• The TV set is designed exclusively for operation in a dry place. When using the TV outside, please, make sure it is protected against moisture (rain, splashing water). Never expose to moisture.
• Do not place any objects or containers filled with liquids, such as vases, etc. on the TV. These containers might get pushed over, which would endanger electric safety. Place the TV exclusively on flat and stable surfaces. Do not place any objects such as newspapers or blankets, etc. on or under the TV.
• Make sure the appliance does not stand on any power cables as they might get damaged. Mobile phones and other devices such as WLAN adapters, monitoring cameras with wireless signal transmission, etc. might cause electromagnetic interference and they should not be placed near the appliance.
• Do not place the appliance near heating elements or in a place with direct sunlight as it has a negative effect on the cooling of the appliance.

• Storms are dangerous for all-electric appliances. If the mains or aerial wiring is struck by lightning the appliance might get damaged, even if it is turned off. You should disconnect all the cables and connectors of the appliance before a storm.
• To clean the screen of the appliance use only a damp and soft cloth. Use only clean water, never detergents, and in no case use solvents.
• Position the TV close to the wall to avoid the possibility of it falling when pushed.
• WARNING – Never place a television set in an unstable location. A television set may fall, causing serious personal injury or death. Many injuries, particularly to children, can be avoided by taking simple precautions such as
• Use cabinets or stands recommended by the manufacturer of the television set.
• Only use furniture that can safely support the television set.
• Ensure the television set is not overhanging the edge of the supporting furniture.
• Not place the television set on tall furniture (for example, cupboards or bookcases) without anchoring both the furniture and the television set to a suitable support.
• Not place the television set on cloth or other materials that may be located between the television set and supporting furniture.
• Educate children about the dangers of climbing on furniture to reach the television set or its controls.
• Ensure that children do not climb or hang onto the TV.
• If your existing television set is being retained and relocated, the same considerations as above should be applied.
• The instructions shown below are a safer way to set up the TV, by fixing it to the wall and will avoid the possibility of it falling forwards and causing injury and damage.
• For this type of installation you will need a fastening cord A) Using one/both of the top wall-mounting holes and screws (the screws are already supplied in the wall mounting holes) fasten one end of the fastening chord/s to the TV. B) Secure the other end of the fastening chord/s to your wall.

• Do not use the TV set directly after unpacking. Wait until the TV warms up to the room temperature before using it.
• Never connect any external devices to a live appliance. Switch off not only the TV but also the devices which are being connected! Plug the TV plug into the wall socket after connecting any external devices and the aerial!
• Always make sure there is free access to the TV mains plug.

• The systematic use of headphones at high volume might lead to irreversible hearing damage.
• Ensure environmental disposal of this appliance and any components including batteries. When in doubt, please, contact your local authority for details of recycling.
• While installing the appliance, do not forget that furniture surfaces are treated with various varnishes, plastics, etc. or they might be polished. The chemicals contained in these products might have a reaction with the TV stand. This could result in bits of the material sticking to the furniture surface, which are diffi cult to remove, if not impossible.
• The screen of your TV has been produced under top quality conditions and was checked in detail for faulty pixels several times. Due to the technological properties of the manufacturing process, it is not possible to eliminate the existence of a small number of faulty points on the screen (even with maximum care while in production). These faulty pixels are not considered faults in terms of guarantee conditions if their extent is not greater than the boundaries defined by the DIN norm.

Important information regarding the use of video games, computers, captions, and other fixed image displays.

• The extended use of fixed image program material can cause a permanent “shadow image “ on the LCD screen (this is sometimes incorrectly referred to as “burnout to the screen“). This shadow image is then permanently visible on the screen in the background. It is irreversible damage. You can avoid such damage by following the instructions below:
• Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
• Do not display the fixed image for a long period of time. Avoid displaying:
  » Teletext time and charts,
  » TV/DVD menu, e.g. DVD contents,
  » In the„Pause“ mode (hold): Do not use this mode for a long time, e.g. while watching a DVD or a video.
  » Turn off the appliance if you are not using it.

Batteries

• Observe the correct polarity when inserting the batteries.
• Do not expose batteries to high temperatures and do not place them in locations where the temperature might increase quickly, e.g. near the fire or in the direct sunshine.
• Do not expose batteries to excessive radiant heat, do not throw them into the fire, do not disassemble them, and do not try to recharge un-rechargeable batteries. They could leak or explode.
  » Never use diff erent batteries together or mix new and old ones.
  » Dispose of batteries in an environmentally friendly way.
  » Most of the EU countries regulate the disposal of batteries by law.
