Sicherheitshinweis

Fernsehgeräte arbeiten mit sehr hohen Spannungen. Um ein Feuer oder einen elektrischen Schlag zu vermeiden, sollten Sie unbedingt die folgenden Sicherheitshinweise beachten.

Allgemeine Hinweise

• Dieses Fernsehgerät ist zum Empfang und der Wiedergabe von Audio- und

Videosignalen bestimmt. Jegliche andere Verwendung des Gerätes ist nicht erlaubt.

• Setzen Sie das Gerät keinesfalls Regen oder sonstiger Feuchtigkeit aus.

• Öffnen Sie nie selbst die Rückwand des Gerätes.

• Lassen Sie Reparaturen ausschließlich von Fachpersonal ausführen!

Zur sicheren Installation

• Stellen Sie das Gerät nicht an einem heißen, feuchten oder übermäßig staubigen Platz auf.

• Decken Sie die Lüftungsschlitze des Gerätes nicht ab. Lassen Sie zur Belüftung

mindestens 10 cm um das Gerät frei (z.B. in einer Regalwand).

• Setzen Sie das Gerät keinen starken Erschütterungen aus.

• Stellen Sie das Gerät nur auf einen stabilen TV-Stand, der für das Gewicht und die

Abmessungen des Gerätes ausgelegt ist.

Zum sicheren Betrieb

• Betreiben Sie das Gerät nur an 220 - 240 V AC, 50 Hz.

• Ziehen Sie sofort den Netzstecker, falls Flüssigkeiten oder Gegenstände in das Gehäuse
