• 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 tech-
nological 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 defi ned by DIN norm.

Important information regarding use of video
games, computers, captions and other fi xed image
displays.
• The extended use of fi xed image program material can cause a perma-
nent "shadow image " on the LCD screen (this is sometimes incorrectly
referred to as "burnout to the screen"). This shadow image is then perma-
nently visible on the screen in the background. It is irreversible damage.
You can avoid such a damage by following instructions below:
• Reduce the brightness/contrast setting to a minimum viewing level.
• Do not display the fi xed image for a long period of time. Avoid display-
ing of:
» 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 on locations where the tempera-
ture might increase quickly, e.g. near the fi re or on
the direct sunshine.
• Do not expose batteries to excessive radiant heat,
do not throw them into the fi re, 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.
Disposal
• Do not dispose of this TV as unsorted municipal waste.
Return it to a designated collection point for the recycling
of WEEE. By doing so, you will help to conserve resources
