For your own safety and to prevent unnecessary damage to your device,
read and comply with the following safety instructions:
Proper use and environmental conditions
This TV set is intended exclusively for the reception and reproduction of
video and audio signals and designed for the home and office . It may
not be used in rooms with high humidity (e.g. bathrooms, saunas) or
high dust concentration (e.g. workshops ). The manufacturer‘s warranty is
only valid for use in the specified permissible environment.
If the set is used outdoors then ensure that it is protected against mois-ture (rain, splashing water, or dew). High humidity and dust concentration
cause creep currents in the set . This can cause electric shocks or fires .
If you have brought the set into a
warm environment from the cold, then
wait for about 1 hour before switching
it on to avoid formation of condensa-tion.
Do not place any objects filled with
liquid or burning candles on the device. Protect the set against dripping
and splashing water.
Never place the TV set in a position
where it is exposed to vibrations. This
can lead to material overload.
Transporting
Only transport the device in vertical position. Grasp the device on the
upper and lower edges of the housing.
The LCD screen is made of glass or plastic and can break if not handled
properly.
If the LCD screen is damaged and liquid crystal is leaking, wear rubber
gloves for handling the TV set. If there is skin contact immediately wash
thoroughly with water.
Power supply
The wrong voltage can damage the set. This equipment must only be
connected to a mains power supply which has the same voltage and
frequency as that specified on the rating plate; use the power cable
provided. The mains plug of the TV set must be easily accessible so that
the device can be disconnected from the mains at any time. When you
unplug the mains plug, do not pull on the cable rather pull on the plug
housing. The cable in the mains plug could be damaged and cause a
short circuit the next time it is plugged in.
Lay out the power cable in such a manner that it cannot be damaged.
The power cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, stepped
on or exposed to che mi cals ; The latter also applies for the entire equipment. A power cable with damaged insulation can cause electrical shock
and is a fire hazard.
Air circulation and high temperatures
The vent slots on the rear panel of the set must always be kept free.
Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the TV.
At least 10 cm clearance must be
left at the sides and top for air
circulation if the TV set is placed or
10 cm
hung in a cabinet or a shelf.
Like any electronic device, your TV
10 cm 10 cm
set requires air for cooling. Obstruction of the air circulation can
cause fires.
The set is suitable for different installation solutions. See the instructions
for assembly for the different installation solutions.
Stand the TV set with the table or floor stand only on a level, sturdy, horizontal base. Particularly ensure that the set does not protrude to the
front when placed in or on pieces of furniture.
Set up the device where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and where it
is not exposed to additional warming through heating elements.
Prevent metal items, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax, or similar items,
from getting into the interior of the device through the vent slots in the
rear panel. Such objects can cause short circuits in the set, which could
possibly cause a fire.
If something should get into the interior of the set then immediately
unplug the mains plug of the device and contact customer service for
more information.
Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Only have your TV device
repaired or serviced by authorized television technicians.
Only use ori gi nal accessories such as Loewe stands if possible (see Accessories on page 60).
Supervision
Do not allow children to use the TV set without supervision or to play in
the immediate vicinity of the TV set . The set could tip over, be pushed
off or pulled down from the stand surface and injure someone.
Do not allow the switched-on TV set to run unattended.
Volume
Loud music can lead to ear damage. Avoid extreme volume especially
over long periods and when using headphones.
Cleaning
Clean the TV set, the screen, and the remote control unit with a soft,
moist, and clean cloth,only, without any aggressive or scouring cleaning
agents .
Thunder storms
Pull out the mains plug and all connected antenna cables from the TV
set in a thunderstorm. Overvoltage caused by lightning can damage the
set via the antenna system, as well as via the mains power. The mains
plug and all connected antenna cables should also be pulled out during
long periods of absence.
Energy consumption
Your TV set is equipped with an eco-standby power supply. In the standby
mode, the power consumption drops to low power (see Technical data on
page 59). If you want to save even more energy then switch the device
off with the mains switch. However note that in this case, EPG (Electronic
Programme Guide) data will be lost, and it may be that programmed
timer recordings cannot be executed via the TV device.
If you activate the automatic dimming (see page 21), your TV picture will
adapt to the ambient brightness. This reduces the power consumption
of the TV set.
Packaging and box
You have made a decision to purchase a high-quality technical product
with a long service life. For disposal of the packaging, in accordance with
national legislation we have paid a fee to a commissioned recycler to pick
up the packaging from the dealer. Nevertheless we recommend keeping
the original box and packaging material on hand so that the device can
be transported with optimal protection if necessary.
The set
The EU directive 2002/96/EC regulates the proper way
to recycle, handle and utilise used electronic devices.
Old electronic devices consequently must be disposed of
separately. Please do not dispose of this device in normal
household trash!
You may return your used set free of charge at designated
recycling centres or at your specialist dealer whenever you purchase a
new, comparable set. Further details about returning (also for non-EU
countries) are available from your local authorities.
Note on the LCD screen
The TV set you have purchased with LCD screen satisfies the most rigorous quality requirements and has been inspected relative to pixel errors.
In spite of the utmost care in manufacturing the display, for technical
reasons the possibility that some pixels will have defects cannot be 100%
excluded. Please understand that these types of effects, as long as they
are within the standard of specified limits, cannot be considered as a
device defect in terms of the guarantee.
The batteries supplied as initial equipment do not contain
any pollutants such as cadmium, lead, or mercury.
Used batteries should no longer be disposed of in the do-
mestic waste according to the Battery Ordinance. Dispose
of your batteries at no charge in the collection containers
that are set up for this purpose in retail stores.
