cause serious injury.

When not in use

For environmental and safety

reasons, it is recommended that

the TV set is not left in standby

when unused. Disconnect from

the mains. However, some TV

sets may have features which need the TV set to be left in

standby to work correctly. The instructions in this manual

will inform you if this applies.

Viewing the TV

To view the TV comfortably, the recommended viewing

position is from four to seven times the screen’s vertical

length away from the TV set.

View the TV in moderate light, as viewing the TV in poor

light strains your eyes. Watching the screen continuously

for long periods of time can also strain your eyes.

If the angle of the TV set is to be adjusted, steady the base

of the stand with your hand to prevent the TV set from

becoming separated from the stand. Be careful not to get

your fingers caught between the TV set and the stand.

Volume adjustment

Adjust the volume so as not to trouble your neighbours.

Sound carries very easily at night time. Therefore, closing

the windows or using headphones is suggested.

When using headphones, adjust the volume so as to avoid

excessive levels, as hearing damage may result.

Overloading

This TV set is designed to operate on

a 220–240 V AC supply only. Take

care not to connect too many

appliances to the same mains socket

as this could result in fire or electric

shock.

Heat

Do not touch the surface of the TV set. It remains hot, even

after the TV set has been turned off for some time.
