Safety Information

This set is to operate on a 220-240V AC supply only. Take care not to connect too many appliances to the same power socket as this could result in ﬁre or electric shock.

Do not open the cabinet and the rear cover of the TV. Refer to qualiﬁed service personnel only.

Do not cover the ventilation openings of the TV For ventilation, leave a space of at least 10cm all around the set.

For environmental and safety reasons, it is recommended that the TV set is not left in standby mode when not in use. Disconnect from the mains.

For your own safety, do not touch any part of the TV, power lead or aerial lead during lightning storms.

Never place the TV in hot, humid or excessively dusty places. Do not install the TV where it may be exposed to mechanical vibrations.

Never push objects of any kind into the set as this could result in a ﬁre or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the set. If any liquid or solid object does fall into the cabinet, do not operate the TV. Have it checked immediately by qualiﬁed personnel.

To prevent ﬁre or shock hazard, do not expose the TV to rain or moisture.

To prevent ﬁre, keep inﬂammable objects or naked lights (eg candles) away from the TV.

Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft, lightly dampened cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, or antistatic spray. As a safety precaution, unplug the TV before cleaning it.

Place the TV on a secure stable stand. Do not allow children to climb on to it. Do not place the TV on its side or face up.

Pull out the power lead by the plug. Do not pull on the power lead itself.

Unplug the power lead before moving the TV. Avoid uneven surfaces, quick steps or excessive force. If the set has been dropped or damaged, have it checked immediately by qualiﬁed service personnel.

Additional Safety Information

•When moving the TV set two persons are needed. To prevent damage DO NOT push on the speaker grills on each side of the screen. Do not grasp the front panels to prevent these parts from breaking off. Support the bottom of the screen with one hand while grasping the top part with the other hand.

•Do not block or cover the ventilation opening situated on the bottom rear of the left hand side of the TV set. For ventilation, leave a space of at least 10 cm from the wall.

•If after transporting the TV set, directly from a cold to a warm location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, pictures may be blurred or show poor colour over portions of the picture. This is because condensation has formed on the mirrors or lenses inside the TV set. Let the moisture evaporate before using the TV set.

•To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting directed down from the ceiling.

Safety Information

Take care not to place heavy objects on the power lead as this could result in damage. We recommend you wind any excess lead around the holders provided on the rear of the TV.

Do not cover the ventilation openings of the TV with items such as curtains or newspapers etc.

• This TV set incorporates the latest high-precision LCD technology. Even though the highest standards are applied in manufacture it is still possible that a few black dots or bright points (red, green or blue) may be visible on the screen under certain picture conditions. It is not possible to remove them and this is not a fault condition.

• The screen of this TV set has an anti-reflection screen coating. To avoid screen degradation, follow the advice given below:

• To remove dust from the surface of the screen, wipe with the

supplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth.

• Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft, lightly dampened cloth.

Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, or antistatic spray. As a safety precaution, unplug the TV before cleaning it.
