Safety

The television's components are sensitive to heat.The maximum ambient temperature should not exceed 35° Celsius.
Do not cover the vents at the back or sides of the television.
Leave sufficient space around it to allow adequate ventilation.
Damp in rooms where the set is installed should not exceed 85% humidity.
If you have to use the television outdoors, do not expose it to water from rain or splashing.
Therefore be careful not to place any object containing a liquid (vase, glass, bottle,...) on or near your appliance.
Moving it from a cold atmosphere into a warm one can cause condensation on the screen (and on some components inside the television).
Leave the condensation to evaporate before turning the television on again.
If you are away for a long period, switch the set off at the on/off switch.
Even when off, some components remain in contact with the mains electricity supply.
To completely isolate it you must remove the plug from the mains supply socket.
According to the model dependent, the on/off switch is located at the front or side of the television.
During thunder storms, we recommend that you disconnect the television from the mains and aerial so that it is not affected by
electrical or electromagnetic surges that could damage it.
For this reason, keep the mains socket and aerial socket accessible so they can be disconnected.
Immediately disconnect the television if you notice it giving off a burning smell or smoke.
You must not under any circumstances open the television yourself.
You are at risk of electrocution if you do so.
The set is provided with adequate shielding to avoid the emission of X-rays.
Work by unqualified persons, modifications to the high voltage or replacement of the tube by a model not complying with the
manufacturer's recommendations may cause a sharp increase in X-ray emissions.
A set modified in this way no longer meets the original specifications and should not be used.
Precautions to be taken with TV sets/ monitors

Care

Clean the screen with a glass care cleaner and the rest of the set with a soft cloth and neutral detergent.
Regularly dust the vents at the back or sides. Using solvents, abrasive or alcohol based products risks damaging the television.

Demagnetization

Badly shielded loudspeakers or other strong magnetic fields near the TV can cause patches of colour to appear on the screen.
Move any magnetised materials away from the TV, switch the set off and switch it on fifteen minutes later.
Before setting up your television set, make sure that the surface you want to put the set on can support its weight
(see the list of specifications provided with the booklet).
Don't place the set on an unstable surface (e.g. moving shelf, very edge of a unit) and make sure that the front of the
television set does not overhang the surface it is sitting on.
