• Not standing the television on cloth or other materials placed between the television and supporting
furniture.
• Educating children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television or its controls.
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 Direct LED LCD TV (electrical shock, short circuit and fire
hazard)!
WARNING!
Never insert any objects through the slots and openings of the Direct LED LCD TV (electrical
shock, short circuit and fire hazard)!
• The slots and openings on the Direct LED LCD 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 on 1300 884 987 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 Direct LED LCD 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.

After sales support
• 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 Direct LED LCD 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 Direct LED LCD TV should only be carried out by qualified specialists.
• Please contact the MEDION Help Desk at 1300 884 987 if you have any problems with your Direct LED LCD TV. ALWAYS have
repairs completed only by our authorised service centre.
• Make sure to use only replacement parts provided by the manufacturer. The device may sustain damage if unsuitable
replacement parts are used.
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 Direct LED LCD 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 Direct LED LCD 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 Direct LED LCD 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 Direct LED LCD 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 Direct LED LCD 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 Direct LED LCD TV and easily accessible.
• In order to disconnect the power to your Direct LED LCD 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 Direct LED
LCD 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 Australian 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.
