2. Safety Instructions
2.1. Operating Safety
• Children should be supervised to ensure they do not play with this unit. This unit is not intended for use by people
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental abilities or for those without experience and/or
knowledge, unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or they have been instructed on its
use.
WARNING!
Keep packaging material such as plastic film away from children. There is a risk of suffocation if used
improperly.
WARNING!
Never open the housing of the LED-Backlight TV (electrical shock, short circuit and fire hazard)!
WARNING!
Never insert any objects through the slots and openings of the LED-Backlight TV (electrical shock, short
circuit and fire hazard)!
• The slots and openings on the LED-Backlight TV are for ventilation purposes. Do not cover these openings
(overheating, fire risk)!
• Do not put any pressure on the display. There is a risk that the screen may break.
• The remote control has a class 1M infrared diode. Never use optical devices to look at the LED.
CAUTION!
There is a risk of injury if the screen is damaged! Recover all broken pieces using protective gloves and send
them to your Service Centre for proper waste disposal. Then wash your hands with soap because chemicals
may have leaked out.
• To avoid damaging the screen do not touch it with fingers or sharp objects.
• Contact customer services if:
− the power cable is burnt or damaged
− liquid has penetrated the device
− the device is not operating correctly
− the device has fallen, or the casing is damaged
2.2. Set-Up Location
• In the first hours of operation, new devices may emit a typical, unavoidable but completely harmless smell, which
will decline increasingly in the course of time. We recommend that you ventilate the room regularly, in order to
counteract the formation of the smell.
• Keep your LED-Backlight TV and all connected devices away from moisture and avoid dust, heat and direct sunlight.
• Do not use the device outdoors because other effects such as rain, snow etc. can also damage the device.
• The device must not be exposed to water droplets or spray. Do not place objects that are filled with water (such as
vases) on the device. The container may tip over and the liquid will impair the electrical safety.
• Do not operate the device near water and do not set it up near a wash-hand basin or bath, etc.
CAUTION!
Do not place any exposed sources of ignition (candles or similar) on or near the device.
• Make sure that there is enough clearance in the wall units! Ensure a minimum separation of 10 cm around the
device for sufficient ventilation.
• Operate all components on a stable, level and vibration-free base, to prevent the LED-Backlight TV from falling over.
• Avoid dazzle, reflections and strong bright-dark contrast in order to protect your eyes.
• The optimal viewing distance is 5 times the screen diagonal.
2.3. Repairs
• Repairs to your LED-Backlight TV should only be carried out by qualified specialists.
• Please contact our authorised service centre if you have any problems with your LED-Backlight TV.
• Make sure to use only replacement parts provided by the manufacturer. The device may sustain damage if
unsuitable replacement parts are used.
EN
5 of 42
2.4. Intended Environment
• The device can be operated at an ambient temperature of +5° C to +40° C and a relative humidity of 20% - 85% (non
condensing).
• In the switched-off state the LED-Backlight TV can be stored from -20° C to +60° C.
• Keep the device at a distance of at least one metre from high frequencies and magnetic sources of interference
(television, loudspeaker boxes, mobile telephones etc.) to avoid malfunctioning.
WARNING!
After transporting the LED-Backlight TV wait until the device has reached ambient temperature before
switching it on.
Large changes in temperature or fluctuations in humidity can cause moisture to build up due to
condensation within the LED-Backlight TV, which can cause an electrical short circuit.
• During thunderstorms or if the device is not going to be used for long periods, remove the plug from the mains
socket and the aerial cable from the aerial socket.
2.5. Power Supply
• Even when switched off, some components of the device are live. In order to disconnect the power to your LED-
Backlight TV or to completely isolate the device from voltage sources remove the mains plug from the mains socket.
WARNING!
Do not open the device’s housing. There is a risk of electric shock when the housing is open. The device
does not contain any parts requiring maintenance.
• Only plug the LED-Backlight TV into an earthed socket with 100-240 V~ 50/60 Hz. Contact you electricity provider if
you are not sure if the socket is earthed or not.
• The socket must be near the LED-Backlight TV and easily accessible.
• In order to disconnect the power to your LED-Backlight TV or to completely isolate the device from voltage sources
remove the mains plug from the mains socket. Always grab the plug firmly when unplugging it from the socket.
Never pull on the lead.
• For extra safety, we recommend using an over-voltage protection device to prevent your LED-Backlight TV
sustaining damage as a result of power surges or lightning strikes.
• If you are using an extension cable, make sure that it complies with UK and Ireland Electrical Safety requirements. If
in doubt, contact your electrician.
• Position the cable so that nobody is able to step on it or trip over it.
• Do not place any objects on the cable to avoid damaging it.
2.6. Battery Handling
WARNiNG!
Batteries can contain combustible materials. If not handled correctly batteries can leak, become very hot,
ignite or even explode, which could damage your device or/and your health.
Please ensure compliance with the following advice:
• Keep batteries away from children. Contact your doctor immediately if a battery is swallowed.
• Never charge batteries (unless it is clearly indicated).
• Never discharge batteries by high power output.
• Never short-circuit the batteries.
• Never expose the batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or similar.
• Do take apart or deform the batteries. Your hands or fingers could get injured or battery fluids could get into your
eyes or onto your skin. If this should happen then rinse the affected areas immediately with a large amount of clean
water and contact your doctor immediately.
• Avoid heavy impacts and vibrations.
• Always observe the correct polarity.
• Make sure that the plus (+) and minus (-) poles are correctly inserted in order to avoid short circuits.
• Never mix new and old batteries or different types of batteries. This could cause your device to malfunction. In
addition, the weaker batteries would discharge too much.
• Immediately remove used batteries from the device.
• Remove the batteries from the device if you do not intend to use it for a long period of time.
• Replace all the old batteries in a device with new batteries of the same type.
• Isolate the contacts of the batteries with sticky tape if you want to store or dispose of them.
• Clean the contacts on the battery and device before inserting.
