0DLQV 6RFNHW 2XWOHW $& a 9 +]

To prevent fire or electrical shock, do not use the TV set in an excessively damp place.

Position the TV set out of direct sunlight and away from heat, as high temperatures can damage the cabinet, CRT, or other electronic parts.

Do not cover ventilation slots with objects such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

Do not cover the ventilation holes at the back of the TV set, this can cause fire or other serious problems. Leave an adequate open space behind the TV set for good ventilation.

In order to ensure that the television is properly ventilated, leave a space of at least 10 cm around the set.

Do not install this equipment in a confined space such as a bookcase or a built-in cabinet.

Television equipment and cart combination should be moved with care. Quick stops, excessive force, and uneven surfaces may cause the equipment and cart combination to overturn.

To prevent electrical shock, do not subject the AC power cord to damage by bending or twisting it, or by placing heavy items on top of it and do not place the AC power cord under the TV set. If the AC power cord becomes damaged, unplug it from the wall outlet immediately and call your dealer for service.

Do not place this television equipment on an unstable cart, stand, or table. The television equipment may fall, causing serious injury to a child or an adult, and serious damage to the equipment.

Use only with a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer, or sold with the television equipment.

Never remove the back of the cabinet, as there is high voltage in the TV set.

Please call for service.

When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used replacement parts which are specified by the manufacturer or have the same specifications as the original one. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.

ENGLISH - 3 -

Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet immediately if the TV set begins to make unusual noises or give off smoke or an odd smell, then call your dealer for service.

Always disconnect your television from the mains and the aerial cables during thunderstorms.

Even if your television is switched off, it can still be damaged by lightning striking the mains and/or aerial cable.

Do not leave your TV set in Stand-by or operating mode when you leave the house.

In order to prevent electrical shocks and fires, ensure that the television is not subjected to splashes or spills of water, and avoid inserting objects or pouring any type of liquid into the set.

To prevent fire, never place any type of candle or naked flames on the top or near the TV set.

If an object or liquid enters the set, disconnect the mains supply and contact technical service.

Wall or shelf mounting should follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and should use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer.

Do place the TV set onto an even stand, table or track which size is bigger than the TV set.

If the TV set is put onto a smaller size or uneven stand, table or track may cause the TV cabinet distort. Do not put or insert anything between TV set and the stand, table or track.

The tube of your TV has a special coating. Do not knock or rub on the tube face with sharp or hard surfaces, otherwise you will damage the coating.

To prevent damaging the surface of the television screen, remove finger prints only with a soft cloth dampened with glass

cleaner. Do not use any abrasive cleaners.

Do not use thinner, benzene or other strong chemical cleaners.

Warning!

Any intervention contrary to regulations, in particular, any modification of high voltage or a replacement of the picture tube may lead to an increased concentration of x-rays. Any television modified in this way no longer complies with license and must not be operated.

Instructions for waste disposal:

Packaging and packaging aids are recyclable and should principally be recycled. Packaging materials, such as foil bag, must be kept away from children. Batteries, including those which are heavy metal-free, should not be disposed of with household waste. Please dispose of used batteries in an environmentally sound manner. Find out about the legal regulations which apply in your area.

CAUTION: For environmental and safety reasons, it is recommended that this television set is not left in stand-by mode whilst not in use. Switch it off using the main switch. During periods of absence from home it is also wise to disconnect the set by unplugging the mains plug.
