Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benefit from the support

Read this user manual before you start to use this product.
In particular, pay close attention to this section and follow the safety and screen care instructions. The product warranty does not apply if damage is caused by failing to follow these
instructions.
Safety
Two people are required to lift and carry a TV that weighs more than 25 kilos (55lb). •
Improper handling of the TV can result in serious injury.
To avoid short circuit, do not expose the TV, remote control or remote control batteries •
to rain or water.
To avoid risk of fire or electric shock, do not place the TV, remote control or remote •
control batteries near naked flame sources (for example, lighted candles) and other heat
sources including direct sunlight.
Do not touch any part of the TV, power connector or antenna cable during lightning •
storms.
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 mounting the TV on a flat surface, be sure to use only the supplied stand and to mount •
the TV on a level, solid surface. 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 injury 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 casue arcing or fire.
Do not place the TV on the cord or anything else that can pinch the cord or loosen the •
mains plug. An improperly connected mains plug or
damaged mains cord can cause arcing, fire or electric shock.
Be sure that you have full access to the mains cord for •
easy disconnection of the TV from the mains.
When disconnecting the TV from the mains, be sure to:•
Turn off the TV, then the mains power (if available).•
Unplug the mains cord from the mains socket outlet. •
5
Important
Unplug the mains cord from the power connector at the back of the TV. Always pull the •
mains cord by the plug. Do not pull the mains cord.
Permanent hearing loss may 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.
Although your TV consumes very little power when in standby, energy continues to be •
consumed as long as the mains remain connected and powered. When not in use for extended periods of time, switch off and disconnect the TV from the mains.
Screen care
Turn off and unplug the mains cord before cleaning the screen.•
Clean the screen with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use substances such as household cleaning •
agents as these may damage the screen.
To avoid deformations or color fading, wipe off water droplets as soon as possible.•
Do not touch, push, rub or strike the screen with hard objects as this may damage the •
screen permanently.
Where possible, avoid stationary images that remain on-screen for extended periods of •
time. Examples include screen menus, teletext pages, black bars or stock market tickers. If
you must use stationary images, reduce the screen contrast and brightness to avoid screen
damage.
Environmental care
This product is designed and manufactured for material recycling.•
Recycle the product packaging at your local recycling centre and dispose of used batteries •
according to local regulations.
Do not dispose the product with household waste. Ask your dealer for information on •
how to safely dispose of the product. Uncontrolled waste disposal harms both the environment and human health (EEC 2002/96/EC).
This TV consumes minimal energy in standby mode to minimise environmental impact. Ac-•
tive power consumption is displayed at the back of the TV.
Caution
This is Class 1 apparatus. It must be connected to a mains socket out with a protective earthing connection.
