Safety Information

Do not open the cabinet and the rear cover of 

the TV. Refer to qualified service personnel 

only.

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose 

the TV to rain or moisture.

For your own safety, do not touch any part 

of the TV, power lead or aerial lead during 

lightning storms. 

Do not cover the ventilation openings of the 

TV For ventilation, leave a space of at least 

10cm all around the set.

Never place the TV in hot, humid or 

excessively dusty places. Do not install the 

TV where it may be exposed to mechanical 

vibrations.

To prevent fire, keep inflammable objects or 

naked lights (eg candles) away from the TV.

Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft, 

lightly dampened cloth. Do not use any type 

of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring 

powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, 

or antistatic spray. As a safety precaution, 

unplug the TV before cleaning it.

Pull out the power lead by the plug. Do not 

pull on the power lead itself.

Take care not to place heavy objects on the 

power lead as this could result in damage.

We recommend you wind any excess lead 

around the holders provided on the rear of the 

TV.

Place the TV on a secure stable stand. Do not 

allow children to climb on to it. Do not place 

the TV on its side or face up.

Do not cover the ventilation openings of the 

TV with items such as curtains or newspapers 

etc.

Never push objects of any kind into the set as 

this could result in a fire or electric shock. 

Never spill liquid of any kind on the set. If 

any liquid or solid object does fall into the 

cabinet, do not operate the TV. Have it 

checked immediately by qualified personnel.

For environmental and safety reasons, it is 

recommended that the TV set is not left in 

standby mode when not in use. Disconnect 

from the mains.

This set is to operate on a 220-240V AC supply 

only. Take care not to connect too many 

appliances to the same power socket as this 

could result in fire or electric shock.

Unplug the power lead before moving the TV. 

Avoid uneven surfaces, quick steps or 

excessive force. If the set has been dropped or 

damaged, have it checked immediately by 

qualified service personnel.

Additional Safety Information

Safety Information

Safety Information

• When moving the TV set two persons are needed. To prevent 

damage DO NOT push on the speaker grills on each side of the 

screen. Do not grasp the front panels to prevent these parts from 

breaking off. Support the bottom of the screen with one hand 

while grasping the top part with the other hand.

• Do not block or cover the ventilation opening situated on the 

bottom rear of the left hand side of the TV set. For ventilation, 

leave a space of at least 10 cm from the wall.

• If after transporting the TV set, directly from a cold to a warm 

location, or if the room temperature has changed suddenly, 

pictures may be blurred or show poor colour over portions of the 

picture. This is because condensation has formed on the mirrors 

or lenses inside the TV set. Let the moisture evaporate before 

using the TV set.

•To obtain a clear picture, do not expose the screen to direct 

illumination or direct sunlight. If possible, use spot lighting 

directed down from the ceiling.

• This TV set incorporates the latest high-precision LCD technology. 

Even though the highest standards are applied in manufacture it is  

still possible that a few black dots or bright points (red, green or  

blue) may be visible on the screen under certain picture conditions. 

It is not possible to remove them and this is not a fault condition.

•  The screen of this TV set has an anti-reflection screen coating. To 

avoid screen degradation, follow the advice given below:

• To remove dust from the surface of the screen, wipe with the 

supplied cleaning cloth or a soft cloth. 

• Clean the screen and cabinet with a soft, lightly dampened cloth. 

Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleaner, scouring 

powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine, or antistatic spray. 

As a safety precaution, unplug the TV before cleaning it.

• Avoid touching the screen, and take care not to scratch the 

surface with hard objects.
