For Your Own Safety - Loewe Mimo 15 SAT Operating Instructions Manual

For your own safety

For your own safety and in order to avoid
unnecessarily damaging your TV set, please
read and observe the following safety
instructions:
• This TV set is designed exclusively for
receiving and reproducing audio and visual
(AV) signals.
• Do not place any objects containing liquids
e.g. flower vases or lit candles on top of the
equipment.
• This equipment is designed for the home
and office and may not be operated in
rooms with a high humidity (e.g. bathrooms,
saunas) or high concentration of dust (e.g.
workshops). If the equipment is used
temporarily outdoors, make sure it is
protected against moisture (rain, dripping or
splashing water or condensation). High
humidity and dust concentrations lead to
creep currents in the equipment which can
lead to danger of electric shock or fire.
The manufacturer guarantee only applies for
use in the specified permissible
environment.
• This equipment may only be connected to a
power supply with the voltage and
frequency specified on the rating plate with
the power cable/AC adapter provided. The
wrong voltages could damage the
equipment.
• If the set is moved from a cold environment
to a warm room, condensation forms on all
parts of the set. Moisture produces creep
currents in the set which can cause a fire. In
this case, you should leave the set for a
reasonable time to acclimatize (when the
condensation on the screen has evaporated)
before switching it on.

• Like every piece of electronic equipment,
your TV needs air for cooling. Obstructing
the air supply to the set can cause fires. The
air vents on the back of the TV set must
always be kept free. Do not leave
newspapers or cloths lying on the TV set.
• Stand the TV set in a place where it is not
exposed to direct sunlight or additional
heating from radiators.
• Avoid dropping metal objects, needles,
paper clips, liquids, wax or similar into the
air vents at the back of the set. This causes
short circuiting of the set and could start a
fire. If anything should get inside the set,
switch it off immediately, pull out the plug
and call the after-sales service to check it.
• You should never attempt to remove the
rear panel of the TV yourself. The set
operates with high voltages which could be
fatal. Leave repairs and servicing of your TV
set to authorized TV technicians.
• Do not allow children to play close to the TV
set, they could knock, push or pull it from
the stand and injure someone.
• Do not place the TV anywhere where it may
be exposed to vibrations because this can
lead to overloading of materials.
• Do not leave the TV on unsupervised.
• Pull out the antenna and mains plugs
during a thunderstorm. Surge voltages from
lighting strikes can damage the set both
through the antenna system and the mains.
You should also pull out the antenna and
mains plugs during long periods of absence.

• The mains plug of the TV must be easily
accessible so that it can be disconnected
from the mains quickly at any time.
• Lay the power cable so that it cannot be
damaged. The power cable may not be
kinked or laid over sharp edges, and may
not be walked over or exposed to chemicals;
the latter applies for the entire TV set. A
power cable with defective insulation can
lead to electric shocks and is a fire risk.
• When you pull out the mains plug, do not
tug the cable but hold the housing of the
plug. The cables in the mains plug could be
damaged and cause a short circuit the next
time it is plugged in.
