Important safety instructions
WARNINGS & PRECAUTIONS
Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage matches the voltage indicated on the identification label located
at the back of the set.
The monitor components are sensitive to heat. The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35
Celsius.
outdoors, do not expose it to rain or splashing water.
Moving the monitor 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 monitor 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.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 monitor. If such an incident were to occur,
immediately disconnect the monitor from the mains supply and refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
Use the screen saver when using a computer.Switch the monitor to standby mode when you do not use it.The top of the monitor is usually very hot due to the high temperature of exhaust air released through the ventila-
tion 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 monitor itself.
Make sure that all cables are disconnected before moving the monitor, to avoid damaging the cables and thus
cause fire or electric shock danger.

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
8
fire, recharge them or try to open them, as this could cause them to leak or explode.

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
13A
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 (BSI 362) 13-amp fuse.
3 Connect the outside aerial or cable network to the antenna
connector (labelled ANT) on the rear panel of the monitor. 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.
42WM03STW-0707-en.p65 2003/9/5, PM 12:538
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.
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.
Initial set-up
The initial set-up involves setting all the parameters required to be able to search and store all the channels you can receive in your area. Make sure that the TV set is switched on and follow steps 1 to 4. When you first switch the TV set on, the language selection menu appears (1). If this does not happen, refer to the Manual installation section to find out how to carry out an automatic search.
