Lightning storms
For your own safety, do not touch any
part of the TV set, mains lead, or
aerial lead during lightning storms.
Damage requiring service
If the surface of the TV set cracks, do not touch it until you
have unplugged the mains lead. Otherwise electric shock
may result.
Servicing
Do not open the cabinet. Entrust the
TV set to qualified service personnel
only.
Small accessories removal and
fittable
Keep accessories out of children's reach. If they are
swallowed, choking or suffocation may occur. Call a doctor
immediately.
Broken glass
Do not throw anything at the TV set. The
screen glass may explode by the impact
and 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 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.

Corrosion
If you use this TV set near the seashore, salt may corrode
metal parts of the TV set and cause internal damage or fire.
It may also shorten the life of the TV set. Steps should be
taken to reduce the humidity and moderate the temperature
of the area where the TV set is located.
