Safety warnings

General

Do not insert the power plug in a wall socket or hang the TV to the wall before all connections are made.

• Place or hang the TV wherever you want, but make sure that air can circulate freely through the ventilation slots.

• Do not install the TV in a confined space such as a book case or a similar unit.

• To prevent any unsafe situations, no naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed in the vicinity.

• Avoid heat, direct sunlight and exposure to rain or water.

• The equipment shall not be exposed to dripping or splashing.

Care of the screen

Do not touch, push or rub or strike the screen with anything hard as this may scratch, mar or damage the screen permanently. And please do not rub with dust clothes with chemical treatment. Do not touch the surface with bare hands or greasy cloth (some cosmetics are detrimental to the screen). Unplug the TV before cleaning the screen. When the surface becomes dusty, please wipe gently with absorbent cotton or other soft materials like chamois soaks. Do not use acetone, toluene and alcohol because they cause chemical damage. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.Wipe off saliva or water drops as soon as possible. Their long time contact with the screen causes deformations and colour fading.
