracket and that they are
all used when it is mounted.
