1. Standards
This monitor is an information-technology device and complies with the following directives and standards of the
European Union:
• 89/336/CEE dated 3 May 1989 with subsequent modifications (Directive 92/31/CEE dated April 1992 and
Directive 93/68/CEE dated 22 July 1993)
• 73/23/CEE dated 19 February 1973 with subsequent modifications (Directive 93/68/CEE dated
22 July 1993)
• EN55022, EN55024, EN61000-3-2/-3 (Electromagnetic Compatibility)
• EN60065 (Safety Requirements).
The compliance with the requirements of these standards is certified by the markings applied to the device.
2. Safety Notes
In order to avoid the risk of injuries and accidents during normal use, you should read and comply with the following safety notes. Incorrect installation or connection of the monitor could result in damage to the monitor itself
and to other devices connected to it. Observe the warnings on the monitor and in these operating instructions.
Never allow children to operate electrical equipment without supervision.
General information
The monitor you have purchased complies with the highest quality requirements in this sector and has been
inspected for pixel faults in accordance with the strict standard ISO 13406-2, Fault Class II. In spite of the extreme
care taken during manufacture, its is still possible, for technological reasons, that a few pixels do not function correctly.
Please note that such pixel faults cannot be regarded as a sufficient reason for warranty claims as long as they do
not exceed the limits laid down in the above-mentioned standard.
Under certain circumstances, there may be some hum on the sound channel of the monitor. This normally originates from the main voltage and may be caused by connecting the earthing wires of different devices together. You
can prevent it by connecting a so-called sheath-current filter between the incoming antenna cable and the antenna
input to the monitor. Such filters, which look like a small adapter, can be purchased from your local dealer.
For technical reasons, the monitor may also generate some noise, but this may not exceed the value shown in the
device specification.
If your monitor is connected to an external antenna, this antenna must be earthed to prevent electric shocks and to
discharge any static electricity which may be generated. The earth connection must comply with the applicable
national regulations.
Ambient conditions
Never use the monitor in ambient conditions which do not comply with the technical data shown at the end of these operating instructions.
Use of the monitor under other conditions can result in electric shocks, fire or failure of the monitor.
Protect the monitor against moisture. This includes continuous high relative-humidity values, water in the immedia-
te vicinity, water dripping or splashing from other objects and rain. Do not place objects filled with water, such as
flower vases, on the monitor. When connecting an external antenna, take care that no water can enter at the point
where the antenna cable passes through the external wall.
When installing the monitor, allow it to adapt itself to the temperature in the room in which it is installed. If moisture condenses on the monitor, allow it to evaporate completely before switching on.
If this is not done, there is a risk of electric shocks and irreparable damage to the monitor.
Protect the monitor against high temperatures. Do not expose it to direct sunlight. Do not install it close to fires,
radiators or other sources of heat. Take care that the heat generated by the monitor can be dissipated: do not
block the ventilation slits. Ensure that there is sufficient space between the ventilation slits and other pieces of furniture (above and below the monitor and on both sides). Do not allow curtains or drapes to hang over the monitor.
If this is not done, the monitor may overheat and may even catch fire.
Mains connection and operation
In order to safely disconnect the monitor from the mains supply, turn off the main power switch and remove the
mains cable from the outlet socket. Connect the monitor only to a correctly installed and earthed mains outlet sokket. Make sure that the mains voltage matches the value specified in the technical data of the monitor. Ensure that
the mains plug and the outlet socket can be reached easily at any time.
Non-compliance with the above may result in electric shocks, fire or failure of the monitor.
Lay the mains cable so that nobody can trip over it.
If the monitor falls from its table or mounting bracket, persons may be injured and there may be irreparable
damage to the monitor.
Use only the mains cable supplied with the monitor. Take care that it is not damaged and do not make any modifi-
cations to it. Never use a damaged mains cable. If the mains cable or the plug is damaged, the monitor may not
be used, since there is a risk of electric shock, fire or failure of the monitor.
Never touch the mains switch or the mains cable with wet hands. This could result in an electric shock.
Never remove the mains plug from the outlet socket by pulling the cable. Avoid laying the cable in the vicinity of
hot objects, since this could result in fire or electric shocks.
Before leaving the monitor unattended for a long period, or in the case of a thunderstorm, remove the mains plug
from the outlet socket and remove the plug of the antenna cable from the antenna socket as a precautionary measure to prevent fires and the risk of electric shocks.
Always switch off the monitor and the signal source before connecting them together in order to prevent electric
shocks and injuries.
Faults
If the monitor or its mains cable is damaged in any manner, immediately disconnect the mains cable from the outlet socket.
You should also immediately disconnect the mains cable from the outlet socket if you notice smoke, unpleasant
smells or unusual noises emanating from the monitor. The same applies if there is no picture on the screen when
you switch on the monitor or during normal operation. Never attempt to continue using the monitor under these
conditions.
Never attempt to open or repair the monitor. There are no components inside the monitor which you can repair or
replace. In the case of a fault, consult your local dealer.
Cleaning and care
Incorrect use and cleaning can cause irreparable damage to the monitor. You should therefore observe the following instructions for the cleaning and care of the monitor.
Handling:
Take great care when handling the screen surface.
Avoid all possible mechanical damage which could result from shocks, pressure, scratches, etc.
Do not touch the screen with sharp or hard objects.
Keep the screen clean.
Care and cleaning:
Before cleaning the monitor, switch it off and disconnect the mains cable from the outlet socket.
The screen may be cleaned only with a dry soft cloth (such as a microfleece duster). If the screen is very dirty, it
may be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened slightly with water. Take care that no water or other liquids drips into
the monitor, since this can damage it.
Immediately disconnect the mains cable from the outlet socket if foreign objects, such as water, other liquids, metal
objects, etc., fall into the monitor. Never attempt to insert objects of any kind into the monitor and never place
your hands inside the monitor, since this can result in an electric shock.

Batteries
If swallowed, batteries can cause serious injuries. For this reason, keep batteries out of reach of children. If someone swallows a battery, consult a doctor immediately.
Remove exhausted batteries immediately from the remote control, since they may leak and damage the remote
control.
The batteries enclosed with the monitor may not be recharged, reactivated by any means, taken apart, thrown
into a fire or short-circuited.
Exhausted batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
Other important notes
Note that the monitor is still connected to the mains voltage when it is switched to standby mode. In order to
disconnect it completely from the mains voltage, move the mains switch to the position "O" and/or disconnect the
mains cable from the outlet socket.
For ergonomical reasons, it is not advisable to use red or blue fonts or other symbols on a dark background, since
the resulting low contrast can result in eyestrain for the user. Wherever possible, select a high-contrast display
such as black text on a white background.
In order to avoid eyestrain, the recommended viewing distance is about five to six times the screen diagonal
dimension. The illumination in the room should be bright enough to permit reading. If the room is too bright, the
screen contrast will be reduced. If the room is too dark, rapid changes in the brightness of the screen display can
strain your eyes.
If you wish to connect external loudspeakers, make sure that these comply with the technical data of the loudspeaker output. If the external loudspeakers are too small, the loudspeakers and/or the integrated amplifier may be
damaged.
The packing materials used for the monitor are suitable for recycling. When they are no longer needed, dispose
of them accordingly.
3. Overview
The TFT monitor offers a multitude of connections for external devices such as personal computers, DVD players,
video recorders, video cameras, etc.
Regardless of whether the pictures come from the TV receiver, a video recorder or a PC, they are displayed with
high resolution and free of distortion on the absolutely flat screen. The screen display is extremely bright and
unusually brilliant. Other important features of the monitor are the large size of the screen, with an aspect ratio of
15:9, and the very flat design.
For the reception of TV programmes, a terrestrial antenna, a SAT receiver or a cable receiver is needed.
The monitor is operated interactively with the aid of the enclosed remote control and the on-screen display (OSD),
also called the menu. This can be used to make various settings for optimum picture quality.
An innovative cooling system permits the operation of the TFT monitor without the need for noisy fans. The monitor
is thus just as quiet as a conventional TV set and ideal for use in living rooms and conference rooms.

3.3 Keys and Functions of the Remote Control
Before you can control your TFT monitor with the remote control, you must plug it into a mains socket and switch it
on with the mains switch.
The infrared remote control will operate correctly only if there are no physical obstacles between it and the infrared sensor located at the bottom of the front side of the monitor. The maximum range of the remote control is
about 7 metres.
It may happen that the monitor cannot receive the signals from the remote control, or that the range of functions is
greatly restricted, although there are no obstacles in the way. In such cases, please reduce the distance between
the monitor and the remote control.
As the batteries become weaker, the range of the remote control will be reduced. In such cases, fit new batteries in
the remote control. Use only dry batteries of the type LR03 AAA 1.5 V.
