NOT to dispose the equipment including any spent or
discarded batteries as unsorted municipal waste, but
use the return and collection systems available. If the
batteries or accumulators included with this equipment
display the chemical symbol Hg, Cd, or Pb, then it
means that the battery has a heavy metal content of
more than 0.0005% Mercury, or more than 0.002%
Cadmium or more than, 0.004% Lead

operating mode when you leave your house.
Connection to a Television Distribution
System (Cable TV etc.) from Tuner
Device connected to the protective earthing of the
building installation through the mains connection or
through other apparatus with a connection to protective
earthing-and to a television distribution system using
coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a
fi re hazard.
Connection to a cable distribution system has
therefore to be provided through a device providing
electrical isolation below a certain frequency range
(galvanic isolator, see EN 60728-11).
WARNING :
Do not leave your TV in standby or operating mode
when you leave your house.
The Standby / On button doesn´t separate this •
device completely from mains. Moreover the device
consumes power in the standby operation. In order
to separate the device completely from mains, the
mains plug has to be pulled from the mains socket.
Because of that the device should be set up in a
way, that an unobstructed access to mains socket
is guaranteed, so that in case of emergency the
mains plug can be pulled immediately. To exclude
the danger of fi re, the power cord should principally
be separated from the mains socket prior to a longer
period of non-usage, i.e. during vacations.
Electrical device not in the hands of children
WARNING: Never let children use electrical
device unsupervised.Children can´t always recognize
properly the possible dangers. Batteries / accumulators
can be life threatening when swallowed. Store
batteries out of reach of small children. In case of
swallowing a battery medical aid has to be sought
immediately. Also keep the packaging foils away from
children. There is danger of suffocation.
