• A location should not be selected such as a room with high humidity, as the condensation, arising in the kitchen for example, may cause malfunction or damage the set.

• Heating or other thermal radiation under the set also may cause malfunction or damage the set.

• The hot air, which arises during the operation, should be ventilated with sufficient air circulation. Please do

not put the set into closed areas and do not cover it.

• Please avoid the contact of the set with water or humidity. Do not put into operation near bath, swimming pools.

• Take care to provide a good air circulation. Place the apparatus in a location with adequate ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the apparatus.

9. FREEVIEW FEATURES

9.1 Digital Teletext

Many digital terrestrial television channels not only broadcast video and sound for programs but also pages of information on the programs, the weather, news and many other topics. This digital teletext can be displayed by the FreeView receiver. Some channels are entirely given over to digital teletext and carry no normal TV program at all. These dedicated digital teletext channels will not give a quarter-screen display in the Channel List screen. When such a channel is selected, after a brief pause, they will usually display the opening page of information automatically. Other channels have digital teletext pages broadcast alongside the television program and often include a reduced-size broadcast picture within digital teletext pages. These usually require the TEXT button to be pressed to activate the digital teletext pages.

In both cases, moving through the different pages of information is accomplished in a variety of ways, dependent on the individual broadcasters, but including use of the 5/6/3/4and SELECT keys to select items from on-screen menus, and the coloured keys to jump directly to particular pages.

You can exit any digital teletext channel by changing channel in any of the normal ways. You can leave the digital teletext function of a combined digital teletext/program channel, to return to normal television viewing of that channel, by pressing the TEXT key.

Hint: Calling for the information banner or any menu on-screen stops the receiver from displaying the digital teletext pages and they are temporarily replaced by a blank picture while the banner or menu is displayed.
