Please note the following information when setting up your television set.
This television set is designed to receive and display video and audio

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 clearance between the TV and the wall cabinet.
The television set is designed for use in dry rooms. If you do use it in the

open, please ensure that it is protected from moisture, such as rain or
splashing water. Do not expose the television set to any 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 set on a solid, level surface. Do not place any
objects such as newspapers on the television set or cloth or similar items
beneath it.

Do not place the television set close to heating units or in direct sunlight,
as this will impair cooling.
Heat build-up can be dangerous and shortens the operating life of the
television set. For reasons of safety, have a specialist remove any dirt
deposits in the set from time to time.
Keep the television set away from magnetic fields (loudspeaker boxes,
for example).

Do not open the television set under any circumstances. Warranty
claims are excluded for damage resulting from improper handling.

Ensure that the mains cable is not damaged.
Thunderstorms are a danger to all electrical devices. Even if the tele-

vision set is switched off, it can be damaged by a lightning strike to the
mains or the antenna cable. Always disconnect the mains and antenna
plugs during a storm.

Clean the screen with a soft, damp cloth. Only use plain water.
