Important information

Safety

Ensure that your domestic mains supply voltage matches the voltage indicated on the identification sticker located at the back of your set.This LCD TV set is a class 1 appliance. It must be connected to an electrical wall socket with an earth.

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 or sides of the TV set. Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation. Install the appliance away from any source of heat (fireplace, ...) or appliances creating strong magnetic or electric fields.

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. Do not place any object containing a liquid (vase, glass, bottle, etc.) on or near

the set. Moving the set from a cold place to a warm one can cause condensation on the screen (and on some components inside the TV set). Let the condensation evaporate before switching the TV set on again.

The button at the side of the TV set can be used to switch it on and put it into standby mode. If you are not going to be watching the TV for a lengthy period of time,switch it off completely by removing the plug from the mains power socket.

During thunderstorms,we recommend that you disconnect the TV 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 necessary.

Unplug the TV set immediately if you notice it giving off a smell of burning or smoke.You must never, under any circumstances,

open the TV set yourself, as you run the risk of an electric shock in doing so.

LCD panel

The LCD panel used in this product is made of glass.Therefore, it can break when the product is dropped or impacted upon by other objects.

The screen of your LCD TV is protected by a glass shield. Under certain conditions (changes of temperature and humidity) moisture may form between the glass and the screen. If this relatively rare condition arises, it is only necessary to switch on the LCD TV for around twenty minutes, to make it disappear.

The LCD panel is a very high technology product, giving you finely detailed pictures. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of blue, green or red.This does not affect the performance of your product.

Care

Use a glass-cleaning product to clean the screen and a soft cloth and mild detergent to clean the rest of the set. Important: Using strong detergents, alcohol-based and abrasive products may damage the screen.

Dust the vents at the back and sides regularly. Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol-based products could damage the TV set.

If an object or liquid enters inside the appliance, unplug it immediately and have it checked by an authorised engineer.

Never open the appliance yourself since this may put you at risk or damage the appliance.

THOMSON disclaims any liability if the TV set is not used in accordance with this manual.

HELPLINE

Before setting up your television set,make sure that the surface you want to put the set on can support its weight (see the list of specifications provided with the booklet).

Don’t place the set on an unstable surface (e.g. moving shelf, very edge of a unit) and make sure that the front of the television set does not overhang the surface it is sitting on.

IFC130-L_EN 4/08/05 17:22 Page 2

Getting started

Switching on

Follow the instructions on this page on how to switch on your TV set and the remote control before going on to following pages describing how to use the remote control and the channel set-up procedure.

1. Insert 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 in a 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 power cable FIRST to the television, THEN to a mains socket.

Your TV set should only be connected to a 220 - 240 V ~ 50/60 Hz AC supply. It must not be connected to a DC supply. If the plug is detached from the cable, do not, under any circumstances, connect it to a mains socket, as there is a risk of electric shock.

Equipment for the UK and Ireland 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) 5-amp fuse.

3. Connect the outside aerial or cable network to the TV Antenna socket at the back

of the TV set.

The aerial socket (75 Ohms - VHF / UHF / cable) 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 the additional steps involved. Connect them when you have finished setting up the channels by referring to page 20 of this manual.

4. Switch the TV on by pressing the button located on the side.

Note:The first time you switch on the television, the language selection menu appears.

You will find a description of how to use the remote control on page 4.Then go to page 6 for information on the initial set-up, or to page 7 for information on manual set-up (if the channels have already been set up on your TV).

Note: Before connecting other devices to the AV sockets, carry out the initial channel set-up (described on page 6) in order to avoid any problems with equipment selection.

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.
