ENGLISH

To ensure your personal safety and the efficient operation of
your equipment, please follow the advice given below :

Television sets need ventilation to avoid overheating which can
cause damage to the components. The ventilation slots at the back
of the set should not be covered up by curtains, small covers,
newspapers, etc… There must be enough room in built-in
cupboards to allow the cooling air to circulate. The set should not
be placed directly next to heating.
This appliance is designed for use in dry areas. If occasionally you
should wish to operate it outdoors (for example, on the balcony or
veranda), you must insure that it is protected against all forms of
moisture (dew, rain, splashed water).
A cold set may be switched on in a warm room only after any
condensation which may happen to be on the screen has
evaporated. Never remove the cabinet back. Have your aerial
installed by an authorised dealer or service technician.
In the evenings, after the TV programmes, or in case of a
prolonged absence, it is recommended that the appliance be
switched off using the on/off switch.
Even if the ON/OFF switch is in OFF position the set is not
completely separated from the mains. In order to separate the set
completely from the mains, the set has to be disconnected by
unplugging the mains plug.
Remove the power plug from the wall outlet under the following
conditions:

1. During a thunderstorm, it is also recommended that you
disconnect the aerial plug.

2. In case of malfunction, if the set does not operate normally.

Additional information :
Your TV set is adequately shielded to prevent emission of X-rays.
The acceleration voltage does not exceed the maximum value of
26 kV.
Work by non-qualified technicians, modification of the high voltage
setting or the replacement of the tube with a model that does not
comply with the manufacturer's specifications may lead to
X-radiation.
A set changed in any of the above ways no longer satisfies the
initial specifications and should not be put back into service.

The screen should be cleaned with liquid glass cleaner.

• Never use abrasive cleaners.

• To clean the front and the cabinet of your equipment use a soft cloth dipped in mild detergent. The use of strong
solvents such as white spirits or alcohol based products could damage your equipment.

• Clean the vents on the rear panel of your set regularly.

The earth's magnetic field may have an effect on your television by causing patches of colour to appear on the screen.
If this happens :

• Switch off the television with the on-off button

• Wait a few minutes, and then press again to switch on.

This allows the screen to be demagnetised automatically. If patches of colour are still visible repeat the procedure.

SAFE USE OF THE EQUIPMENT

1. TO TURN ON

2. CARE OF THE EQUIPMENT

3. DEMAGNETISATION

LEAVE ROOM FOR VENTILATION.

AVOID HEAT,
WATER,
DIRECT SUNLIGHT.

Do not place audio loudspeakers near
to television. The magnets in the
speakers could cause patches of
colour to appear on the screen.
