Important safety instructions

Warnings and precautions

 Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage

matches the voltage indicated on the identification label located at the back of the set.

 The TV set’s components are sensitive to heat.The

maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius.

 Do not cover the vents at the back of the TV set.

Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation.

 Install the TV set away from any source of dust or heat

(radiator, etc.). Do not expose it to direct sunlight.

 Moisture in rooms where the set is installed should

not exceed 85% humidity. If you have to use the TV set outdoors, do not expose it to rain or splashing water.

 Moving the set from a cold place to a warm one can

cause condensation on the screen (and on some inside components). Let the condensation evaporate before switching the TV set on again.

 During thunderstorms, we recommend that you

disconnect the set from the mains and aerial so that it is not affected by electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it. For this reason, keep the mains and aerial sockets accessible so they can be disconnected if needed.

 Unplug the set immediately if you notice it giving off a

smell of burning or smoke.You must never, under any circumstances, open the set yourself, as you risk an electric shock in doing so.

 If you intend to be away for a long period, switch the

set off at the on/off switch located on the rear panel (see the figure below).

 Even when off, some components remain in contact

with the mains electricity supply.To completely isolate the set you must remove the plug from the mains supply socket.

 This product is fitted with a 3-pin grounded plug, which

will only fit into a grounded power outlet.This is a safety feature. Do not alter the plug, as this would defeat the safety feature.

 Avoid any intrusion of liquid or small metallic objects

inside the set. If such an incident were to occur, immediately disconnect the TV set from the mains supply and refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

 Use the screen saver when using a computer.  Switch the TV set to standby mode when you do not

use it.

 The top of the TV set is usually very hot due to the

high temperature of exhaust air released through the ventilation openings. Do not place your hands or face close to these openings to avoid burns or personal injuries. Do not place any object close to the ventilation openings to avoid any damage to the object or to the TV set itself.

 Make sure that all cables are disconnected before

moving the TV set, to avoid damaging the cables and thus cause fire or electric shock danger.

Switching on

Please respect the environment and the relevant regulations. Before you dispose of batteries or accumulators, ask your dealer whether they require special recycling and if he is able to take them back.

Follow the instructions on this page to switch on the TV set and the remote control.

1. Install two LR06 or AA batteries in the remote control.

Precautions on using batteries:

- Only use the battery types specified.

- Make sure you use the correct polarity.

- Do not mix new and used batteries.

- Do not use rechargeable batteries.

- Do not expose batteries to excessive heat, throw them on the fire, recharge them or try to open them, as this could cause them to leak or explode.

- Remove the batteries from the remote control if you are not using it for a long period of time (several weeks).

2. Connect the TV set to a mains socket. The set should only be connected to an AC supply. It must not be connected to a DC supply. If the plug is detached from the cord, do not, under any circumstances, connect it to a mains socket, as there is a risk of electric shock.

Equipment for the UK is supplied with a mains cable fitted with a moulded plug.This plug contains safety components and must not be replaced by one sold by general retailers. It is fitted with a fuse that protects your television. If your set has stopped working, the fuse may have blown. If it has, replace it with an identical ASTA or BSI certified (BS1362) 13-amp fuse.

3. Connect the outside aerial or cable network to the antenna connector (labelled ANT) on the rear panel of the TV set.

The aerial socket can be used for connecting an external aerial or other equipment fitted with a modulator (video recorder, satellite receiver, etc.). We recommend that you do not connect other equipment (video recorder, satellite receiver, etc.) to your TV set to begin with, so as not to complicate the set-up procedure with this additional equipment. Connect them when you have finished setting up the channels.

4. Switch the TV set on by putting the main power switch located at the back on the ON position, then pressing the power button on the front panel. The first time you switch on the TV set, the language selection menu appears.
