For your safety
This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standarts but,
like any electrical equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is
to be assured. So, please read the points below for your own safety. They are of a general nature,
intended to help you with all your electronic consumer products and some points may not apply
to the goods you have just purchased.
Air Circulation...
Leave at least 10 cm clearance around the television
to allow adequate ventilation. This will prevent the
TV from overheating and consequential possible
damage to the TV. Dusty places should also be
avoided.
Heat Damage...
Damage may occur if you leave the TV in direct
sunlight or near a heater. Avoid places subject to
extremely high temperatures or humidity, or locations
where the temperature is likely to fall below 5 C
(41F).
Mains Supply...
The mains supply required for this equipment is
110 - 240 V AC 50 Hz. Your TV set is designed
to operate with the adapter provided. The adaptor
will become hot during use, this is normal. ONLY
USE THE ADAPTOR SUPPLIED WITH THIS TV. Use
only the power cord supplied with the unit. Never
connect to a DC supply or any other power source.
DO ensure that the TV is not standing on the mains
lead. DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this
equipment, this incorporates a special Radio
Interference Filter, the removal of which will impair
its performance. In the UK, the fuse fitted in this
plug is approved by ASTA or BSI to BS1362. It
should only be replaced by a correctly rated and
approved type and the fuse cover must be refitted.
IF IN DOUBT PLEASE CONSULT A COMPETENT
ELECTRICIAN.
Do...
DO read the operating instructions before you
attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including
the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections
between pieces of equipment) are properly made
and in accordance with the manufacturers
instructions. Switch off and withdraw the mains
plug before making or changing connections.
DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt
about the installation, operation or safety of your
equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on
equipment.
Do not...
DON’T remove any fixed cover as this may expose
dangerous voltages.
DON’T obstruct the ventilation openings of the
equipment with items such as newspapers,
tablecloths, curtains, etc. Overheating will cause
damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON’T allow electrical equipment to be exposed
to dripping or splashing or objects filled with liquids,
such as vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DON’T place hot objects or naked flame sources,
such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close
to equipment. High temperatures can melt plastic
and lead to fires.
DON’T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs
with wood screws. To ensure complete safety,
always fit the manufacturer’s approved stand or
legs with the fixings provided according to the
instructions.
DON’T listen to headphones at high volume, as
such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON’T leave equipment switched on when it is
unattended, unless it is specifically stated that it is
designed for unattended operation or has a standby
mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment
and make sure your family know how to do this.
Special arrangements may need to be made for
infirm or disabled people.
DON’T continue to operate the equipment if you
are in anay doubt about it working normally, or it
is damaged in any way – switch off, withdraw the
mains plug and consult your dealer.
ABOVE ALL – NEVER let anyone, especially
children, push anything into holes, slots or
any other openings in the case – this could
result in a fatal electric shock.
NEVER guess or take chances with electrical
equipment of any kind – it is better to be
safe than sorry.
THE MAINS PLUG IS USED TO COMPLETELY
DISCONNECT THE TELEVISION AND
THEREFORE SHOULD BE EASILY ACCESSIBLE.

Zu Ihrer Sicherheit
Dieses Gerät wurde unter Berücksichtigung internationaler Sicherheitsstandards konzipiert und produziert.
Sie müssen jedoch - wie bei jedem anderen Elektrogerät - Vorsicht walten lassen, um beste Ergebnisse
zu erzielen und Sicherheit zu gewährleisten. Lesen Sie deshalb aus Sicherheitsgründen die unten
aufgeführten Hinweise. Das sind allgemeine Hinweise, die Ihnen bei der Bedienung elektrischer Geräte
behilflich sein werden. Einige Hinweise sind nicht nur für das bereits gekaufte Gerät relevant.
Luftzirkulation...
Halten Sie um den Fernseher mindestens 10 cm Abstand
zu Möbeln, etc. ein, um ausreichende Luftzirkulation
zu gewährleisten. Damit wird vermieden, dass sich der
Fernseher überhitzt und deshalb beschädigt wird.
Staubige Standorte sollten ebenfalls vermieden werden.
Schaden durch Überhitzung...
Sie könnten den Fernseher beschädigen, wenn sie
ihn direktem Sonnenlicht aussetzen oder in der Nähe
eines Heizkörpers aufstellen. Vermeiden Sie Standorte,
die sehr heiß oder feucht werden könnten, oder
Standorte, bei denen die Temperatur auf weniger als
5°C absinken könnte.
Netzspannung...
Für dieses Gerät ist eine Netzspannung mit 110 - 240 V
AC 50 Hz erforderlich. Ihr Fernseher ist für den Betrieb
mit dem mitgelieferten Adapter ausgelegt. Der Adapter
wird während der Benutzung heiß-das ist normal.
VERWENDEN SIE NUR DEN ADAPTER, DER MIT DIESEM
FERNSEHER MITGELIEFERT WIRD. Verwenden Sie nur das
Netzkabel, das mit der Einheit geliefert wird. Schließen
Sie das Gerät nie an eine Gleichstromversorgung oder
irgendeine andere Stromquelle an. Stellen Sie sicher, dass
das Fernsehgerät nicht auf dem Stromkabel steht. Schneiden
Sie den Netzstecker NIE von diesem Gerät ab. Er hat
einen speziellen Funkstörungsfilter und wenn dieser entfernt
wird, könnte dies die Leistung des Geräts beeinträchtigen.
In Großbritannien ist die Sicherung in diesem Stecker durch
ASTA oder BSI bis BS1362 genehmigt. Er sollte nur durch
einen korrekt bestimmten und genehmigten Typ ersetzt
werden und die Sicherungsabdeckung muss neu angepasst
werden. FALLS SIE ZWEIFEL HABEN, FRAGEN SIE BITTE
EINEN SACHKUNDIGEN ELEKTRIKER.
Erlaubt...
LESEN Sie die Bedienungsanleitung vor Beginn
des Betriebs.
VERGEWISSERN Sie sich, dass sämtliche
elektrische Verbindungen (einschließlich Netzkabel,
Verlängerungskabel und die Verbindungen
zwischen den Geräteteilen) ordnungsgemäß und
im Anklang mit den Anweisungen des Herstellers
angeschlossen sind. Ziehen Sie den Netzstecker
aus der Netzsteckdose bevor Sie mit dem Herstellen
oder der Änderung von Anschlüssen ansetzen.
LASSEN Sie sich von Ihrem Händler beraten,
wenn Sie Zweifel an der Installation, dem Betrieb
oder der Sicherheit des Geräts haben.
Bei der Handhabung von Glasplatten oder - Türen
an dem Gerät ist äußerste Vorsicht GEBOTEN.
Verboten...
Entfernen Sie KEINE fest angeschraubten Deckel,
da sonst gefährliche Spannung austreten kann.
Die Ventilationsöffnungen des Geräts dürfen NICHT
mit Gegenständen wie Zeitungen, Tischtüchern,
Vorhängen, etc. blockiert werden. Die Überhitzung
kann eine Beschädigung oder Kürzung der
Lebenserwartung des Geräts zur Folge haben.
Setzen Sie das Gerät KEINEM Tropf- oder
Spritzwasser aus und stellen Sie keine mit Flüssigkeit
gefüllten
Behälter, wie z.B. Vasen, auf das Gerät.
Das Gerät muss NICHT von Wärme- und
Flammenquellen wie brennenden Kerzen oder Lampen
ferngehalten werden. Hohe Temperaturen können
das Plastik schmelzen und zu Bränden führen.
Verwenden Sie KEINE selbst gemachten Ständer.
Benutzen Sie NIEMALS Holzschrauben zur Befestigung.
Um Sicherheit zu gewährleisten, verwenden Sie nur
vom Hersteller empfohlene Ständer oder Gestelle mit
anweisungsgemäßer Befestigung.
Stellen Sie bei Kopfhörerbetrieb immer NUR einen
mäßigen Lautstärkepegel ein.
Wenn Sie den Kopfhörer über längere Zeit mit sehr
hoher Lautstärke betreiben, kann es zu dauerhaften
Gehörschäden kömmen. Lassen Sie KEINE Geräte
ohne Aufsicht angeschaltet, es sei denn es wird
ausdrücklich darauf hingewiesen, dass diese für
unbeaufsichtigten Betrieb konzipiert sind oder über
einen Standby-Betriebsmodus verfügen. Schalten Sie
das Gerät durch Betätigen der Netztaste auf dem
Gerät aus. Vergewissern Sie sich, dass Ihre Familie
damit vertraut ist, wie man das macht. Für kranke
oder behinderte Menschen können Sondereinrichtungen erforderlich sein.
NICHT weitergehen, wenn Sie Zweifel an der
ordnungsgemäßen Funktion des Gerätes haben oder
das Gerät beschädigt ist. Schalten Sie gegebenenfalls
das Gerät aus, ziehen Sie den Netzstecker aus der
Netzsteckdose und wenden Sie sich an Ihren Händler.
AM ALLERWICHTIGSTEN - Lassen Sie NIEMALS
zu, dass besonders Kinder irgendetwas in
Löcher, Nuten oder sonstige Öffnungen am
Gehäuse hineinstecken. Dies kann einen
elektrischen Schlag hervorrufen.
Verlassen Sie sich NIEMALS auf Zufälle oder
Glück beim Umgang mit Elektrogeräten
beliebiger Art –
DER NETZSTECKER DIENT DAZU, DAS
FERNSEHGERÄT VOLLSTÄNDIG VOM NETZ
ZU TRENNEN UND MUSS DAHER LEICHT
ZUGÄNGLICH SEIN.
Sicherheit ist besser als Reue!
