as on the packaging.

Safety1.1

If transporting the TV in low temperatures •
(less than 5°C), open the box and wait until
the TV matches the ambient temperature
of the room before unpacking.

To avoid short circuit, do not expose the •
TV, remote control or remote control
batteries to rain or water.

Do not place vessels of water or other •
liquids on top of or near the TV. Spilling
liquids on the TV can cause electric shock.
If liquids are spilt on the TV, do not operate
the TV. Immediately disconnect the TV from
the mains and have the TV checked by a
qualified technician.

Do not insert any strange object into the •
ventilation slot. This might lead to damage
of TV .

To avoid risk of fire or electric shock, do •
not place the TV, remote control or remote
control batteries near naked flame sources
(e.g. lighted candles) and other heat sources
including direct sunlight.

Do not install the TV in a confined space •
such as a bookcase. Leave a space of at
least 10cm (four inches) around the TV
for ventilation. Be sure air flow is not
obstructed.

If placing the TV on a flat, solid surface be •
sure to use only the supplied stand. Do not
move the TV if the stand is not properly
screwed to the TV.

Wall mounting of the TV should only be •
performed by qualified personnel. The TV
must only be mounted on an appropriate
wall bracket and on a wall that can safely
hold the weight of the TV. Improper wall
mounting can result in severe injur y or
damage. Do not attempt to wall mount the
TV yourself.

If the TV is mounted on a swivel base or •
swivel arm, ensure no strain is placed on
the power cord when the TV is swivelled.
Strain on the power cord can loosen
connections and cause arcing or fire.

Disconnect the TV from the mains and •
antenna before lightning storms. During
lightning storms do not touch any part of
the TV, mains cord or antenna cable.

Be sure that you have full access to the •
mains cord for easy disconnection of the
TV from the mains.

Permanent hearing loss can occur if you use •
earphones or headphones at high volumes.
Though high volume may sound normal
over time, it can damage your hearing. To
protect your hearing, limit the amount of
time you use earphones or headphones at
high volume.

When disconnecting the TV from the mains, •
be sure to:

EN

EN-3

Turn off the TV, then the mains power •
(if available).
