WARNINGS:
Do not handle or remove your TV Mirror from the packaging until it is ready to be installed.
To avoid damage to the TV Mirror, only transport it in a vertical position. Transporting the product horizontally may permanently warp the mirror.
It is highly recommended that at least three (3) persons assist in the installation of the TV Mirror.

Lighting and Performance

The environment in which the TV Mirror is installed will affect the product performance. The key factors to consider for proper installation are surroundings and ambient light. Use the following guidelines to maximize the performance of the Séura product:

Type of Lighting
Avoid direct natural sunlight and excessive fluorescent lighting. These conditions will diminish the TV brightness and hinder its performance.

Light Direction
Avoid directing light toward the mirror. Position lights such that they illuminate objects in the room, not the mirror itself. For example, lights on the wall next to the mirror are more favorable than lighting located on the ceiling in the center of the room.

Background Colors
Sidewalls and furnishings that are dark, uniform, and non-reflective will provide better performance of the display. Bright colors, patterns, and contrasting colors will minimize the quality of the display.

DO use ambient or indirect lighting that illuminates the room, not the TV Mirror.

DO use shades or window treatments to block outdoor light that would interfere with picture performance.

DO NOT position lighting directly on the TV Mirror. This will wash out the picture and hinder the product’s performance.

DO NOT position the product opposite bright, untreated windows. Natural lighting will interfere with picture performance.

Care and Maintenance

Our mirror technology has been developed to completely protect the mirror surface and allow easy maintenance. Please follow the guidelines listed for proper mirror care and cleaning:

• The glass surface can be cleaned with any conventional non-ammoniated glass cleaner. Care should be taken to use only a soft lint-free cloth. Apply all cleaners directly to the cloth and not the mirror surface. Never saturate the mirror surface as residual cleaner may seep behind the mirror.
• Stubborn spots can be removed with solvents such as mineral spirits, de-natured alcohol, and acetone. Immediately remove solvent and dirt residues per the prescribed methods above with a compatible glass cleaner or water.

Lighted TV Mirror

Séura Lighted TV Mirrors use LEDs that are rated to retain 70% overall brightness and the end of life, including cases where an individual LED fails.

Display Requirements

Operation and Storage Requirements

The ambient temperature for operating the device is between 41° to 104° Fahrenheit. Do not install the device in the proximity of heat sources, such as heating pipes, heaters, furnaces or other devices that radiate heat. Mount the device in such a way that it is protected against moisture. To prevent fire or electric shock, never allow liquids to enter the unit. The product must be stored in dry and wellventilated rooms, without extreme temperature fluctuations. Heat sources and aggressive active substances may not be stored in the proximity of the device. The required storage temperature is 32° F – 140° F at an air humidity of 5 – 85% RH non-condensing. The device must be stored in the complete packaging, as delivered. The product must not operate on average more than twelve (12) hours per day on a permanent or extended periodic basis. The product must have proper, correct and sufficient AC supply voltage.

Installation Environment

Avoid direct light or sun exposure, direct proximity to heat sources, and outdoor installation. The product is specifically designed for indoor use only. There is the danger of fire and of electric shock and damage to the device if it is operated outdoors. Do not place any heat sources such as radiators and heat registers, etc. near the monitor. To reduce eye strain, avoid installing the Séura TV Mirror against a bright background such as a window. Position the monitor at the height of your eye level. Position the monitor directly in front of you at a comfortable viewing distance.

Installation

Have this product installed by qualified personnel only. Use the mounting systems which are specified or recommended by Séura. Install the product in a way that it is fixed properly and take care that children are not exposed to danger. Please take extra care during installation, avoid impacts. Before cabling your monitor, check that the power is off. To avoid any possibility of electric shock, always connect your equipment to properly grounded outlets. Use of power cords or adapters other than those provided may cause fire or malfunction. Place this product as close to the power socket as possible. Leave enough space to insert and remove the power plug on demand. Even if you switch off the product with your remote control, power is not cut off unless the power cord is unplugged.

The device may only be operated with the provided power adapter. The rated voltage is indicated on the product label. Use only power cords and plugs that are suitable for your local electrical outlets. Install the power cords in such a way that it does not obstruct anyone. Ensure furthermore that the cable is not clamped and that it cannot be pulled out accidentally from the power adapter. Do not install the power cords in the proximity of heating elements and never place heavy items on the cable or power adapter. Do not modify or arbitrarily repair the power cords.

CAUTION
Do not use any power cords or adapters other than those provided with this product! Use of power cords or adapters other than those provided with this product may cause fire, electric shock or malfunction. If several kinds of power cords are provided with this product, use the one that fits your power socket. Do not let the adapter hang down while using. Do not cover or wrap the adapter. Leave space around the adapter to prevent overheating. The individual components can be destroyed, if the polarity is reversed or an incorrect connection is used. A goodwill replacement is not possible in such cases, since each device is submitted to meticulous quality inspections prior to shipping. The connecting plugs must be attached in such a way that the connector is held firmly. Have trained technical personnel install the electrical facilities necessary for mounting. The power adapter must be installed in ventilated areas due to heat emission. Connect the power cord to a grounded outlet. Never cut or damage the power cord.

Please disconnect the device from the power adapter in the following cases:

1. The device is out of use for a lengthy period.
2. The device malfunctions or displays other unusual features, necessitating maintenance work.
3. During a thunderstorm.

Please plan the positioning of the power adapter and the source cables before proceeding with the structural measures and positioning of the Séura TV Mirror. Observe the protection zones when placing the power adapter! For in- wall applications please bear in mind that the power adapter has to be placed beyond the inset due to heat emission. Optional 50′ adapter extension cables may be purchased from Séura.

NOTE
The power adapter should be adequately secured to prevent it from becoming unstable and/or falling. Make sure the power source circuits are properly grounded. Use the supplied power cord in order to connect it to the power source. If your installation requires a different power cord, be sure to use an officially approved power cord displaying the mark of the safety agency that defines the regulations for power cords in your country. Please consider that the AC outlet for the power adapter is placed within reach of the Séura TV Mirror and should be easily accessible in case it needs to be powered off.

Install the unit in a dry environment where the operating ambient temperature will not exceed 40°C / 104°F. Also, don’t position the power adapter on top of the Séura monitor system in order to prevent thermal overload. Ensure that your installation complies with your national and local safety rules. Any servicing, adjustment, maintenance or repair must be performed only by service-trained personnel.

Ensure the power adapter is installed in an accessible location, to access it easily in case of a defect. If you choose to place the power adapter in a separate space, take care that ventilation is present, because the power adapters need convection cooling for stable working conditions.

When placing the power adapter in a fully enclosed space, make sure the air flow around the sides and top of the power adapter is not restricted. According to a common rule of thumb please calculate the length of the power adapter plus an additional gap of at least 3″ (75mm) all around for DC 19V power adapters.
